Suitable location
A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the area in which it is installed. For this reason you should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all natural air passages open or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such the opening of a window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if you have one. If a hood cannot be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or window as long there are air vents in the area. The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5 times every hour. The installer should follow the relavant national standards.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Warning – this appliance must be earthed This appliance is designed for
domestic use only. Connection to the mains supply must be made by a competant
electrician, ensuring that all current regulations concerning such
installations are observed.
The appliance must only be connected to a suitably rated spur point, a 3 pin
13 amp plug/socket is not suitable. A double pole switch must be provided and
the circuit must have appropriate fuse protection. Further details of the
power requirement of the individual product will be found in the users’
instruction and on the appliance rating plate. In the case of built-in product
you are advised, should you wish to use a longer cable than the one supplied,
that a suitably rated heat resistant type must be used. The wiring must be
connected to the mains supply as follows:
CONNECT
Green & Yellow
Blue Wire

SETTING OF THE GAS BURNERS
When the jets have been changed it is necessary to set the correct air gap by
keeping to the setting “X” as shown in the table “ gas consumption” fig 7.
Warning the value of ‘ X ‘ setting varies in relation to the size of gas
burner and type of gas chosen. A good flame must be of medium length (fig.8B),
excessive air will cause the flame to be short and with sharp colour (fig.8C):
in this case it is necessary to extend out the tube for the air setting from
the burner body, if there is insufficient air the flame will appear weak and
long (fig. 8A): in this case push the tube of the air setting back into the
burner body. To adjust the air setting tube loosen the retaining screw. Once
the air is correctly set secure the screw over the tube ( fig. 7).
For dimensions «X» see table of gas consumption
REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME
After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and
then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted
as in Fig. 9. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst turning
it anticlockwise increases the flow – Use this adjustment to obtain a flame of
approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and then replace the control knob. When the
gas supply available is LPG (Bottle gas)- the screw to set the idle flame must
be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.
Screws regulating (for differend models)When you have carried out the new gas
regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one
(supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been
regulated.
USE OF HOB USER INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be dangerous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from improper use.
USING THE GAS BURNER
To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and
turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds
before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to
escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:
- push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ★ symbol.
- ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to
the ★ symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is
being pressed.
If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position
and repeat the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the
flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described
above, but care must be taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds
after the flame is ignited.
ATTENTION: Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and
burner caps are correctly placed within their position.
GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner
size as follows. See fig. pag. 1-2.
Hob type | Burner type | Ø pan / pot (cm) |
---|---|---|
A;B;C. | R/H front burner | 12÷18 |
A;B;C. | L/H front burner | 12÷18 |
A;B;C. | R/H rear burner | 18÷24 |
A;B. | L/H rear burner | 24÷26 |
C | L/H rear burner | 18÷24 |
C | Central burner | 24÷28 |
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame
does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base
should not be used.
WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the
off position and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to
lubricate them.
Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug
from the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.
When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy
water or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate
cleaning solution. Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated
with vaseline or seed oil. Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents,
bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid or alkaline substances (lemon,
juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnisched or stainless steel
sections.The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their
original shine, use a household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry
the burners and replace. It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.
AFTERCARE
Before calling out a Service Engineer please check the following:
- that the plug is correctly inserted and fused;
- that the gas supply is not faulty.
If the fault cannot be identified: switch off the appliance — do not tamper
with it — call the Aftercare Service Centre.
