!Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.

!Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

!Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

!Theappliancemustbeinstalledbyaqualifiedprofessionalaccordingtothe instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

!This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with current national regulations. The following requirements must be observed:

• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.

Fitting the appliance

The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:

•Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 200 mm from the edge of the hob.

•Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manualsandataminimumdistanceof650mmfromthehob(seefigure).

•Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 420 mm from the hob (see figure).

										If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet,
										the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700
650mm min.			600mm min.				420mm min.			mm above the hob.

•Theinstallationcavityshouldhavethedimensionsindicatedinthefigure.

Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we recommend you use all the hooks provided.

The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.

•Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessitate supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or increasing the power of the air intake system (if present).

•Liquidpetroleumgassinkstothefloorasitisheavierthanair.Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources(ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Before the installation remove the grids and burners from the hob and turn it upside down, making sure you don’t damage the thermocouples and spark plugs.

Apply the seals that come with the appliance along the outer edges of the hob to prevent any passage of air, humidity and water (see Figure).

For proper application make sure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry and free of any grease/oil.

560

Where a hob is installed above an oven without a forced ventilation cooling system, adequate ventilation must be provided inside the cabinet by means of air holes through which air can pass (see figure).

Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate.

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 electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting 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 on the data plate.

•the voltage is in the range between the values 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.

GB

!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

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

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 indicatedinTable1(“Burnerandnozzlespecifications”).Thiswillensurethe safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)

! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance.

There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting(seal provided with appliance).The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

Thegassupplypipefittingisathreaded1/2gascylindricalmaleattachment.

These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that theflexiblemetalpipedoesnottouchanymovingpartsandisnotcompressed.

! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.

Checking the tightness of the connection

! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

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.

4.Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. Sticker are available from any of our Service Centres.

Replacing the nozzles on separate “double flame “ burners

1.Remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings. The burner consists of 2 separate parts (see figure);

2.Unscrew the burers with a 7 mm wrench spanner. The internal burner has a nozzle, the external burner has two (of the same size). Replace the nozzle with models suited to the new type of gas (see table 1).

GB 3. Replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.

Replacing the Triple ring burner nozzles

1.Remove the pan supports and lift the burners out of their housing. The burner consists of two separate parts (see pictures).

2.Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner. Replace the nozzles withmodelsthatareconfiguredforusewiththenewtypeofgas(seeTable

1). The two nozzles have the same hole diameter.

3.Replace all the components by completing the above operations in reverse order.

•Adjusting the burners’ primary air Does not require adjusting.

•Setting the burners to minimum

1.Turn the tap to the low flame position;

2.Removetheknobandadjusttheadjustment

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.Someapplianceshaveasafetydevice(thermocouple)fitted.Ifthedevice 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).

GB Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.

Gas burners

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the corresponding control knob:

●Off

Maximum

Minimum

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum setting.

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up.

When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise towards the maximum setting.

! Ifaflameisaccidentallyextinguished,turnoffthecontrolknobandwaitfor at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops

(when reaches the “●” position).

The “separate double flame” burner*

This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either together or separately.

Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a very high power which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.

Moreoverthedoubleflamecrownprovidesamoreuniformdistributionofheat on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum.

To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its full potential, never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the same time.

Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the internal burner.

There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate double flame”

burners.
The knob marked by the symbol		operates the external burner;
The knob marked by the symbol		operates the internal burner.

To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way and turn it

anti-clockwise to the high setting .

The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the knob is pressed in.

Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.

The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as follows:

●Off

Maximum

Minimum

*Only available on certain models.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops

(when reaches the “●” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

•Use appropriate cookware for each burner(see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

•When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

! On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember that this should be usedonlyfortheDoubleflameinternal(DCDRinternal)burnerwhenyouuse casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner and Nozzle Specifications”.

•For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are correctly fitted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.

•Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on the pan support grid.

•Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge of the hob.

The more variable aspect in terms of pan stability can often be the pan itself, (or the positioning of that pan during use).

Well balanced pans, with flat bases that

are placed centrally over the burner, with the pan handles aligned with one of the support fingers obviously offer the

greatest stability.
