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

 The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the 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 British Standard Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. 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.

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.

Fitting the appliance

 Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a

wooden panel must be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 mm from the lower part of the hob.

Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

single pole switch must be placed between the appliance and the mains, with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm in compliance with current safety codes (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the switch). The power supply cord must be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature in excess of 50°C above room temperature at any point.

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

Before making the actual connection, make sure that:

 The fuse and electrical system can withstand the

load required by the appliance;

 That the electrical supply system is equiped with

an efficient earth hook-up according to the norms and regulations prescribed by law;

 That the plug or switch is easily accessible.

 The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a cooling ventilation system.

Electrical connection

The cooktops fitted with a tripolar electrical supply cord are designed to be be used with alternating current according to the indications on the rating plate located under the cooktop. The earthing wire can be identified by its yellow-green colour. In the case of installation over a built-in electric oven, the electrical connections for the cooktop and oven should be independent, not only for safety purposes, but also to facilitate removal of one or both in the future.

Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop

Fit the supply cord with a standard plug for the demand rate indicated on the rating plate or connect it directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the Green & Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black.

 The cable must not be bent or compressed.

 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 indicated in Table 1 (Burner and nozzle specifications). This will ensure the 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

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. 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 the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.



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).

In the case of the Mini WOK burner, use a spanner with a 7 mm opening

to unscrew the nozzle (see figure).

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.

 Adjusting the burners primary air :

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).
