- The installation must be carried out by experienced and qualified personnel, in conformity with the
regulations in force.
- This equipment has been designed to be used by adults.
- Therefore, make sure that children do not go near the equipment to play with it.
- While the appliance is running, watch the children and make sure they neither stay near the equipment,
nor touch the surfaces that have not cooled down completely.

PERSONNEL, IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ARE DESCRIBED IN THE BOOKLET SECTION
INTENDED FOR THE INSTALLER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the
knob indicate the correspondence between the
knob and the burner.
Manual ignition
Press the knob and turn it anticlockwise until it
reaches the symbol on the control panel
(maximum flame position) and place a lighted
match or lighter near the burner.
Electrical ignition
Press the knob and turn it anticlockwise until it
reaches the symbol on the control panel
(maximum flame position) and press the button on
the control panel.
Automatic electrical ignition
Press the knob and turn it anticlockwise until it
reaches the symbol on the control panel (maximum
flame position) and then depress the knob.
On those models fitted with a safety device,
the knob must be pressed in for about 6
seconds once the burner has ignited.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste
of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is
suitable for the burner potential (see the following
table), so as to avoid that the flame goes out of the
pot bottom (fig.1).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the
liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the
reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling.
All of the operating positions must be chosen
between the maximum and the minimum ones,
never between the minimum position and the
closing point.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the
knob clockwise up to the closing position.

attention as these substances can catch fire
when overheated.
- Do not use sprays near the appliance in
operation.
- Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the
burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or
overflowing.
- Make sure that pot handles are placed properly.
- When the burner is started up, check that the
flame is regular and, before taking pots away,
always lower the flame or put it out.
ELECTRIC PLATE USE
The electric-plate is operated with a sevenposition switch and to turn the electric-plate on,
rotate the switch to any of the positions shown.
The red light is switched on when the electric-plate
is in operation.
Below as indicative basis, the settings to be used
for operating the electric-plate.
Warning
Use only flat pans and with sufficiently thick base,
equal or not much superior than that of the plate.
Do not switch the electric plate without the pan
over the plate.
Do not cook any food on the plate surface.
Turn off the plate few minutes before the cooking end.
After use the electric plate remains very hot for a
prolonged period of time, do not tuch it and do not
place anj abject on top of the plate.
For a good preservation, the electric plate must be
thoroughly cleaned with appropriate cleaning
products which are readly available.
When operating for the first time, it is necessary to
eliminate any humidity or oil which may
accumulated around the electric elements of the
plate by operating the electric plate on its lowest
setting (1) for about 30 minutes.

Installing the top
The appliance is designed to be embedded into
heat-resistant pieces of furniture.
The walls of the pieces of furniture must resist a
temperature at least a 90°C temperature.
The gas hobs are equipped with type X degree
protection against overheating. Therefore,
the appliance can be installed next to cabinets,
provided the height of the cabinet doses not
exceed that of the hob.
The equipment must not be installed near
inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloths,
etc.
Make a hole in the top of the piece of furniture,
with the dimensions indicated in fig.2, at a distance
of at least 50 mm from the appliance border to the
adjacent walls.
Any possible wall unit over the cook-top must be
placed at a distance of at least 700 mm from the

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
INSTALLATION
Fastening the top
Every cook-top is equipped with a special washer
having.
This must be placed under the edge of the box
unit, as close as possible to the edge itself.
With 70 mm hob, hooks must be placed, with
suitable screws V to the box unit.(fig. 3).
Introduce and place the cook-top in the hole made
in the piece of furniture, then block it with the
screws of the fastening hooks C (fig. 4 or 5).
Gas connection
Make sure that the appliance is adjusted for the
gas type available (see the label under the
appliance). Follow the instructions indicated in the
chapter “gas transformations and adjustments” for
the possible adaptation to different gases. The
appliance must be connected to the gas system by
means of stiff metal pipes or flexible steel pipes
having continuous walls, in compliance with the
regulations in force.
Gas enters the appliance through a cylindrical
threaded male gas union (1/2”).
The connection must not stress the gas ramp.
Once the installation is over, check the connection
seal with a soapy solution.
Electric connection
The connection to the electric grid must be carried
out by qualified personnel and in conformity with
the regulations in force.
The voltage of the electric system must
correspond to the value indicated in the label
under the appliance. Make sure that the electric
system is provided with an effective ground
connction in compliance with the regulations and
provisions of the law. Grounding is compulsory. If
the appliance is not equipped with a plug, apply a
standardized plug to the power supply cable.
It is possible to effect the connection to the electric
grid directly, by interposing an omnipolar switch
having a contact opening distance of at least 3 mm.

GAS TRANSFORMATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
GAS TRANSFORMATIONS AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Replacing the nozzles
If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that
is different from the one available, it is necessary
to replace the burner nozzles.
The choice of the nozzles to replace must be
made according to the table of the “technical characteristics”.
Act as follows:
- Remove the racks and burners.
- by means of a straight spanner L, unscrew the
nozzle U (fig.6) and substitute it with the corresponding one.
- tighten the nozzle strongly.
Adjusting the burners
The lowest flame point must always be properly
adjusted and the flame must remain on even if
there is an abrupt shift from the maximum to the
minimum position.
If this is not so, it is necessary to adjust the lowest
flame point as follows:
- start the burner up
- turn the tap up to the minimum position (small
flame)
- remove the knob from the tap rod
- introduce a flat-tip screwdriver C in the hole F or
near the tap rod (fig. 7-7A) and turn the by-pass
screw up to a proper adjustment of the lowest
flame point.
As regards G 30 gas burners, the by-pass screw
must be tightened completely.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Lubricating the taps
In case of tap hardening, it is necessary to
disassemble and grease it.
These are the operations to carry out:
- Unscrew the two screws that lock the head
flange of the tap.
- Lift the gas adjusting cone and carefully clean it
with gasoline or diluent.
- Spread a little high-temperature grease on it,
making sure that the gas holes are not
obstructed.
- Reassemble all of the parts with care.
Replacing the power supply cable
If the power supply cable should be replaced, it is
necessary to use a cable with a section of 3 x 0.75
mm2, type HO5VV-F or H05RR-F, complying with
the regulations in force.
The connection to the terminal board must be
effected as shown in fig. 9:
brown cable L (phase)
blue cable N (neutral)
green-yellow cable (ground)
