COOKTOP SPECIFICATIONS

Warnings:

This appliance is designed to be built into a housing unit.

The installation class is type 3 for gas and type Y for electric parts. Housing units must be designed to withstand temperatures of up to 90°C or over. For correct installation, refer to the relevant paragraph and reference drawings. The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room in which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation openings open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood with exhaust duct). In the case of intensive or

prolonged use of the appliance it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation, for example, by opening a window, or more efficient ventilation, for example by increasing the hood speed.

This handbook is valid for several types of cooktop. Refer to the data plate on the back in order to identify the model that corresponds to your appliance. These informations, together with the instructions and the illustrations in the following paragraphs will show you the characteristics of your appliance.

USING THE COOKTOP

Gas burners

The delivery of gas to the burners is controlled by the knobs shown in fig.2 that in turn control the taps. The symbols, depending on the various versions, may be printed over or under the knobs. By moving the indicator to coincide with the printed symbols, the following adjustment can be made:

Tap closed, no gas delivery Maximum capacity, maximum gas delivery Minimum capacity, minimum gas delivery

Burners ignition

Some models are equipped with safety valves which automatically shut off the gas delivery in the event the burner should, for any reason, go out. To relight the burner, turn the knob to position "tap closed" and repeat the ignition procedure explained in the following paragraphs.

with ignition switch For models fitted with ignition switch, turn the gas tap knob to the maximum delivery position, then press the ignition switch and the knob, holding down for about 4÷5 seconds.

with "under-knob" ignition For models fitted with ignition incorporated in the knobs, turn the gas tap knob to the maximum delivery position, then press and hold down it for about 4÷5 seconds.

Choosing the right burner

Fitting the appliance in the worktop

Once the burner is light on, adjust the flame by turning the knob to obtain the desired intensity.

The setting must always be positioned between the maximum and minimum, and never

between the maximum setting and the off position.

If the burner is difficult to light on, or if the flame is tall or irregular, turn off immediately

turning the knob to "off" position and call Assistance Service.

If the particular nature of the local gas supply makes it difficult to ignite the burners with the knob

turned to the maximum setting, repeat the operation without a pan in position and with the knob

turned to the minimum setting and without pan stands.

Warning: The ignition device must not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after this length of time the

burner does not light, or if it goes out again accidentally, wait 1 minute before trying to ignite it again

The panstand grids are designed to make the appliance easy and safe to use. Always check the panstand grids are properly positioned before using the appliance. Furthermore, always check the protective rubber feet are all present and correctly positioned.

Grid for small pots or pans (optional - Fig.1) This is placed on top of the auxiliary burner grid (the smallest one) when pots or pans of reduced diameter are used, to avoid unbalancing.

The symbols stamped on the control panel (fig.2) near the knobs indicate which knob correspond to which burner. To choose the most suitable burner, take into account the diameter of the pan as well as the pan capacity (see table). The diameter of the pan must be proportionate to the burner power in order to ensure high yield.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Important!

These instructions are intended for qualified technicians.

The appliance must be installed correctly, in compliance with current laws.

Before carrying out any operation on the appliance, it must be disconnected from the electric supply.

The cooktop may be fitted into any worktop, as long as it is heat resistant (minimum temperature of 90°C) The dimensions of the hole to be made in the worktop and the minimum distances between rear and side walls and those above the appliance are shown in figure 4. Isolation below (fig.6):

If the cooktop is installed without an oven below it, a separator panel must be placed between

the bottom of the cooktop and the housing below it, at a minimum distance of 10 mm.

Ø minimum

60 mm (with

reducer) 160 mm 200 mm

200 mm 240 mm

Ø maximum

140 mm

If the cooktop is installed over an oven, place a separator panel at a minimum distance of 15mm

and follow the oven manufacturer's instructions, ensuring nonetheless sufficient aeration

as specified in fig.6.

In any event, the electrical connection of the two appliances must be carried out

separately,

It is advisable to use an oven equipped with an internal forced cooling system.

both for electrical safety and to facilitate removal.

Fixing the cooktop (fig.7):

To fix the cooktop in the housing, proceed as follows:

Position the special gasket supplied [C] along the outer perimeter of the worktop, following the

diagram shown in fig.4, so that the ends of the gasket meet exactly without overlapping.

Position the cooktop into the worktop, taking care to ensure it is placed exactly in the centre.

Fix the cooktop to the worktop using the special brackets supplied [A], as shown in fig.7.

Correct installation of the sealing gasket ensures complete protection against infiltration of liquids.

Installation area and removal of combustion fumes

The appliance must be installed and operated in suitable areas, and in compliance with current laws.

The installation technician must observe current laws governing ventilation and removal of combustion fumes Please remind that the air required for combustion is 2m3/h per kW of power (gas) installed.

Installation area In the room where the gas appliance is installed, there must be a sufficient natural air supply to allow the gas to burn correctly (in conformity of currents laws). The natural flow of air must take place through an opening made on an outside wall of the room and having a working section of at least 100 cm2 (A). In the case of appliances without safety valves, this opening must have a minimum working section of 200 cm2 (fig.8).

This opening must be made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from inside or outside. It should be positioned near floor level, preferably on the side opposite the fume exhaust devices. If it is not possible to make the necessary openings, the air can be supplied from an adjacent, suitably ventilated room, as long as this room is not a bedroom, a dangerous area or a lowpressure area.

Removal of combustion fumes Combustion fumes produced by gas appliances must be removed by means of a hood connected directly either to an exhaust duct or to the outside (fig.8). If a hood cannot be installed, an electric extractor fan must be fitted to the outside wall or the window. This electric extractor fan must have a sufficient capacity to guarantee a change of air of the kitchen of at least 3-5 times its volume.

Components shown in fig.8:

Opening for air supply

Hood for exhaust removal of combustion fumes

Electric extractor fan for removal of combustion fumes

Connection to gas supply

Before installation, make sure the type and pressure of the local gas supply are compatible with the cooktop settings. To do this, check the data on the appliance data plate on the cooktop as well as on this handbook.

The gas connection must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with local current laws. If using metal hoses, ensure these do not come into contact with any movable parts and are at no point crushed.
