OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force.

USING THE BURNERS

The flame symbols printed on the side of the control knobs indicate the
correspondence between the knob and the flame size on the burner.

TURNING ON THE BURNERS

Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to

the maximum position (large flame, fig. 1)
and press the knob.

Once the burner has lit, keep the knob pressed for

about 6 seconds.

USING THE BURNERS

In order to obtain the maximum efficiency without
waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pan is
suitable for the burner potential (see the following
table) to avoid the flame reaching out past the pan
(fig. 2).

Use the maximum flame to quickly make liquids reach boiling point, and the
reduced flame to heat food or maintain boiling. To reduce gas consumption
and maximise the efficiency of the hob always cook with lids on pans. All of the
operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones,
never between the maximum position and ‘off.’

The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing
position. If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches,
setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1).

NOTICE

- When you are no longer using the hob, always
check that the knobs are in the off position
(see fig.1).

- If the flame should blow out accidentally, the
safety valve will automatically stop the gas
supply after a few seconds. To restore
operation, set the knob to the lighting point
(large flame, fig. 1) and press.

- While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as these substances can
catch fire when overheated.

- Do not use sprays near the appliance when in operation.

- Do not place unstable or deformed pans on the burner, so as to prevent them
from overturning or overflowing.

- Make sure that pan handles are placed appropriately to avoid knocking the pans
off from the hob.

- When the burner is started up, check that the flame is regular, and before taking
pans away, always lower the flame or put it out.

INSTALLING THE HOB

The appliance is designed to be installed into heat-resistant furniture. The walls of
the furniture must be able to withstand a temperature of 75°C.

The equipment must not be installed near inflammable materials, such as curtains,
cloths,etc.

Make a hole in the worktop of the dimensions indicated in the “Installation
Dimensions” (Pg. 20-21) respecting a minimum distance of at least 50mm from the
rear edge of the hob and 100mm of the adjacent side walls.

Any wall unit or extractor over the hob must be placed

If the hob is going to be installed on the top of an oven, precautions must be
taken to guarantee an installation in accordance with current accident prevention
standards. Pay particular attention to the position of the electric cable and gas pipe:
they must not touch any hot parts of the oven.

Moreover, if the hob is going to be installed on the top of a built in oven without
forced cooling ventilation, proper air vents must be installed to guarantee an
adequate ventilation, with the lower air entering with a cross section of at least
180cm

2

, and the higher air exiting with a cross section of at least 120cm2.

FASTENING THE HOB

Every hob is equipped with a special seal (‘S’ fig 5).
A set of fixing clips are also supplied for securing
the hob to the worktop (fig 6).

INSTALLATION ROOM

This appliance is not provided with a device for exhausting the products of
combustion. Regarding room ventilation rules where appliance is installed make
reference to the legislation, in conformity with the local regulations.

The room containing the hob should have an air supply in accordance with BS
5440: Part 2.

- All rooms require an openable window, or equivalent and some rooms will require
a permanent vent a well.

- For room volumes up to 5m

3

an air vent of 100cm2 is required.

- For room volumes between 5m

3

and 10m3 an air vent of 50cm2 is required.

- If the room is greater than 5m

3

and has a door that opens directly to the outside,

then no air vent is required.

If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room BS 5440: Part 2 should
be consulted to determine the air vent requirements.

position. If this is not the case, it is necessary to adjust the lowest flame setting as
follows:

- Ignite the burner.

- Turn the tap anti-clockwise to the minimum position (small flame).

- Remove the knob from the tap shaft.

- Place a flat-tip screwdriver on the by-pass screw (F, fig. 9) and adjust for the
correct level.

For G30 (LPG) the by-pass screw must be adjusted clockwise until completely
tightened on each gas tap.

MAINTENANCE

Short title or reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to
establish compliance with the above requirements.

The performance of each individual burner is calculated according to standard EN
30-2-1 (2015). The total efficiency of the hob is calculated according to the EU
Regulation 66/2014 Par. 2.2. The efficiency is calculated only for the burners with a
nominal capacity exceeding 1,16 KW (EN 30-2-1 (2015).

ENERGY SAVING TIPS:

- Use pans with a flat base

- Use a suitable size pan according to the size of the zone.

- Use pans with lids, minimize the amount of liquid or fat, when liquid starts
boiling, reduce the setting.
