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 (tightness is
ensured by a biconical brass ring). Use a soapy solution to check for
proper tightness. Never use a free flame. The hob has been inspected
for G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. For use with other
types of gases, see Section “ ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES
OF GAS”. The gas intake fitting is ½” gas external threaded (ISO 228-
1).
Connection with rigid copper pipe: the
connection to the gas mains must not
provoke stress of any kind on the hob.
Connection may be made by using biconical
adapter D with insertion of gasket C
(supplied).
Connection with flexible pipe: use only
flexible pipes conforming to standard
regulations in force, inserting gasket C
(supplied) between fitting A and flexible pipe

8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Instructions for the user
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
8.1 Cleaning
Clean the cooking top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it
has cooled.
8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob
In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific
products only, which do not contain abrasive substances or chlorinebased acid substances.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will
damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or
residuals with non-scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood
or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
42
8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.
In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and panstands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts
using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then
use a specific paste polish to restore the steel’s shine. Your local
authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products
for appliance cleaning and care.
Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be
removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm
water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the
components to fully dry out. In fact, humidity residues
inside the burner holes might impair burner operation.
8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices
For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety
devices, keep them very clean.
Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
8.2.2 The electric element
After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the
electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which
are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents
oxidisation (rust formation).
8.2.3 The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never
use abrasive sponges or detergents.
Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or
still hot.
Attention: the glass lid may break if overheated. Make sure that all the
burners are switched off and let them cool down before lovering the lid.
