THE MANUFACTURER

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Please read this instruction handbook carefully before installing and using the appliance.

This handbook must be kept in easy reach of the appliance for future consultation. If this appliance

is sold or transferred to another user, please give this handbook to the new user so that they can

learn how to use it correctly and be aware of the various warnings

This is a Class 3 appliance designed home use.

This appliance complies with the following Directives: EEC 2009/142/CE (Gas) EEC 2004/108/CE (Electromagnetic Compatibility) EEC 2006/95/CE (Low Voltage) EEC 89/109 (Contact with foods)

- The appliance must be installed by a skilled and qualified installer, in conformity with statutory legislation.

- This appliance is designed for use by adults.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced or impaired physical or mental capabilities, or persons lacking experience and awareness, unless they are supervised or taught how to use the appliance by a responsible carer.

- Do not allow children to play with the appliance.

- Before powering the appliance, ensure that it is properly adjusted for the type of gas available (see “installation”).

- Before carrying out maintenance or cleaning operations, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool.

- Ensure air is able to circulate around gas appliances. Insufficient ventilation will lead to depletion of the oxygen in the air in the place of installation.

- In case of intense or prolonged use of the appliance, it may be necessary to increase ventilation, for example by opening a window or increasing the power of extractor fans, if present.

- Combustion products must be expelled from the place of installation through an extractor hood or extractor fan (see “Installation”).

- For any replacements or alterations that may be required, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre and insist on the use of original spare parts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

THE OPERATIONS INDICATED BELOW MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY, IN

CONFORMITY WITH STATUTORY LEGISLATION.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR INJURY TO PERSONS OR ANIMALS OR DAMAGE

INSTALLATION

Installing the hob

The appliance is designed to be built-in to a heat-resistant kitchen unit. Kitchen unit side walls must be able to withstand temperatures of up to 75°C higher than room temperature, in accordance with European regulations. It is permissible to install the appliance next to a kitchen cabinet extending above the worktop on one side only, either to the right or left. Any adjacent cabinet must be no less than 50 mm from the edge of the hob. The appliance must not be installed near inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloths, etc. Cut an opening in the top of the kitchen unit observing the dimensions shown in fig. 1, maintaining a distance of at least 50 mm between the edge of the appliance and adjacent walls.

If the hob is to be installed beneath a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet, ensure there is a minimum clearance of 760 mm between the worktop and the underside of the cabinet. It is good practice to isolate the appliance from the cupboard below in the kitchen unit by means of a separator, leaving a well space of at least 10 mm in depth. (fig. 2). If the hob is installed over an oven, precautions must be taken to guarantee installation in accordance accident prevention standards. Pay particular attention to the position of the electric cable and gas supply hose: they must not touch any hot parts of the oven. Moreover, if the hob is installed over an oven without a forced cooling system, to ensure adequate ventilation air vents must be provided with lower intake surface area of at least 200 cm of at least 60 cm2.

Fixing the hob

Each hob is supplied with a special gasket and a set of brackets to be used for securing it to the worktop.

and upper outlet surface area

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

To install the hob, proceed as follows:

- Remove the pan supports and burners from the hob.

- Turn the appliance upside down and fit gasket (S) around the outer edge (fig. 3).

- Place the hob in the unit opening and fix it with screws (V) of brackets (G) (fig. 4).

Installation environment

This appliance is not equipped with a combustion products exhaustion system. Fumes must therefore be exhausted to outside the building by means of an extractor hood or extractor fan designed to start as soon as the appliance is set into operation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be naturally ventilated to allow correct gas combustion and room ventilation; the minimum volume of air required is 20 m3. Fresh air must be drawn through permanent vents in the walls communicating with the exterior. Ventilation may also be supplied via an adjacent room in compliance with standards in force. Wall vents must have a minimum surface area 200 cm2.

Gas Connection

Make sure that the appliance is set up for the available gas type (see the label under the appliance). Follow the instructions indicated in “Gas conversion and adjustment” if the appliance must be adapted for use with different gas types. The appliance must be connected to the gas supply by means of a rigid metal pipe, in compliance with standards in force, or a seamless flexible steel pipe in compliance with standards in force. Certain models are supplied with two unions: a cylindrical union (A) and a conical union (B) (fig.5). Choose the appropriate union according to the country of installation. The weight of the connecting pipe must not be borne by the gas train.

Once installation is complete, apply a soapy solution to the seal to check that it is gas tight.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Electrical Connection

The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains by qualified personnel and in conformity with statutory legislation. The voltage of the electric supply must correspond to the value indicated on the label affixed to the underside of the appliance. Make sure that the electric system has an efficient earth connection in compliance with regulations and legislation. This appliance must be earthed.

IMPORTANT: if the household electrical system does not meet specifications or does not have an efficient earth connection, the appliance will not operate.

If the appliance is not fitted with a plug, connect a standard plug to the power cable. If the appliance is to be wired directly to the mains supply, a disconnect device must be interposed having a sufficient contact gap to allow complete isolation also in category III surge conditions, in accordance with installation regulations. In case of a power failure, the appliance will not operate and the burners cannot be lit using matches or external igniters. However, the appliance can continue to operate correctly if the power cord is connected to an uninterruptible power supply. In this case, operation is normal.

GAS CONVERSION AND ADJUSTMENTS

If the appliance is prearranged for a type of gas different from the available type, the burner nozzles must be changed and the control card must be set up with the parameters relative to the new configuration.

Changing the nozzles

Choose the required nozzles with reference to the following “Technical Specifications” table. Proceed as follows:

- Remove the pan stands and burners from the hob.

- Unscrew nozzles U (fig.6) and U1/U2 (fig.7) using a socket spanner (L), and replace with the correct nozzle for the available gas type.

- Secure the nozzle without over-tightening.
