INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

The following information is intended for qualified and competant persons only who will
ensure that your appliance is installed correctly. All current legislation concerning the in­stallation of Gas appliances must be observed by the installer*
* For the U.K. only - By law, the gas installation/commissioning must be carried out by a
«Corgi», registered installer.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable regulations and should only be
used in well-ventilated locations. Before using this appliance carefully study the instruction book.

Suitable location

A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the area in which it is
installed. For this reason you should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all natu­ral air passages open or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive
and prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such the opening of a
window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if you have one.
If a hood cannot be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or win­dow as long there are air vents in the area.
The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5
times every hour. The installer should follow the relavant national standards.

If a hob of 60 cm is fitted above an oven which is not equipped with fan cooling system
it is recommended that openings are created within the built in furniture to ensure cor­rect air circulation.
The size of these openings must be at least 300 cm

2

and placed as shown in fig. 4.

When a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven, the latter must be fan cooled.

REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and then remo­ve the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted as in
Fig. 9. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise
increases the flow – Use this adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm
in length and then replace the control knob.

When the gas supply available is LPG (Bottle gas)- the screw to set the idle flame must
be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.

SETTING OF THE GAS BURNERS

When the jets have been changed it is necessary to set the correct air gap by keeping
to the setting “X” as shown in the table “ gas consumption” fig 7. Warning the value of ‘
X ‘ setting varies in relation to the size of gas burner and type of gas chosen.
A good flame must be of medium length (fig.8B), excessive air will cause the flame to
be short and with sharp colour (fig.8C): in this case it is necessary to extend out the tu­be for the air setting from the burner body, if there is insufficient air the flame will ap­pear weak and long (fig. 8A): in this case push the tube of the air setting back into the
burner body. To adjust the air setting tube loosen the retaining screw.
Once the air is correctly set secure the screw over the tube ( fig. 7).

USE OF HOB

USER INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic
cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be danger­ous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from
improper use.

USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the
control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before
lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the

★

symbol.

• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the

★

symbol.

The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being
pressed.

If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat
the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is acci­dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be
taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.

ATTENTION:

Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur-

ner caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVICE

For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as
follows. See fig. pag. 1-2.

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not
overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.

WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi­tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.

If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them.

Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug from
the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.
When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water
or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution.
Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil.
Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid
or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnisched or stain­less steel sections.
The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their original shine, use a
household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry the burners and replace.

It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.

AFTERCARE

Before calling out a Service Engineer please check the following:

— that the plug is correctly inserted and fused;
— that the gas supply is not faulty.
If the fault cannot be identified:
switch off the appliance — do not tamper with it — call the Aftercare Service Centre.

Chromed grids and burners

Chromed grids and burners have the tendency to dark with the use.
This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn’t jeopardize absolutely the
functionality of the hob.
In anycase from our after sales service centre the spare parts are available.

The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any inaccuracy resulting from printing or transcript errors con­tained in this brochure. We reserve the right to carry out modifications to products as required, including
the interests of consumption, without prejiudice to the characteristics relating to safety or function.
