the appliance.
Installation
It is mandatory that all operations required for the
installation are carried out by a qualified or competent
person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.
It is dangerous to alter the specification in any way.
Should you connect any electrical tool to a plug near
this cooking appliance, ensure that electric cables are
not in contact with it and keep them far enough from
the heated parts of this appliance.
If the appliance is out of order, disconnect it from the
electric supply.
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.
Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.
Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas type
stated on the identification label, placed near the gas
supply pipe.
Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.
In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.
Once you removed all packaging from the appliance,
ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable is
in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your dealer
before proceeding with the installation.
The manufacturer disclaims any responsability
should all the safety measures not be carried out.

Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
F
l Depress the relevant switch marked with a small
spark. Then, push the relevant knob down and turn it
anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum"
position.Check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
l If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.
l To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol l.
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a
fire, if over-heated.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
General cleaning
- Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
- Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with
hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of
food.
- Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
- The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If the marks
are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-
abrasive cleaners or specific products.
- Never use steel wool pads or acids.

Electric ignition
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is
obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal
electrode (fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.
FO 2110
Periodic maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.
l The periodic lubrication of the taps must be
carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.

Installation
l The side walls of the unit in which the hob is
going to be installed, must not exceed the height
of the working top.
l Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity of
inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea towels
etc.).
l The following instructions about installation and
maintenance must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with the regulation in
force. The regulation to be applied for this type
of installation is NBN D 5I.003 : "Installations
functioning with combustible gas lighter than
air".
l The appliance must be electrically disconnected
before all interventions. If any electric supply to
the appliance is required to carry out the work,
ensure all the necessary precautions are followed.

IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a saving
of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage
pressure of the appliance must correspond to the
recommended values.
The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive
ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2".
All the components shown in Fig.4 have already been
assembled in the factory.
The appliance, before leaving the factory, has been
tested in order to give you the best results.
IMPORTANT - When the final connection has
been made, it is essential that a thorough leak
test is carried out on the hob and installation.
Use some soapy water, never a flame.
Gas connection
It is indispensible that the connection to the gas mains
are carried out by means of an AGB tap. Choose fixed
connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless
steel).
If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not
come in contact with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is
combinated with an oven.
This hob can be operated by Slochteren gas (G25) with
a nominal pressure of 25 mbar or by natural gas with
nominal pressure of 20 mbar. No regulation is required for
use by these two types of gas.
Before fitting the appliance ensure that the installation
has the correct voltage for the appliance. At full capacity,
the drop in pressure must not exceed 5%. Such a drop in
pressure is caused by the following parameters:
- maximum capacity of meter;
- diameter and lenght of the tube in front and behind the
meter;
- section of transit of variuos tubes positioned on the
circuit;
- diameter of eventual connections.
