Installation

! Before operating your new appliance please read GB this instruction booklet carefully. It contains

important information concerning the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

!Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.

!The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided.

!Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be performed after the cooker has been disconnected from the electricity supply.

Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, according to current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be ventilated adequately so as to provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of air must not be lower than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power).

The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2 and should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial obstruction (see figure A).

These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum of 200 cm2 - whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

! After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or increase the speed of any fans used.

Disposing of combustion fumes

The disposal of combustion fumes should be guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric fan that begins to operate automatically every time the appliance is switched on (see figure).

Fumes channelled

Fumes channelled through

straight outside

a chimney or a branched

flue system (reserved for

cooking appliances)

! The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape easily.

LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.

Positioning and levelling

!It is possible to install the appliance alongside cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.

!Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heatresistant material (T 90°C).

To install the appliance correctly:

•Place it in the kitchen, dining room or the bed-sit (not in the bathroom).

•If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be installed at least 600 mm away from them.

•If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet, there must be a minimum distance of 420 mm between this cabinet and the top of the hob.

This distance should be increased to 700 mm if the wall cabinets are flammable (see figure).

•Any hoods must be installed according to the instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.

Levelling

If it is necessary to level the appliance, screw the adjustable feet into the places provided on each corner of the base of the cooker (see figure).

The legs* fit into the slots on the underside of the base of the cooker.

Electrical connection

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the appliance data plate (see Technical data table).

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current national legislation (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must be positioned so that it does not come into contact with temperatures higher than 50°C at any point.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that:

•The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

•The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.

* Only available in certain models

	• The voltage is in the range between the values	GB
	indicated on the data plate.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

!The cable must not be bent or compressed.

!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.

!The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel hose, in accordance with current national legislation and after making sure that the appliance is suited to the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations. To make connection easier, the gas supply may be turned sideways*: reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the gasket that is supplied with the appliance.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in the Table of burner and nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure the safe operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose

Make sure that the hose complies with current national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose must measure: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm for methane gas supply.

Once the connection has been performed, make sure that the hose:

•Does not come into contact with any parts that reach temperatures of over 50°C.

•Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it is not kinked or bent.

•Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners or moving parts and that it is not compressed.

Start-up and use

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic

GB	film from the sides of the appliance.
	Using the hob
	Lighting the burners

For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing the strength of the flame for the relevant burner.

To light one of the burners on the hob:

1.Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.

2.Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame setting E.

3.Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum setting C, the maximum setting E or any position in

between the two.

X

C

If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting device* (see figure; C), press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction, towards the minimum flame setting, until the burner is lit. The burner

may be extinguished when the knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation, holding the knob down for a longer period of time.

!Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device (X), you must hold the control knob in for about 3-7 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

!If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.

Flame adjustment according to levels

the burner flame intensity can be adjusted with the knob according to 6 power levels, from maximum to minimum with 4 intermediate positions:

a click will indicate the change from one level to another when turning the knob. The system guarantees a more precise adjustment, allows to replicate the flame intensity and to identify easily the preferred level for different cooking operations.

To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the stop position •.

WARNING! The glass lid can break in if it is heated up. Turn off all the burners and the electric plates before closing the lid.*

Practical advice on using the burners

For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.

! On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember that this should be used only for the auxiliary burner when you use casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.

Using the oven

!The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

!Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.
