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 as the opening of a window or an increase in the 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 relevant national standards.

N.B. : Carry out a final check for leaks on the pipework using a soapy solution. Never use a flame. Also, make sure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact with a moving part of the cabinet (eg, a drawer) and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.

To prevent any potential damage to the hob please carry out the installation following this sequence:

Please note
Some models are equipped with both conical and cylindrical connectors for gas supply. Please select the type that is correct for the supply concerned.

ADAPTING THE HOB TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the following instructions:— remove the grids and burners

• and insert the hexagonal spanner (supplied) into the burner support (Fig. 6)
• unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used (see Table of gas consumption)
• carry out regulation of the burner.

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 the ‘ X ‘ setting varies with the size of a gas burner and the 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 color (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 the 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 applying 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 different models)

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with a 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 : Before 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 pan size should match the gas burner size as follows. See fig. pag. 1-2.

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 bases should not be used.
WARNING : If a burner is accidentally extinguished, 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 enameled, varnished, or chrome sections, use warm soapy water or a noncaustic 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 enameled, varnished, 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 them.
The Burners must be 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.
• Chromed grids and burners
• Chromed grids and burners tend to be dark with the use.
• This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn’t jeopardize absolutely the functionality of the hob.
• In any case from our after-sales service center, the spare parts are available.
