INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

• The following information is intended for qualified and competant persons only who will ensure that your appliance is installed correctly. All current legislation concerning the in-stallation of Gas appliances must be observed by the installer*
• For the U.K. only – By law, the gas installation/commissioning must be carried out by a «Corgi», registered installer.
• This appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable regulations and should only be used in well-ventilated locations. Before using this appliance carefully study the instruction book.

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 natu-ral 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 win-dow 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 competent 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’ instructions 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 TO SPUR TERMINAL
• Green & Yellow Wire Earth Connection
• Blue Wire Neutral Connection
• Brown Wire Live Connection

Note: We do not advocate the use of earth leakage devices with electric cooking appliances installed to spur points because of the «nuisance tripping» which may occur. You are again reminded that the appliance must be correctly earthed, the manufacturer declines any responsibility for any event occurring as a result of incorrect electrical installation.

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 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 different models)

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating pla-te 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 danger-ous. 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.

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 posi-tion 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 stain-less 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.

Chromed grids and burners

Chromed grids and burners have the tendency to dark with the use.  This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn’t jeopardize absolutely the functionality of the hob. In anycase from our after sales service centre the spare parts are available. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any inaccuracy resulting from printing or transcript errors contained in this brochure. We reserve the right to carry out modifications to products as required, including the interests of consumption, without prejudice to the characteristics relating to safety or function.
