INSTALLATION (CLASS 3)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER

Use protective gloves for handling, preparing and installing the product.
This product can be embedded in a worktop 20 ÷ 60 mm thick.
If there is no oven beneath the hob, insert a separator panel that has a surface at least equal to the opening in the work surface.
This panel must bepositioned at a maximum distance of 150 mm below the upper surface of the work surface but, in no case less than 20 mm from the bottom of the hob. In the case that you intend to install an oven beneath the hob, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.

DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES TO BE MAINTAINED

NOTE: If distance “A” between the kitchen cabinets is between 600 mm and 730 mm, height “B” must be at least 530 mm. If the distance “A” between the kitchen cabinets is greater than the width of the hob, height “B” must be at least 400 mm. If a hood is installed above the hob, refer to the assembly instructions for the hood to see the necessary distance.

ASSEMBLY
After having cleaned the perimeter surface, apply the supplied gasket to the hob as shown in the figure. Position the hob in the worktop opening made respecting the dimensions indicated in the Instruction.
NOTE: the power supply cable must be long enough to permit its upward extraction. To secure the hob, use the brackets (A) provided with it. Fit the brackets into the relevant bores shown by the arrow and fasten them by means of their screws in accordance with the thickness of the worktop (see the following Figures).

GAS CONNECTION

Connect elbow (A) or (B) supplied with to the hob inlet main pipe and interpose the washer (C) supplied, in compliance with EN 549.
Use elbow (A) for France and elbow (B) for all other destinations.
After connection to the gas supply, check for leaks with soapy water. Light up the burners and turn the knobs from maximum position to minimum position to check ame stability.

DAILY USE

HOW TO USE THE HOB
Do not let the burner ame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
IMPORTANT: when the hob is in use, the entire hob area may become hot.

To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum ame setting.
Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.
After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5-10 seconds to allow proper device operation.
This burner safety device shuts the gas supply to the burner if the same goes out accidentally (because of sudden draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over liquids, etc.).
The knob must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
NOTE: should particular local conditions of the delivered gas make the ignition of burner dicult, it is advisable to repeat the operation with the knob turned to the small ame setting.
The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the safety device has not warmed up enough. In this case, repeat the operations described above.
If the burner ame is accidentally extinguished, switch the burner control and do not try to ignite for at least 1 minute.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS

This hob has burners of dierent diameters. For better burner performance, please stick to the following rules:
BURNER| POT Ø
---|---
2 Rings| From 24 to 26 cm
Rapid| From 24 to 26 cm
Semi-rapid| From 16 to 22 cm
Auxiliary| From 8 to 14 cm
use pots and pans with bottoms the same width as that of the burners or slightly larger (see table on the right);
only use at-bottomed pots and pans;
use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered;
make sure pots on the grates do not protrude beyond the edge of the hob;
In the case of pans with convex bottoms (WOK), use the support grille (not provided), which should be positioned only on the multi-ring burner;
avoid accidentally knocking the hob with pans, racks or other kitchen utensils;
do not leave empty steak grills over the lit burner for longer than 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT: improper use of the grids can damage the hob: do not position the grids upside down or slide them across the hob.

Do not use:

cast iron griddles, ollar stones, terracotta pots and pans;
heat diffusers such as metal mesh, or any other type;
two burners simultaneously for one receptacle (e.g. sh kettle).
Liquids spilled on the hot hob area can cause glass damage.

ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS

This operation must be performed by a qualied technician.
If the appliance is intended to operate with a dierent gas from the gas type stated on the rating plate and information label on the top of the hob, change the injectors.
Remove the information label and keep it with the instructions booklet.
Use pressure regulators suitable for the gas pressure indicated in the

Instruction

the gas injector must be changed by After Sales Service or a qualied technician;
injector not supplied with the appliance must be ordered from After Sales Service;
adjust the minimum setting of the taps.
NOTE: when liquid petroleum gas is used (G30/G31), the minimum gas setting screw must be tightened as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT: should you experience difficulty in turning the burner knobs, please contact the After Sales Service for the replacement of the burner tap if found to be faulty.
IMPORTANT: when a gas cylinder is adopted, the gas cylinder or gas container must be properly settled (vertical orientation).

REPLACING THE INJECTORS
(see the injector table in the Safety instructions)
This operation must be performed by a qualied technician.

Remove grids (A).
Extract burners (B).
Using a socket spanner of the appropriate size unscrew the injector (C), to be replaced.
Replace it with an injector suitable for the new type of gas.
Re-assemble the injector in (D).
If you have a multiple crown burner, use a side spanner to replace the injector (E)

ADJUSTING THE MINIMUM GAS SETTING OF TAPS
This operation must be performed by a qualied technician. The adjustment must be performed with the tap in a minimum gas setting position (small same). The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted. To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted, remove the knob (F) and proceed as follows:

tighten the screw to reduce the ame height (−);
loosen the screw to increase the same height (+). this stage, light up the burners and turn the knobs from maximum position to minimum position to check ame stability.
Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealing wax or an equivalent material.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE

All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and a neutral solution.
Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with special cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.
NOTE : clean stainless steel only with a soft cloth or sponge.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.
Do not use steam cleaning appliances.
Do not use flammable products.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
