1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

INSTALLING A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE CAN BE A COMPLICATED OPERATION WHICH IF NOT CARRIED OUT CORRECTLY, CAN SERIOUSLY
AFFECT CONSUMER SAFETY. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT THE TASK SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN BY A PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED
PERSON WHO WILL CARRY IT OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECHNICAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS ADVICE IS
IGNORED AND THE INSTALLATION IS CARRIED OUT BY AN UNQUALIFIED PERSON, THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ANY TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT WHETHER OR NOT IT RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO GOODS OR INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS.

1.1 BUILDING IN

The hob may be installed in any worktop which is heat resistant to a
temperature of 100°C, and has a thickness of 25-45 mm. The
dimensions of the insert to be cut out of the worktop are in shown in

Figure 2.

When there is an accessible space between the built-in hob and the
cavity below, a dividing wall made of insulating material should be
inserted (wood or a similar material) (Figure 3).
If the Hob is fitted next to a cabinet on either side, the distance between
the Hob and the cabinet must be at least 15 cm ; while (see Figure 4)
the distance between the hob and the rear wall must be at least .70 mm
The distance between the hob and any other unit or appliance above it
(e.g. An extractor hood) must be no less than 70 cm . (Figure 4)

Metal objects in the drawer may reach high temperatures due to
air recirculation. It is therefore recommended to use an
intermediate wood panel.
Important - The diagram in figure 1 shows how the sealant should
be applied.

The Hob unit is fitted by attaching the Fixing Clamps supplied, using
the holes at the base of the unit.
If a hob of 60 cm is fitted above an oven which is not equipped with fan
cooling system it is recommended that openings are created within the
built in furniture to ensure correct air circulation.
The size of these openings must be at least 300 cm2 and placed as
shown in Figure 5.
When a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven, the latter must be fan
cooled.

1.2. SUITABLE LOCATION

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the regulations in
force and only used in a well ventilated space. Read the instructions
before installing or using this appliance.

A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the
area in which it is installed. For this reason you should ensure good
ventilation either by keeping all natural air passages open or by
installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive and
prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such as
the opening of a window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if
you have one.
If a hood can not be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an
outside wall or window to ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in
the kitchen 3-5 times every hour. The installer should follow the
relevant national standards.

2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (FOR U.K. ONLY)

U.K. only: by law the gas installation\commissioning must be
carried out by a "Gas Safe" installer)

All work must be carried out with the electricity supply disconnected.
The rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is
designed to be used. Connection to the mains gas supply or gas
cylinder should be carried out after having checked that it is regulated
for the type of gas with which it will be supplied. If it is not correctly
regulated see the instructions in the following paragraphs to change
gas setting.
For liquid gas (cylinder gas) use pressure regulators which comply
with the relevant national standards.
Use only pipes,washers and sealing washers which comply with the
relevant national standards.

For some models a conic link is furnished to outfit for the installation in
the countries where this type of link is obligatory; in picture 8 it is
pointed out how to recognize the different types of links (CY =
cylindrical, CO = conic). In every case the cylindrical part of the link
has to be connected to the hob.
When connecting the hob to the gas supply via use offlexible hoses
please ensure that the maximum distance covered by the hose does
not exceed 2 metres.

The flexible tube shall be fitted in such a way that it cannot come into
contact with a moveable part of the housing unit (e.g. a drawer) and does
not pass through any space where it may become crushed/ kinked or
damaged in any way.

To prevent any potential damage to the hob please carry out the
installation following this sequence (picture 6):

2)Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the
pipes into position.

3)Attach fitting C to mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or
flexible steel pipe.

IMPORTANT: carry out a final check for leaks on the pipe
connections using a soapy solution. NEVER USE A FLAME.
Also, make sure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact
with a moving part of the cabinet (eg.adrawer) and that it is not
situated where it could be damaged.

Warning: If gas can be smelt in the vicinity of this appliance turn off

the gas supply to the appliance and call the engineer directly. Do not
search for a leak with a naked flame.

2.3. ADAPTING THE HOB TO DIFFERENT
TYPES OF GAS

To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the
following instructions:

•Remove the grids and burners

•Insert on hexagonal spanner (7 mm) into the burner support (Figure

7)

•Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be
used (see gas type table)

2.4. REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME

3.1. USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in
and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few
seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the
pipes to escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

• Push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ignition symbol.

• İgnite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob
to the ignition symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the
control knob is being pressed.
If the burner has not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0
position and repeat the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the
flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited and
described above, but care must be taken.
Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and burner
caps are correctly placed within their position.

Warning: If there is no electricity on appliance, to ignite the burner a
lighter should be used;

- Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the ignition symbol,

- While pushing in the button ignite the burner by using a lighter and
keep button pushed in 5 seconds after ignition.

GENERAL ADVISE

For best results, use cooking vessels with a flat surface. The size of
the surface should match the gas burner side as follows. Table A.

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting
and then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by applying
gentle pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can
be adjusted as in Figure 9. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the
gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise increases the flow – Use this
adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and
then replace the control knob.
When the gas supply available is LPG - the screw to set the idle flame
must be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.
When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas
rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for
the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

3. USE OF HOB - USER INSTRUCTIONS
