GB
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).
The appliance must be installed by a qualified person
according to the instructions provided. Incorrect
installation may damage property or cause harm to
people or animals.
This unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Stancards Codes Of Practice: B.S.6172 / B.S.5440,
Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:

Intensive or prolonged use of the appliance could
mean that extra aeration is needed, such as the
opening of a window or a more powerful fan.

The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner
or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower
room.
The furniture standing next to the unit, that is higher
than the working boards,
must be placed at least
600 mm from the edge of the board.
The minimum distance combustible material can be
fitted above the hob in line with the edges of the
hob is 420mm. If is fitted below 420mm a space of
50mm must be allowed from the edges of the hob.
The minimum distance combustible material
kitchen units can be fitted directly above the hob is

The dimensions of the room for the furniture must
be those indicated in the figures. Fixing hooks are
provided which allow to place the hob plate on

Fitting the appliance
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units
which are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The
wall in direct contact with the back panel of the cooker
must be made of non-flammable material. During
operation the back panel of the cooker could reach a
temperature of 50°C above room temperature. For
proper installation of the cooker, the following
precautions must be taken:

Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop
GB
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
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.
Use the clamps contained in the "accessory kit."
In the event the cooktop is not installed above a
built-in oven, a wood panel must be inserted as
insulation. This panel must be placed at least 20
mm from the bottom of the cooktop itself.
Ventilation
When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven, the
oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the
case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a
space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back (see
picture).
45 mm.
560 mm.
The hob can only be installed above built-in
ovens provided with cooling ventilation.
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.
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
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 cooktop should be connected to the gas supply
by an authorized installer. During installation of this
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to
isolate the supply from the appliance for the
convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing.
Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid
gas tanks must be carried out according to the safety
standards currently in force, and only after it is
ascertained that it is suitable for the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
section entitled, Adapting the Cooktop for Different
Types of Gas. If the cooktop is to be connected to
tanks containing liquid gas, use pressure regulators
that comply with current safety standards.
To insure that the appliance operates safety, the gas
is regulated correctly and your appliance lasts over
time, make sure that gas pressure levels comply with
the indications given in Table 1, Nozzle and Burner
Specifications.
Adapting the Cooktop for Different Types of Gas
To adapt the cooktop to a different type of gas than
that for which it was designed, (see the sticker under
the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles must
be changed, as follows:
1. Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out
of the cooktop.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench
and replace them with those for the new type of
gas. (See table 1, Burner and Nozzle
Specifications).
3. Reassemble the parts following the instructions in
reverse order.
4. On completing the operation, replace the old rating
label with the one showing the new type of gas; the
sticker is available from our Service Centres.
Gas Connection to Non-flexible
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such
a way as to not create any stress points at any part of
the appliance.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped
connector and a gasket for the attachment to the gas
supply. Should this connector have to be turned, the
gasket must be replaced (supplied with the
appliance).
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a
threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe.
Gas Connection to Flexible Steel Pipe
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a
threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe.
Only use pipes, tubes and gaskets that comply with
current safety codes. The maximum length of the
flexible pipes m
connection has been made, ensure that the flexible
metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not
crushed.
Check the Seal
Once the appliance has been installed, make sure
all the connections are properly sealed, using a soapy
water solution. Never use a flame.

Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner
The burners do not need a primary air regulator.
Minimum Regulation
1. Turn the gas valve to minimum.
2. Remove the knob
and turn the regulator
screw (positioned either
on the side of the top or
inside the shaft)
clockwise until the flame
becomes small but
regular.
3. Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly
high to low, the flame does not go out.
4. In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the
security device (thermocouple) when the gas
supply is set at minimum, increase the minimum
supply levels using the regulator screw.
In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must
be fully screwed in (clockwise).
Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing
wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the
by-pass.
