4.4 Preparing for installation
Check that the appliance is pre-set to use the gas family available at the place of use. If the available gas is different, you will need to convert the appliance to use this other type of gas. For directions, please refer to section “Adjustment instructions” below.
4.5 Storage
If the appliance has been stored in a warehouse where room temperature is below 0°C (32°F), it should be warmed up to at least +10 °C (50 °F) before switching it on.
4.6 Transporting the appliance
The best way to transport this appliance is inside its packing to protect it from outside damage. After the appliance has been unpacked, use wooden spacers if you should need to lift it up.
4.7 Unpacking the appliance
Prior to installation, remove all packaging materials from the appliance. Certain parts are wrapped up in adhesive film, which should be carefully removed. Remove any glue traces left on the appliance thoroughly using non- flammable solvents. It is forbidden to use abrasive substances.
4.10 Gas supply connection
This appliance is designed to burn natural and liquid gas. To find out the category to which this appliance belongs in the country where it is installed, please refer to the table below.
Table 1: gas categories and pressure values NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.

1. This appliances do not require an electrical connection, as they function totally on the gas supply only.
2. It is essential that the gas supply is correct for the appliance to be installed and that adequate supply pressure and volume are available. The following checks should therefore be made before installation:-
   a. Gas Type the appliance has been supplied for is shown in the rating label. Check that this is correct for the gas supply the appliance is being installed for. The gas conversion procedure is detailed in this manual.
   b. Supply Pressure required for this appliance is shown above table 1. Check the gas supply to ensure adequate supply pressure exists.
   c. The appliance should be connected to the gas supply by means of metal pipes –either rigid or flexible– having an adequate diameter. When joining pipe fittings, never use oakum or Teflon as their residues could get to the valve and jeopardize its operation. Instead, interpose a seal gasket suitable for use in gas systems.

WARNING: DO NOT USE A NAKED FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGES.
4.11 Checking gas supply pressure after installation
Gas supply pressure may be measured using a liquid or a digital manometer.
Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the control panel;
2. Connect the manometer;
3. Start up the appliance by following the information in “Operating instructions”;
4. Check supply pressure;
5. Remove the manometer;
6. Refit the screw and check for leaks.

If the measured pressure valve is within the range shown in .”Table 1: Gas categories and pressures”, the appliance can be turned on; otherwise, contact your Gas Company.
4.12 Gas technical specifications
The appliance should be started up at its rated output with the nozzles shown in “Table 2: burner specifications” below. All the necessary nozzles are provided in a small bag together with the appliance. The nozzles of the main burners are marked in hundredths of mm, while those of pilot flames have a reference number.

Adjustment Instructions

To convert (for example) from natural gas to liquid gas, you need to change the nozzles of main and pilot burners.
The appropriate nozzles are shown in “Table 2: burner specifications”.

5.1 Adjust air ratio device

1. Unscrew the control panel thus can see the adjust air ratio device from bottom view.
2. Adjust the air ratio based on burner flame.

5.2 Replacing the nozzle of the pilot flame

1. Place a 11-mm spanner on the pilot burner body to counterbalance torsional stress;
2. With a 10-mm spanner, unscrew the nut fixing the thermocouple and remove the thermocouple;
3. Unscrew the nut fixing the gas pipe and remove the pipe;
4. Take the nozzle out of the pilot burner body and replace it with a suitable one (see “Table 2: burner specifications”);
5. Refitting the spare part is a reversal of removal;
6. It is not necessary to adjust primary air;

5.3 Functional check

1. Start the appliance by following the “Operating instructions”;
2. Check for leaks;
3. Check for flame stability throughout the ON-OFF-ON control range;
4. Check the lighting process along the main burner and check that flames are even;
5. Check for proper operation of pilot flame;
6. Check that flue gases come out of the corresponding pipes regularly;
7. Check that there is a good inflow of fresh air.

Operating Instructions

6.1 Before using the appliance
6.1.1 Preparing the appliance for use
Before cooking food for the first time, we recommend cleaning the appliance thoroughly. Remove all packaging materials and adhesive films from the appliance very carefully. Before cleaning the stainless steel parts, make sure that the detergent you intend to use does not contain any abrasive substances and that it is suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Wipe the appliance dry with a clean cloth.
Never use water jets to clean the appliance.
6.2 Using the appliance
6.2.1 Operating controls
By way of example, below are represented 2 of the most comprehensive appliances in this family.
6.2.2 Turning the burners on and off

1. Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the position “ ”. (Fig 1)
2. Hold down the knob and at the same time press the pulse igniter to light pilot.
3. After lighting the pilot, hold down the knob for 15 more seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat.
4. If the pilot flame goes out when you release the knob, repeat the item 1 to 3 specified above.
5. “Full Flame” can now be achieved by depressing and rotating the gas control knob anti-clockwise to the position “ ”. (Fig 2)
6. Turn the knob clockwise to the position “ ”. The burner shall extinguish and the pilot shall remain alight.
7. To turn off the appliance completely, turn the knob fully clockwise to the position “ ”.

NOTICE: An unpleasant smell the very first time it is operated can be considered as completely normal.
6.3 After-use care
6.3.1 Cleaning
Before cleaning, turn off the appliance, shut off gas supply upstream of it.
General information
The main causes for stainless steel wear or corrosion are:

1. Using abrasive or acid detergents, especially chlorine-based products such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Therefore, before buying a detergent product, make sure it does not corrode stainless steel
2. Stagnation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the water flowing through the piping, especially after the appliance has remained idle for some time). Therefore, avoid such stagnation; do not use wire wool pads to remove the most stubborn food residues. Use, rather, pads or spatulas made of stainless steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;

Stains and abrasions on the steel surface
Scratches and dark stains may be smoothed or removed using stainless steel wool pads or synthetic abrasive sponges, which should always be rubbed in the same direction as the satin finish.
6.3.3 Periodic maintenance
Only qualified personnel are allowed to carry out service and maintenance operations.
The following maintenance operations should be performed at least once a year:
Checking for proper operation of all control and safety devices;
Checking burner combustion, i.e.:

1. ignition;
2. combustion safety;
3. checking for proper operation throughout the entire HIGH-to-LOW control range.

We recommend signing a service agreement providing for at least one check-up a year.
