INSTALLATION

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, CANDY declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.

Before installing the hob :



 make sure that the appliance is compatible with the gas supply source.

The hob is pre-set in the factory to work with the type of gas shown on the packing and the plate attached to it. Natural gas G 20-20 mbar / G 25-25 mbar : mains gas

 if necessary, adapt the hob for use with another type of gas : if the hob must be used with another type of gas than the gas pre-set in the factory, it is necessary to adapt the hob gas burners (page 24/25).

The procedure for adaptation consists of : . fitting the correct jets to ensure nominal delivery, . adjusting the appearance of the flame by regulating the air ring according to the data given in the table.

For installation :



 built-in hob (page 26/27).  make the gas connection according to the type of gas to be used : based on

the gas to be used, choose the appropriate gas connection (page 28). Warning : certain countries request the setting of a tapered connector. Follow the special instructions in page 28.

 make the hob electrical connection according to the instructions (page

INSTALLATION: "BUILDING-IN"

BUILDING-IN : both the unit into which the hob will be fitted and any adjacent kitchen

furniture must be made from heat resistant material and fixed with heat resistant adhesive. If, when installing the hob, the lower part of the casing is adjacent to an area normally

accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a partition 1 cm below the base of the casing with a 10x10 cm opening at the rear right-hand corner, to avoid any risk of burning or damage.

There should also be a 5 cm gap between the appliance and all adjacent vertical surfaces. A foam adhesive is supplied with the hob. Stick this seal under the edge of the body as near

as possible to the outer edge of the hob. Press round the edges of the hob, so that the seal flattens out and ensures an air tight seal. Warning : at the rear of the appliance, take care not to block the air inlets necessary for combustion to take place.

(1) on condition that the hose is accessible along the whole of its length and it should be located so it cannot be reached by naked flame or affected by combustion gases. Neither should it be near hot parts of the hob nor anywhere where hot spillages could affect it.

2 POSSIBLE MEANS OF CONNECTION* :

• CONNECTION BY RIGID PIPE Connect directly to the threaded end of the inlet pipe.

• CONNECTION BY FLEXIBLE PIPE WITH MECHANICAL CONNECTOR Screw the nuts of the flexible pipe directly on to the inlet pipe at one end and the gas supply stop tap at the other. We recommend this type of connection.

* A tapered connector is supplied in the bag to fit certain models of hobs made for specific markets. It must only be used in countries where it is compulsory (for example : Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany).

Page 11

INSTALLATION: "ELECTRICAL CONNECTION"

The mains electricity supply connected to the appliance should comply with the norms in force in the country of installation.

Connection to the mains electricity supply should be through a socket with an earth terminal, or through an intermediary switching device with a gap between contacts of at least 3 mm. The power supply unit must be protected by appropriate fuses and use cables of a large enough cross section to provide a normal supply to the appliance.

The hob is fitted with a power supply cable* which allow it to be connected only to a power supply of 230 V between phases, or between phase and neutral.

• Connect to a 10/16 Amp socket. Before connecting, it is compulsory to check :

. the power supply voltage shown on the electricity meter, . the adjustment of the circuit breaker, and . the fuse rating 10A.

Note : the socket must be reachable for any eventual repair. Take care of its location at the time you install the hob.

Warning : before proceeding with the connection, check the continuity of the earthing of the power supply unit. We cannot be held responsible for any accident which has resulting from the use of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or whose earthing is defective.

* The eventual replacement of the supplying cord must be carried on by the After Sales Service or by an agreed engineer, with a cord whose characteristics must be similar to the original one :

. Gas hob : cord type H05 V2V2-F, 3 G 0,75 section, . Mixed hob : cord type H05 V2V2-F, 3 G 1,5 section.

"Gaining access to the by-pass screw" To gain access to hob burner by-pass screws, remove the knobs from the control panel.

By-pass screw of the hob burner

Never loosen the others screws !

REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME ON THE HOB BURNER a) Natural gas :

. simply loosen the screw. . switch on the burner and turn the knob to minimum. . Turn the by-pass screw until a low flame is visible. Turn the control knob from minimum to maximum position to check that it is satisfactory.

b) Butane-propane gas : The by-pass screw should be screwed fully home, without being locked.

Page 13

THE GAS BURNER

THE VERY FAST or VERY FAST "DOUBLE RING" BURNER has a power rating of 3,2 kW :

Use the large burner for bringing to the boil, for cooking large quantities, and generally for all foods requiring rapid cooking.

THE FAST BURNER has a power rating of 2,5 kW :

It is ideal for stewing, sauces and slow cooking.

THE SEMI-FAST BURNER has a power rating of 1,45 kW :

Use this small burner for small pans.

For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the dimensions given below :

* Very fast Ø 18 cm and more * Very fast double crown Ø 18 cm and more * Fast Ø from 16 to 18 cm * Semi-fast Ø 12 cm

On models fitted with cast iron pan supports, we supply a reduction pan support to use pans with dimensions of less than Ø 12 cm, on the rear left burner.

SOME TIPS ....

• Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

• Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact, it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.

• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.

• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.

RECOMMENDATIONS : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be turned off.

Page 14

THE GAS BURNER

Each burner is contolled by a tap with progressive settings allowing : * a wider choice of settings from the maximum position to the lowest and most precise one, * easier flame regulation according to the pan diameter, * no risk of cutting off the flame or switching off when the flame is turned down quickly.

Each burner is fitted with automatic ignition. The ignition can be made with one hand, while you have the pan in the other hand.

USE :

• Turn on the gas tap,

• A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit.

Hob with automatic ignition integrated on the knob :

• Press and turn the knob until position"High flame" keeping it pressed to produce sparks which in turn ignite the burner.

Hob with safety device on the burner and automatic ignition integrated on the knob :

The thermocouple fast safety is a device allowing the automatic cut-out of the gas supplying on the burner, in case the flame dies out accidentally.

• Press and turn the knob to position "High flame" keeping it pressed to produce sparks which in turn ignite the burner. Keep the pressure on the control knob a few seconds to permit the releasing of the safety device.

• Set the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate positions are available between the "High flame" and "Low flame" settings on the control knob.

• To turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position.

Please note :

. If there is a power cut, the burner can be ignited by pressing in and turning the knob to position "High flame" and holding a naked flame to the burner.

Page 15

THE HOT PLATE

THE SPEED PROTECTED HOT PLATE fitted to the mixed hob is located at the rear left.

This is a cast-iron hot plate, controlled by a 7 position switch. An internal thermostat cuts off part of the power supply if there is any abnormal heating. (if, for example, a hot plate is working without a pan on it).

BEFORE USING THE ELECTRICAL HOT PLATE :

• Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature to let the protective coating harden.

HOW TO USE :

• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.

• An indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is operating.

• To switch off, turn the knob back to the starting point " ".

THE DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS :

Below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be able to choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and requirements.

Cooking with the electrical hot plate

To get the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :

• Use thick, flat-bottomed cooking vessel : a completely flat bottom prevents the overheating of some points which cause food to stick. Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.

• Make sure that the bottoms of pan are dry : this will prevent things from sticking to the hot plate because of moisture.

• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate, otherwise some of the energy will be wasted and if there are any spillages the hot plate will quickly become stained and difficult to maintain (rust, etc.).

• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it : it could become deformed, which would reduce its efficiency.

• When cooking with fat or oil, never leave the hob unattented, very hot fats and oils can quickly catch fire.

• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium foil.

Caution : the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make sure that small children are kept well away from the hob.

Page 17

CLEANING

Before all cleaning or dismantling operation, it is imperative to : . disconnect the hob to the mains supply, . let all parts of the hob cool down.

Never use : harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp object to clean the hob.

• GENERAL MAINTENANCE

THE HOB . Enamelled steel hob : simply clean the enamelled hob with soapy water when the hob is cold, rinse and wipe with a clean dry cloth. If you clean the enamelled hob when it is hot, you may tarnish it. . Stainless steel : clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. You can use a special product to clean stainless steel which is available in stores.

THE KNOBS - For thorough cleaning, the control knobs can be removed by pulling them upwards. Clean with soapy water, rinse and dry well before replacing.

THE GAS BURNERS For cleaning, it is recommended to remove all greasy or burnt deposits with ammonia

based products or usual cleaning products.

• The burner cap : it is simply placed on the burner. Remove the pan support, the burner cap and clean it with a slightly soapy sponge. Rinse and dry. The enamelled steel burner cap : do not immerse it in cold water when it is hot, this will prevent the enamel cracking as a result of thermal shock.

• The burner body : regular cleaning will maintain the appliance original appearance. Clean with a soapy sponge, rinse and dry. If the holes become clogged, brush the caps using soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.

When re-assembling the burners, make sure that the burner caps and the burners themselves are dry and after, seat them correctly.

Be careful not to let any water get into the burners.

Page 18

CLEANING

THE PAN SUPPORT

Depending on the model, the pan supports are made of chrome steel, enamelled steel or cast-iron. They are simply placed on the hob. Lift them up to remove them. For the maintenance of the pan support, never use harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp objects as this will cause irreparable damage to the enamel. When the pan support is cold, simply clean with soapy water, rinse and dry with a clean cloth.

Chromed grids and burners

Chromed grids and burners have the tendency to dark with the use. This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn’t jeopardize absolutely the functionnality of the hob. In option, enamelled grids and burners are available from our after sales service centre.

THE HOT PLATE

Heat it for a while if necessary, to burn the deposits. After switching off and cooling down of the plate, wipe it with an absorbing paper. In any cases, it is important to protect the hot plate from humidity. Do not use abrasive products. To maintain and preserve the appearance, rub a drop of neutral oil, such as sewing machine oil into the surface of the hot plate. The hot plate should always be dry, or slightly greasy, if it is not to be used for some time. Remove any rust using emery paper followed by a suitable commercially available product for the maintenance of soil hotplates.
