Instructions for use

Installation

All the operations concerned with the installation
(electrical and gas connections, adaptation to type of
gas, necessary adjustments, etc.) must be carried out by
qualified technicians, in terms with the standards in force.
For specific instructions, kindly read the part reserved for
the installation technician.

Use

Gas burners (Fig. 1-3).

The ignition of the gas burner is carried out by putting a
small flame to the upper part holes of the burner, pressing
and rotating the corresponding knob in an anti-klockwise
manner, until the maximum position has coincided with
the marker. When the gas burner has been turned
on, adjust the flame according to need. The minimum
position is found at the end of the anticlockwise rotation
direction. In models with automatic ignition, operate the
knob as described above, pressing simultaneously, the
corresponding push button. For models with automatic/
simultaneous (with one hand) ignition, it is sufficient to
proceed as described above using the corresponding
knob. The electric spark between the ignition plug and
the burner provides the ignition of the burner itself.
After ignition, immediately release the push-button and
adjust the flame according to need. For models with a
thermoelectric safety system, the burner is ignited as in
the various cases described above, keeping the knob
fully pressed on the maximum position for approximately
3/5 seconds. After releasing the knob, make sure the
burner is actually lit.

N.B.:

- we recommend the use of pots and pans with a
diameter matching that of the burner, thus preventing
the flame from escaping from the bottom part and
surrounding the pot

- do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire

- do not use any tools for grill-cooking on Crystal hobs.
When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to
close the main gas pipe tap and/ or cylinder.

Important

a) on floors with thermoelectric protection do not keep

the ignite button pushed for more than 15 seconds.
If the burner has not ignited after 15 seconds, open
the door of the room and wait at least one minute
before making a further attempt.

b) on floors without protection, should the burner flame go

out close the corresponding gas cock and wait at least
one minute before making any attempt to ignite it.

Maintenance Gas/Electrical

Prior to any operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electrical system. For long-life to the equipment, a
general cleaning operation must take place periodically,
bearing in mind the following:

- the glass, steel and/or enamelled parts must be
cleaned with suitable non-abrasive or corrosive
products (found on the market). Avoid chlorine-base
products (bleach, etc.);

- avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the
working area (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).

- the wall baffle and the small covers (mobile parts of
the burner) must be washed frequently with boiling
water and detergent, taking care to remove every
possible encrustation. Dry carefully and check that
none of the burner holes is fully or partially clogged;

- the stainless steel grids of the working area, after
having been heated, take on a bluish tint which does
not deteriorate the quality. To bring colour back to its
original state, use a slightly abrasive product.

N.B. - Cleaning of the taps must be carried out by
qualified personnel, who must be consulted in case of
any functioning anomaly. Check periodically the state
of conservation of the flexible gas feed pipe. In case of
leakage, call immediately the qualified technicians for
its replacement.

DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS

Instructions for the installer

Installation

This appliance is not provided with a combu-stion
product discharge. It is recommended that it be
installed in sufficiently aerated places, in terms of the
laws in force. The quantity of air which is necessary for
combu-stion must not be below 2.0 m3/h for each kW of
installed power. See table of burner power.

Positioning (Fig. 2)

The appliance can be fitted into a working area
as illustrated on the corresponding figure. Before
positioning the hob, fit the seal X around the entire
periphery of the hole cut in the worktop.

Gas connection (Fig. 3)

Connect the appliance to the gas cylinder or to the
installation according to the prescribed standards
in force, and ensure beforehand, that the appliance
matches the type of gas available. Otherwise, see
“Adaptation to various types of gas”. Furthermore,
check that the feed pressure falls within the values
described on the table: “User chacteristics”.
Rigid/semi rigid metal connection Carry out the
connection with fittings and metal pipes (even flexible
pipes) so as to obtain counter stress the inner parts of
the appliance.

N.B. - when the installation has been carried out, check
the perfect sealing of the entire connection system, by
using a soapy solution.

Fig. 3

Electrical connection (Fig. 4)

Prior to carrying out the electrical connection, please
ensure that:

• the plant characteristics are such as to follow what is
indicated on the matrix plate placed at the bottom of
the working area;

• that the plant is fitted with an efficient earth connection,
following the standards and law provisions in force.
The earth connection is compulsory in terms of the
law.

Should there be no cable and/or plug on the
equipment, use suitable absorption material for the
working temperature as well, as indicated on the matrix
plate. Under no circumstance must the cable reach a
temperature above 50°C of the ambient tempera-ture.
If connecting directly to the mains power supply,
fit a multi-pole switch of a suitable size for the rated
capacity with a clearance distance which completely
disconnects the power line under overvoltage category
III conditions, consistently with the rules of installation
(the yellow/green earth wir must not be interrupted).
The plug or omnipolar switch must be easily reached
on the installed equipment.

To avoid all risk, if the power cable becomes damaged,

wok C3 only

it must only be replaced by the manufacturer,
by an authorised service centre, or by a qualified
electrician.

Adaptation to various types of gas (Fig. 5)

Should the appliance be pre-set for a different type of
gas than that available, proceed as follows:

• replace the injectors (Fig. 5) with the corresponding
type of gas to be used (see table “Uses
characteristics”).

• to adjust to the minimum, use a screwdriver on the
screw placed on the tap (Fig. 6) after turning the tap
to its minimum position. For LPG (butane/propane)
screw tight
