The connection of the appliance should be performed in accordance with local and international
standards and regulations applicable. You can find the information related to appropriate gas types
and appropriate gas injectors on technical data table. If the pressure of used gas is different than
these values stated or not stable in your area, it may be required to assemble an available pressure
regulator on the gas inlet. It is certainly required to contact to the authorized service to make these
adjustments.

The points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly

If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose that is fixed on the gas inlet of appliance, it must be
fixed by a pipe collar as well. Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close
as possible to the gas source. The hose's permitted maximum length is 1.5m. The hose that brings
gas to the appliance must be changed once a year for your safety.

0

The hose must be kept clear from areas that may heat up to temperatures in excess of 90 C. The
hose must not be ruptured, bent or folded. It must be kept clear of sharp corners, moving things,
and should not be defective. Before assembly, it must be checked whether there is any production
defect.

As gas is turned on, all connection parts and hose must be checked with soapy water or leakage
fluids. Do not use naked flame to check gas leakage. All metal components used during gas
connection must be clear of rust. Also check the expiry dates of components to be used.

The points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly

To assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by threads, e.g. a nut), there are different
methods used in different countries. The most common parts are already supplied with your appliance.
Any other part can be supplied as spare part.

3.2. Gas connection

• Carefully trim away the excess sealing material “C” from around the appliance.

Important: If the appliance is to be installed above a cupboard or drawer it is absolutely

essential that you place a separator between the base of the appliance and the drawer unit.

Emptying of the Burned Gases from Environment

The cooking appliances that operate with gas, throw the burned gas wastes out directly to the
outside or through the cooker hoods that are connected to the a chimney that opens directly to the
outside. If it seems that it is not possible to install a cooker hood, it is required to set an electric fan
on the window or wall that has access to fresh air. This electric fan must have the capacity to change
the air of the kitchen environment 4-5 times of its own volume of air per hour.

During connections always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed, while rotating the counter-part.
Use spanners of appropriate size for safe connection. For all surfaces between different
components, always use the seals provided in the gas conversion kit. The seals used during
connection should also be approved to be used in gas connections. Do not use plumbing seals for
gas connections.

Remember that this appliance is ready to be connected to gas supply in the country for which it has
been produced. The main country of destination is marked on the rear cover of the appliance. If you
need to use it in another country, any of the connections in the figure below can be required.
In such a case, contact local authorities to learn the correct gas connection.

It is required to call the authorized service to be able to make the gas connections appropriately
and in compliance with safety standards.

ATTENTION! Surely do not use any match or lighter for control of gas leakage.

!

During the electric connection, follow the instructions stated in the user manual.

• The earthing cable must be connected to the earth terminal

• The manufacturer declares that it has no responsibility against any kind of damages and losses
that are caused by improper connections that are performed by unauthorized people.

Caution: The following procedures must be undertaken by authorized service people.

Your appliance is adjusted to be operated with LPG/NG gas. The gas burners can be adapted to
different types of gas, by replacing the corresponding injectors and adjusting minimum flame length
suitable to the gas in use. For this purpose, following steps should be performed:

Changing injectors:

• Cut off the main gas supply and unplug from the electric mains.

• Remove the burner cap and the adapter(Figure 6).

• Unscrew the injectors. For this, use a 7mm spanner(Figure 7).

• Replace the injector with the ones from the gas conversion kit, with corresponding diameters
suitable to the type of gas that is going to be used, according to the information chart (which is
also supplied in the gas conversion kit).

The supply cord should be kept away from hot parts of appliance. Otherwise, the cord may be

• You have to ensure the power cord with suitable insulation to be connected to the power source
during the connection. If there is no appropriate earthed electric outlet in accordance with
regulations in the place where the appliance to be installed, contact to our authorized service. The
earthed electric outlet must be close to the appliance.

• Do not use an extension cord

• The power cord must not touch to the hot surface of the product.

• In case the cord is damaged, contact Authorized Service to have it changed.

• Any wrong electric connection may damage your appliance, as well as endangering your safety,
rendering your guarantee invalid.

• The appliance is adjusted for 230V 50Hz electricity. If the mains electricity is different contact
your authorized service.

Adjusting the reduced flame position:

The flame length in the minimum position is adjusted with a flat screw located on the valve. For
valves with flame failure device, the screw is located on the side of the valve spindle(Figure 8-9). For
valves without flame failure device, the screw is located inside the valve spindle(Figure 10). For
easier reduced flame adjustment, it is advised to remove the control panel (and microswitch, if
present) during adjustment.

To determine the minimum position, ignite the burners and leave them on in minimum position.
Remove the with the help of a small screwdriver fasten or loosen the bypass screw around 90
angular degrees. When the flame has a length of at least 4mm, the gas is well distributed. Make
sure that the flame does not die out when passing from the maximum position to the minimum
position. Create an artificial wind with your hand toward the flame to see if the flames are stable.

Changing the gas inlet:

For some countries, the gas inlet type can be different for NG/LPG gases. In such a case, remove the

current connection components and nuts (if any) and connect the new gas supply accordingly. In all
conditions, all components used in gas connections should be approved by local and/or
international authorities. In all gas connections, refer to the “Assembly of gas supply and leakage
check” clause explained before.

4.1 Use of gas burners

Ignition of the burners

To determine which knob controls which burner, check the position symbol above the knob.

•

If your appliance is not equipped with any ignition aid or in case there is a failure in the electric
network, follow the procedures listed below:

To ignite one of the burners, press and turn its knob counter-clockwise so that the knob is in
maximum position, approach a match, taper or another manual aid to its upper circumference.
Move the ignition source away as soon as you see a stable flame.

Ignition by Hob Control Knob: Press the hob control knob of the burner you want to operate and
turn the hob control knob in the counterclockwise direction so that the knob is in maximum
position while keeping the knob pressed. The spark plugs will generate sparks as long as you keep
the control knob pressed. The micro switch placed under the knob will automatically create sparks
through the spark plug of the burner. Continue pressing the knob until you see a stable flame on
the burner.

Flame safety device:

Hob Burners (If your product is equipped with gas safety device)

Hobs equipped with flame failure device provide security in case of accidentally extinguished flame.
If such a case occurs, the device will block the burners gas lines and will avoid any accumulation of
unburned gas. Wait 90 seconds before re-igniting an extinguished gas burner.
