en Important safety information
(Important safety information
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE APPLIANCE STORAGE DRAWER OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLAINCE AS A SPACE HEATER.
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
:Warning – Risk of deflagration!
Accumulation of unburned gas in an enclosed area carries a risk of deflagration. Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might blow out the burners. Carefully read the instructions and warnings on the operation of gas burners.
:Warning – Risk of poisoning!
The kitchen will become hot and humid and combustion products produced when this gas appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in operation: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the appliance may require additional or more effective ventilation: open a window or increase the power of the ventilation system.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
■The hotplates and their immediate vicinity get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children under 8 years old well away from this appliance.
■If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners.
Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so that gas escapes uncontrollably. Both can cause burns. Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position.
:Warning – Risk of fire!
■The hotplates get very hot. Do not rest inflammable objects on the hob. Do not store objects on the hob.
■Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, products which produce fumes, inflammable materials or non-food products below or near this domestic appliance.
■Fat or oil which is overheated can catch fire easily. Never leave fat or oil to heat up unattended. If oil or fats do catch fire, never use water to put the fire out. Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and switch off the hotplate.
:Warning – Risk of injuries!
■Pans which are damaged, are not the right size, hang over the edge of the hob or are not positioned correctly can cause serious injuries. Follow the advice and warnings provided relating to the cooking pans.
■In the event of a malfunction, turn off the appliance’s gas and electricity supply. For repairs, call our Technical Assistance Service.
■Do not tamper with the appliance's interior. If necessary, call our Technical Assistance Service.
■If a control knob is too stiff to turn or it is loose, it must not be used. Contact our after-sales service immediately to have the control knob repaired or replaced.
:Warning – Risk of electric shock!
Do not clean the appliance using steam cleaners.
What to do if you smell gas
■Do not try to light the appliance.
■Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

PLQ
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting shield must be fitted.
■The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest part of the hotplate and must be capable of withstanding the appliance temperatures. Minimum thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
■The shield material must be mdf or similar with minimum thickness of 12 mm.
■The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide x 480 mm deep.
■Provide cut-out in right hand rear of shield of 80 mm wide x 80 mm deep to provide for gas regulator / LP connection fitting.

If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier does not need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must be maintained between the underside of the cooktop and the top of the oven.
Installation of cooktop into the kitchen bench
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
Make an appropriate size cut in the work surface.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the cutting surfaces with a special glue. This protects them from moisture which could collect under the work surface.
Note: Wear protective gloves to fit the hob.
Depending on the model, the adhesive seal may be factory-fitted. If this is the case, it should not be removed under any circumstances, since the adhesive seal prevents leaks. If the seal has not been factoryfitted, apply it to the underside of the hob.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:
1.Screw each one of the clips into the position indicated so that they are free to rotate.
2.Insert and centre the hob.
Press the sides of the hob until it is supported around its entire perimeter.
3.Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the work surface is.
Do not stick the hob onto the worktop with silicone.

Electrical connection
An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must remain accessible after installation of the appliance.
Important notes:
■This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by means of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the kitchen unit to prevent it from coming into contact with hot parts of the cooktop (or an oven installed underneath) and remain accessible after installation of the cooktop.
