Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

l there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.

Push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise
to "maximum position". After lighting the flame,

keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds.
This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. D)
to be heated and the safety device to be switched
off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" and "crown" (Fig. 1, lett.
A-B) is in the correct position.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel
wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

Pan Supports

The hob has cast iron pan supports. Take care when
removing them. They are fairly heavy and could damage
the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let them fall down.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.

Candle for electric ignition

The electric ignition 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 are not obstructed.

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.

Instruction for the Installer

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 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 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.

A) Ramp with ending nut
B) Seal
C) Adjustable connection

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.

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.

FO 2365

Fig. 3

Connection to the gas supply can be carried out on the left
or on the right of the hob connection pipe.
The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive
ramp by means of a threaded nut GJ 1/2". Interpose the
sealing between the components as shown in fig.5.
Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in
the required direction and tighten everything.
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.
