Warnings:

This appliance is designed to be built into a housing unit.

♦ The installation class is type 3 for gas and type Y for electric parts. ♦ Housing units must be designed to withstand temperatures of up to 90°C or over. ♦ For correct installation, refer to the relevant paragraph and reference drawings. ♦ The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room in which it is installed.

Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation openings open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood with exhaust duct). In the case of intensive or prolonged use of the appliance it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation, for example, by opening a window, or more efficient ventilation, for example by increasing the hood speed.

This handbook is valid for several types of cooktop. Refer to the data plate on the back in order to identify the model that corresponds to your appliance. These initials, together with the instructions in the following paragraphs and the illustrations at the back of the manual (Fig 1) will show the particular composition of your appliance.

USING THE COOKTOP

Gas burners

The delivery of gas to the burners is controlled by the knobs shown in fig. 4 that in turn control the taps. The symbols, depending on the various versions, may be printed on the knobs or on the control panel. By moving the indicator to coincide with the printed symbols, the following adjustments can be made:

 Tap closed, no gas delivery

Maximum capacity, maximum gas delivery

 Minimum capacity, minimum gas delivery

Burner ignition

- Burners without safety valve

To light burners without electric ignition, or to light those with ignition during a power cut, place a naked flame next to the top of the burner, press the corresponding knob down and turn anti-clockwise until the symbol

coincides with the reference mark on the control panel.

For minimum gas delivery, turn the knob until the indicator points to the small flame.

The setting must always be positioned between the maximum and minimum, and never between the maximum setting and the off position.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob clockwise to the position “tap closed”

- Burners with electric ignition

 Models with ignition switch

To light one of the burners, press the ignition switch and turn the corresponding knob to the maximum delivery position (symbol

). Hold the switch down until the burner lights, then adjust the flame by

turning the knob to obtain the desired intensity.

 Models with ignition incorporated in the control knobs

These models are identified by the symbol  next to the symbol

 ( Maximum delivery).

To light one of the burners, press the knob down and turn it to the maximum delivery position, holding down until the burner lights. Next adjust the flame by turning the knob to obtain the desired intensity.

Note:

If the particular nature of the local gas supply makes it difficult to ignite the burners with the knob turned to the maximum setting, repeat the operation without a pan in position and with the knob turned to the minimum setting.

- Burners with safety valves

Some models are equipped with safety valves which automatically shut off the gas delivery in the event the burner should, for any reason, go out. To relight the burner, turn the knob to position O and repeat the ignition procedure explained in the following paragraphs.

 Using the burners

For models fitted with ignition incorporated in the knobs, turn the gas tap knob to the maximum delivery position, then press and hold down for about 4÷5 seconds. Release the knob and adjust the flame by turning the knob to the desired intensity.

For models fitted with ignition switch, turn the gas tap knob to the maximum delivery position, then press the ignition switch and the knob, holding down for about 4÷5 seconds. Then release the knob and adjust the flame by turning the knob to the desired intensity.

) 'Warning'

The ignition device must not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after this length of time the burner does not light, or if it goes out again accidentally, wait 1 minute before trying to ignite the burner again.

Choosing the right burner

The symbols stamped on the control panel (fig. 4) next to the knobs indicate which knob corresponds to which burner. To choose the most suitable burner, take into account the diameter of the pan as well as the pan capacity (see table). The diameter of the pan must be proportionate to the burner power in order to ensure high yield.

ADJUSTMENT TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS

If a different type of gas from the one indicated on the rating plate is used, the injectors must be replaced. If spare injectors are not supplied with the appliance, they are available from the After-sales service. For the choice of replacement injectors, refer to the injectors table. The injectors are identified by their diameter, which is expressed in hundredths of mm, stamped on the body of the injector itself.

Replacing the injectors

 Remove the grids and burner caps from the cooktop  Using a socket wrench, replace the injectors “J” (fig. 11) with the suitable ones for the gas used.  Replace the burners ( see fig. 13 )

The burners do non require primary air adjustment.

Adjustment of minimum setting

After replacing the injectors, light the burner and remove the knob. Turn the tap to the minimum setting and insert a screwdriver in the rod: tighten to reduce the flame, loosen to increase the flame. (fig. 11)

For gas G30/G31, tighten the adjustment screw fully

The flame must be small, uniform and regular all around the burner crown. Finally, check that the flame does not go out by rapidly turning the tap from the maximum setting to the minimum. For burners with a safety device, check that the flame slightly licks the thermocouple. Make sure that the adjustment is correct by leaving the burner alight for a few minutes. If it goes out, increase the minimum setting.
