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
NOTE: If the distance “A” between the wall cabinets is between 600 mm and
730 mm, the height “B” must be a minimum of 530 mm. If the distance “A”
between the wall cabinets is greater than the width of the hob, the height “B”
must be a minimum of 400 mm.
In case of installation of a hood above the hob, please refer to the hood
instructions fot the correct distance.
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

only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not
be observed.
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 socket spanner of the appropriate size, 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 nished, 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
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted, remove the knob
and proceed as follows:
Gas connection
! This operation must be performed by a qualied technician.
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 specications”). This will ensure the
safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efcient
energy consumption.
Attention! Before connection remove a transport plug from the connecting
hole of the cooker gas pipeline.
• The connection of the hob to the
gas pipe network or gas cylinder
must be made by means of a rigid
copper or steel pipe with ttings
complying with local regulations, or
by means of a continuous-surface stainless steel hose complying with local
regulations. Interpose gasket (B) in the elbow connection.The maximum
length of the hose is 2 m.
• FOR BELGIUM ONLY: It is necessary to replace the elbow connection
(A) on the appliance, with the one supplied (if present).
IMPORTANT: if a stainless steel hose is used, it must be installed so as
not to touch any mobile part of the furniture. It must pass through an
area where there are no obstructions and where it is possible to inspect
it on all its length.
2. Having adjusted the ame 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 ame does not go out.
3. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple) tted. If the device
fails to work when the burners are set to the low ame setting, increase
this low ame setting using the adjusting screw.
4. 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 nished, 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 tted to the
inlet pipe (in order to comply with current national regulations).

Precautions and tips
! 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 tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame alight to heat up.
Models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control
knob. If this is the case, the ignitor is present, but not the button. To light a
burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it
in the counter-clockwise direction to the “High” setting, keeping it pressed
in until the burner lights.
! If a ame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for
at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efciently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner
and Nozzle Specications”.
• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly tted 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 at bases that
are placed centrally over the burner,
with the pan handles aligned with one
of the support ngers obviously offer the
greatest stability.
