User’s instructions

Igniting the burners In these models the knob controls both ignition and the
safety device. Proceed as follows
to ignite the burners:

1) Turn the chosen knob.

2) Keep the knob strongly pressed in for 3/4 seconds to permit the spark to
light the gas
that exits from the flametamer and to permit the thermocouple to heat up.

3) Release the knob after about 3/4 seconds and adjust the flame as
desired, rotating

the knob anti-clockwise. Repeat points 1 and 2 if the flame does not remain on.

Symbols

Circle: valve off;
large flame + star: maximum flow rate;
small flame: minimum flow rate.

Use of Dual double-control burner

• The first knob on the left controls the outer ring on the burner

• The second knob on the left controls the inner ring on the same burner

• The two rings can be used individually or simultaneously to get maximum heating
power

• The appliance is also supplied standard with an adapter on the left grate over the Dual

A

burner to be used when using the smaller ring.

Using the burners

For greater efficiency and less gas consumption use pots and pans with the right diameters for the burners. Avoid having flames extending out
from underneath the pans (refer to the table).

Automatic safety valves

This safety device automatically closes the gas valve if the burner flame accidentally turns off due to drafts, liquids overflowing from pots or
momentary interruptions in the gas supply. The device takes effect approximately 30 seconds after the flame turns off.

Hob cleaning and maintenance

- All parts made of 18/10 stainless steel will remain just like new if they are cleaned with water and then carefully dried.

- To restore their original gloss they should be periodically cleaned using "Franke inox Creme" and "Franke microfibre cloth" available from your
retailer or from a Franke Service Center.

- Absolutely never use steel wool or pads, muriatic acid or any other products that can scratch or grind.

- Avoid leaving acid and alkaline substances on the cooktop or objects made of rusted iron.

• Burners or flametamers can be cleaned after removing them from the hob using hot soapy water and detergent. Then dry them with care. Make
sure gas passages are perfectly clean. These components can also be washed in a dishwasher

• Pan grillplates in the pan support section change in colour due to the action of heat.
To clean them proceed as with the burners or wash them in a dishwasher.

WARNING:

Use the special scraper to immediately remove any sheets of aluminum or melted plastic that may have dropped on the hob as well as any sugar
residue or remnants of foods with high sugar contents. This will prevent the possibility of harm to the hob.
Never use abrasive sponges or aggressive chemical detergents such as oven sprays or spot removers.

Installation

Installation and connection to the mains should be carried out in compliance with national laws in force.
The following paragraphs describe installation procedures both for the gas and for the electrical sections. These tasks must be performed
according to current standards and by qualified personnel: performance by inexpert persons can create dangers.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for harm to persons or property caused by failure to comply with these requirements.

Important

- The appliance must be installed by expert and qualified personnel according to current standards.

- Turn to a Franke Service Centre for all repairs and maintenance.

- Never use deformed or unstable pots and pans on the burners which could overflow or tip over.

- If the appliance has a cover make sure the burners are cool before closing the cover.

- Close the gas supply valve when the hob is not being used.
Franke S.p.A. declines all responsibility for harm to persons or property caused by failure to comply with standards. This appliance can only be
used for cooking. Any tampering with or modification to the appliance can be a source of danger. Make sure gas distribution
systems are as required before installing the appliance. The gas for which the hob is designed is indicated on the label on the bottom of the control
box. This appliance is not joined to a device for evacuating products of combustion and must be installed and hooked-up according to current
regulations. Special attention must be given to ventilation. The appliance may have hot parts during operation: keep children and the handicapped
distant. Use of gas-fired cooking appliances generates heat and humidity in the room where they are installed. Make sure the room is properly
ventilated.
Keep natural ventilation openings free and open or install a mechanical ventilation device (extraction hoods with exhaust ducts). Intense and

prolonged use of the appliance may require supplementary ventilation such as opening a window or
taking measures
for more efficient ventilation by, for example, increasing fan powers.

Preparing the cabinet

This booklet deals with a class 3 built-in hob.
Prepare the hole in the worktop according to the dimensions indicated in the illustration.
Make this hole in the most convenient position. Remember that the gas hose must not
come in contact with the walls of the oven if this is installed below the hob.
