2. USE
USE OF THE GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knob illustrated in fig. 5 which
controls the safety valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel
achieves the following functions:
3 full circle = closed valve
3 symbol = maximum aperture or flow
3 symbol = minimum aperture or flow
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the
minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between
maximum aperture and closed positions.

LIGHTING OF BURNERS
To light one of the gas burners, hold a flame (e.g. a match) close to the top part of
the burner, push in and turn the relative knob (fig. 5) in an anti-clockwise direction,
pointing the knob indicator towards the large flame symbol (i.e. max gas flow).
Models fitted with electric spark lighter button.
On these models, to light one of the burners you have to push in and turn the
relative knob (fig. 5) to the maximum aperture position (large flame symbol) and
press the electric lighter button (fig. 6) until the flame has been lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
Figure 5 Figure 6
8
Models fitted with electric lighter incorporated into the burner knobs.
To light one of the gas burners, push in and turn the relative knob to the maximum
aperture position (large flame symbol) and hold the knob in until the flame has been
lit (figure 7).
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the even that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner
in maximum aperture position, try again with the knob in minimum position.
Lighting gas burners fitted with safety valve device
In order to light the burner, you must:
< Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture, push
in and hold the knob. In models with the gas lighter incorporated in the knob,
this will light the gas (figure 7). If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a
lighted match close to the burner.
< For models with push-button lighting only push the gas lighter button (fig. 6).
< Wait about ten seconds after the gaslights before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).
< Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will
automatically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed position and repeat the
operations for lighting.

CHOISE OF THE BURNER
The symbols printed on the panel by the side of the knob indicate which burner you
are controlling.
Choose a suitable burner depending on the cookware diameter and capacity.
The pan diameter should be suitable for the burner power to make the most of the
burner’s high efficiency and not waste fuel.
A small pan does not boil more quickly on the large burner (fig. 8)
Attention: During use the hob becomes very hot under the cooking zones.
Keep children away.

CHOOSING SUITABLE SURROUNDINGS
The room where the gas appliance is to be installed must have a natural flow of air
so that the gas can burn (in compliance with the current laws in force).
The flow of air must come directly from one or more openings made in the outside
walls with a free area of at least 100 cm .
If the appliance does not have a no-flame flame device this opening must have an
area of at least 200 cm .
2
2
The openings should be near the floor and preferably on the side opposite the
exhaust for combustion products and must be so made that they cannot be blocked
from either the outside or the inside.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air can come from an
adjacent room which is ventilated as required, as long as it is not a bedroom or a
danger area (in compliance with the current laws in force). In this case, the kitchen
door must allow the passage of the air.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the
products of combustion in the gas appliance to be discharged (fig. 19).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may be used, attached to the external wall or
the window; the fan should have a capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate of 3-5
times the total volume of the kitchen (fig. 20).
The fan can only be installed if the room has suitable vents to allow air to enter, as
described under the heading “Choosing suitable surroundings” (in compliance with
the current laws in force).

IMPORTANT:
a Never attempt to turn the elbow “C” without having first slackened
off the relative lock nipple “A” or lock nut “A”.
a The seal “F” and the biconical gasket “B” (fig. 23-24) guarantees the
seal of the gas connection. It is recommended that they be replaced
whenever they shown even the slightest deformation or
imperfection.
a After connecting to the mains, check that the couplings are correctly
sealed, using soapy solution, but never a naked flame.
a The connection with rigid metal pipes should not cause stresses to
the hob base.
a If using flexible metal pipes, make sure thay are not squashed, and
do not come into contact with moving parts.
a Any flexible pipes must be so installed as to be easily enspected
along their whole length. They must be changed before the expiry
date (printed on the pipe itself) and not excees 2 metres in length.

< The power point must be connected to a suitable earth wiring, in conformity to
current safety regulations.
< If the hob is supplied without a power supply plug and you are not connecting
the appliance directly to the mains, a standardized plug suitable for the load
must be fitted.
< The colours of the wires in the hob power cable may not correspond with the
colours marked on the terminals of your electrical plug. The plug should always
be wired as follows:
- connect the green/yellow wire to the terminal marked with the letter E or
PE or the earth symbol or coloured green/yellow;
- connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured
black;
- connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
< It is possible to connect the appliance directly to the mains supply by means of
a heavy duty switch with 3 mm minimum distance between the contacts.
< The power supply cord must not touch against any hot surfaces and must be
placed so that its temperature does not excees 75°C at any point along its
length.
< After having installed the appliance, the power switch or power plug must
always be in a accessible position.
Note: For connections to the mains power supply, never use adaptors,
reductions or multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire.
23
In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring
system or if the power plug is not suitable for the type of power point available, it is
recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution.
The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables
on the power point match the appliance’s power rating.
IMPORTANT:
< Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsability for any inconvenience
caused by failure to comply with this rule.
< If the power supply cable is damaged it must be substituted by a
suitable cable available in the after sales service.
< Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the
appliance, it must be disconnected from the mains.
REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
Use the same type of power supply cable.
This cable must be connected to the terminal block following the diagram in figure
