Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas
supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current
national regulations. Before carrying out the connection,
make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply
you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph Adapting to
different types of gas.
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.
Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in Table 1 (Burner and nozzle
specifications). This will ensure the safe operation and
longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.

cooling ventilation system.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than
default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of
the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should
be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their
seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see
table 1 Burner and nozzle characteristics).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in
the reverse order.

Does not require adjusting.
Setting the burners to minimum:
1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment screw,
which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the
flame is small but steady.
3. Having adjusted the flame to the required low setting,
while the burner is alight, quickly change the position of
the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame does not go out.
4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple)
fitted. If the device fails to work when the burners are
set to the low flame setting, increase this low flame
setting using the adjusting screw.
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals
on the by-passes using sealing wax or a similar
substance.
If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation
screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.
Stickers are available from any of our Service Centres.
Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary
slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable
pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe (in order
to comply with current national regulations).
