Instructions for the installer

2. POSITIONING OF HOB

The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so
must be carried out by a competent tradesman.
Installation can be carried out on various materials such as
masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as
they are heat resistant (T 90°C).
Never use silicone or other insulating products when installing the
appliance; use only the rubber gasket provided.

2.1. Attachment to support structure

Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the
top surface of the counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm
from the rear border. This appliance can therefore be mounted
against walls higher than the work surface on condition that a
certain distance “X” be kept between the appliance and the wall as
shown in the figure so as to avoid damage from overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate
flames and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.

Instructions for the installer

Accurately position the gasket provided all around the outer edge of
the hole in the top surface as shown in the figures below, pressing it
down so as to make it adhere properly. For measurements, refer to
the figure depending on the hob model to be installed, bearing in
mind that in both models the front and rear sides must skim the hole.
Secure the hob to the counter with brackets A (supplied). Carefully
trim any excess from border B of the gasket. The distances in the
following drawing refer to the hole on the inner side of the gasket.

In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a
separating panel has to be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum
distance of 10 mm between the bottom of the unit and the panel
surface. The panel has to be easily removable to allow access in
the event of technical service.

3. Electrical connection

Make sure that the voltage and capacity of the power line conform
to the data shown on the plate located under the casing. Do not

remove this plate for any reason.

The plug on the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must
be the same type and conform to the current electrical system
regulations. Check that the power line is adequately grounded.
On the power line, install an omnipolar cut-off device with contact
cut-off distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily
accessible position near the unit.
Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts.

If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable
must not be less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable), keeping in mind
that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground
wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only
H05RR-F cable or similar which has a maximum temperature
of 90°C. Any replacement needed should be carried out by a
specialised technician who should make the mains connections
according to the following diagram.

L = red
N = black

= yellow-green.

The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage to
persons or property caused by non-observance of the above

or with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by
standard regulations in force.
To facilitate connection, fitting A on the rear
of the appliance may be adjusted laterally.
For this purpose, loosen hexagon nut B,
turn fitting A to the desired position, and
retighten hexagon nut B. Use a soapy
solution to check for proper tightness.
Never use a free flame.
The hob has been inspected for LPG G30/G31 at a pressure of
28-37 mbar. For use with other types of gases, see Section “5.
ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS”. The gas intake
fitting is ½ gas external threaded (ISO 228-1).

Connection with a flexible steel hose:

Make the connection to the gas mains using a
continuous wall flexible steel pipewhose
specifications comply with the applicable standard.
Carefully screw the connector 3 to the appliance’s
gas connector 1 (1/2” thread ISO228-1), placing
the seal 2 between them.

Connection with a flexible steel hose with
conical fitting:

Make the connection to the gas mains using a
continuous wall flexible steel pipewhose
specifications comply with the applicable standard.
Carefully screw the connector 3 to the appliance’s
gas connector 1 (½” thread ISO228-1), placing the
seal 2 between them. Apply insulating material to
the thread ofthe connector 3, and then tighten the
flexible steel pipe 4 to the connector 3.
