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.
Inserting the cabinet
4
First make all connections. Then lay the strip of putty along the edge of the cut-out and
set the hob on it. Tighten the fastening hooks, screwing them carefully. Remove excess
putty.

Important
These are "Y" appliances in terms of fire protection. They can be installed built-in even near wooden walls higher than the worktop in which they
are installed as long as there is a minimum distance from the edge of the appliance equal to: 50 mm. for the side wall, 30
mm. for the rear wall and at least 700 mm from wall cabinets hung over the hob.
Connection to the gas pipeline
There are two ways of making the connection to the gas
pipeline:
A) Connect the gas hob using a dia. 12 mm rigid copper tube as illustrated in figure 3. To
guarantee a proper
seal insert the elastomer seal provided with the appliance.
B) Connect the hob using a solid wall flexible steel tube.
Here, too, you must insert the seal that is furnished in order to ensure a proper seal. We also
recommend
compliance with standards regarding gas-fired appliances.
Check for leaks after making the gas connection.
Room ventilation
Make sure there are permanent openings to the outdoors in the room where the appliance is installed or vent ducts that permit a proper flow of air.
All openings that are made must:
1) have a minimum 100 cm2 cross-section area;
2) be designed so that they cannot be blocked from the outside or the inside;
3) be pro tected so that their ventilation passage is not reduced in size;
4) be high enough above floor level to prevent interference with combustion exhaust.
When openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room this room must be directly vented and, in addition, must not be:
1) a bedroom
2) a public room in the building
5
3) a room where there is a fire hazard
Before testing the appliance check that the room where the vent opening is made is not in depression due to operation of another appliance and
that ventilation between the two rooms is guaranteed by permanent and unimpeded openings such as increased
gaps between door and floor. Products of combustion must be exhausted by a hood which must, in its turn, discharge into a stack, chimney or
directly to the exterior.
Access to the hob
Proceed as follows to access the box that contains operating components:
• remove the grillplates, caps and flametamers from the burners;
• pull the knobs off from their pins;
• unscrew the screws that fasten the burners to the hob;
• lift the hob.
Replacing injectors
NOTE: All products supplied from the factory are set up for methane gas.
Proceed as follows to change injectors when other gases are used:
1 - remove the grillplates and burners;
2 - remove the injectors by unscrewing them and replace them with injectors suitable for the gas being used. Make sure they are marked as
indicated in the table;
3 - after replacing the injectors check that they are perfectly sealed using a soap and water solution (dry them well before putting the burners back
in place);
4 - reinstall burners and grillplates;
5 - these burners do not require adjustment of air supply;
6 - replace the set-up label supplied in the package of accessories.
Warning
Always put the proper adhesive label (supplied as an accessory with the nozzles) in the
space on the identification plate when transforming the appliance from one type of gas to
another. When the appliance operates with LPG (G30 or G31) the adjustment screw must
be tightened all the way in. These appliances are supplied as category II 2H3+ devices.
Replacing Dual burner injectors:
The burner is equipped with two injectors to independently supply the burner’s inner and outer ring.
6
Replace the central ring injector as described above. Proceed as follows to replace the outer ring cock:
1 – Unscrew the two screws that clamp plate A in place
2 – Remove injector B,
3 – Correctly screw in the injector and refasten the plate in place.
Adjusting minimum
- Remove the knobs (removable because they are snap-in)
- Turn on the burners and adjust minimum by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the flame and counter-clockwise to increase the flame. The adjustment
screwdriver is furnished in the kit of accessories. The minimum adjustment screw in cocks with safety valve
(fig. 6) is accessible from the left slot made in the cock passage hole in the cooktop.
Electrical connection
The connection must be made by qualified personnel according to current standards and
according to the rules of the trade.
• Make sure grid voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the identification plate on the bottom of the hob. Make sure the electrical system,
meter, fuses, switch, plug and outlet are correctly sized for the current absorption rate of the hob.
• Fit a standard plug to the cable and connect it to a suitable power outlet. The yellow/green cable must be used to make the ground connection.
When installation is terminated the outlet must be accessible in order to be able to disconnect the hob from the electric grid when performing
cleaning and maintenance. When the connection is permanent then install a multi-pole switch between the appliance
and the electric grid. This switch must meet current regulations and have a minimum 3 mm gap between contacts.
• The law requires the hob to be connected to an efficient ground system. The cable's ground conductor is coloured yellow/green and must never
be interrupted. Make sure the ground system is efficient before making electrical connections.
• Franke S.p.A. declines all responsibility for any damage to persons or property caused by failure to comply with these standards.
