Instructions for use

The hob control knobs
The symbols on the control knobs mean the following:

All operating positions must be set between the maximum and minimum flow settings, and never between the maximum setting and the closed position.

(Symbol present on versions with lighting integrated in the control knob)

• A – Burner cap
• B – Lighting plug
• C – Thermocouple
• D – Triple flame cap

Dual triple-flame version

Lighting the burners

To obtain a flame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking utensil on the pan stand.
To light a burner, proceed as follow: for versions with lighting integrated in the control knob: push the knob of the burner fully down and turn it anti- clockwise to the “maximum flow” setting symbol, or press the button if the appliance has individual lighting.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds: this time is necessary to heat up the “thermocouple” (Fig.1-C) and activate the safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.
Then check the flame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the it if required.

In the instance of a power cut, place a flame near the burner and proceed as described above. If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the “burner cap” and “flame cap” are correctly positioned.
To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the ● symbol.
Before removing pans from the burners, always lower or turn off the flame.

For correct use of the hob
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency: Use only pans that are stable and fit for use on the burners, with dimensions as shown in the table below. It is recommended to use a wok trivet when using the wok burner (triple flame) to ensure there is sufficient oxygen to the flame. Failing to do so may cause damage to burner components. In addition, as soon as liquid comes to the boil, take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it boiling.

During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully as these substances may catch on fire if brought to high temperatures.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow it to cool down.

General cleaning

• Wash enameled parts with lukewarm water and detergent: do not use abrasive products that might damage them.
• Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking care to remove all deposits.
• The hob pan stands can be washed in a dishwasher.
• For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning.

Hob
Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid detergent. Do not use the following products:

• household detergents or bleaches
• soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils
• steel wool scouring pads
• stain removers for baths or sinks

If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial products.

Ignition plug
Automatic burner ignition is provided (when installed) by a ceramic “plug” and a metal electrode (B in fig.1 on page 4). Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly.

Furthermore, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed.

To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap and separate the two parts (see diagram on the right). After cleaning, put the two parts back together and return them correctly to their position. After washing, replace the hob pan stands, checking that they are correctly positioned.

Routine maintenance
Have the condition and efficiency of the gas pipe as well as the pressure regulator (if installed) checked periodically. If anomalies are found, do not repair and have the faulty part replaced.

To ensure good performance and safety, the gas regulator taps must be greased periodically.

Periodic lubrication of the taps or malfunctions of the appliance must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Installation Instructions

Dear Installer:
Please affix data label provided on the adjacent cupboard near the appliance for future reference. Thank you.

CAUTION:
This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms with permanent ventilation to local standards.

Installation of the appliance and its connection to the electrical mains must only be carried out by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

Before any procedure, it is important to check that the appliance is disconnected from the power supply. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage arising from installation in breach of the regulations in force or from failure to comply with accident prevention regulations.

Installation premises

For the proper operation of this gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each kW of power (see total power in kW on the appliance nameplate).

This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from the inside or outside; and placed close to the floor, preferably on the side opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it is not feasible to provide these openings in the room where the appliance is installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided that:

• this room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment,
• this room is not in a vacuum,
• the ventilation between the room where the appliance is installed and the adjacent room is guaranteed by permanent openings.

Note that the minimum height from the hob to the kitchen cabinet is 750mm.

Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases through hoods connected directly to flues or the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the hood (fig. B), an electric fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of the room, provided it is possible for the ventilation opening to be increased in proportion to the delivery rate of the fan (fig. C). For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must guarantee an hourly air exchange of 3-5 times its volume. In both instances, the use of flues already used by other appliances to discharge the flue gases is forbidden.
Please note that the minimum height between the hob and the ventilation system is 650mm.

Connection to the gas supply

The gas connection must be made in accordance with the local standards. When installing, fit a safety tap at the end of the pipeline. The appliance leaves the factory tested and set for the type of gas indicated on the plate inside the bottom guard, close to the gas connection pipe. Make sure that the type of gas to be supplied to the appliance is the same as that shown on the plate. Otherwise, follow the instructions provided in the “Adapting to different types of gas” section.

For maximum efficiency and minimum consumption, make sure that the gas supply pressure complies with the values shown on the appliance. A suitable pressure regulator must be installed on the supply pipeline. The union must be fitted on the end of the gas train. Complete with GJ½” threaded nut, fit the gasket between the components as shown in the illustration. The gaskets must comply with the local standards. Screw the parts together without forcing it, fit the union so that it points in the direction required, then tighten all parts.

Connection

Make sure the connection to the gas system is using a rigid metal pipe and regulation unions, or with a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard. If metal hoses are used, take care that they do not come into contact with mobile parts and are not crushed. This must also be checked if the hob is to be combined with an oven.
The gas intake connection of the appliance has a “male thread”.

When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the appliance.

When the installation is complete, always check that all the unions are absolutely tight using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this check.

Electrical connection

The appliance is designed to operate with a power supply voltage of 220-240 V single-phase. The connection must be made in accordance with the regulations and laws in force.

Before making the connection, make sure that:

1. The safety circuit-breaker and the electrical system are able to withstand the load of the appliance (see nameplate).
2. The power supply system has an earth connection in good working order in accordance with the regulations in force;
3. The socket and switch used are easily accessible with the appliance installed.

Fit a plug suitable for the load on the power lead and connect it to a suitable safety socket.

If you wish to make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch must be installed between the appliance and the mains: with at least 3mm between the contacts of suitable rating for the load while complying with the regulations in force. The switch must not break contact in the yellow/green earth wire. The brown live wire (connected to the “L” terminal of the terminal board) must always be connected to the live wire of the power supply mains.

In all cases, the power supply lead must be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of 50oC above the room temperature at any point.
One example of an ideal route is shown in the illustration. The cable is guided by means of band clamps fixed to the side of the cabinet, in order to avoid any contact with the appliance underneath the hob.

Replacing the power supply lead
If the lead has to be replaced, only HO5RR-F or HO5RN-F type cables suitable for the load and the operating temperature must be used. In addition, the yellow/green earth wire must be about 20mm longer than the live and neutral wires.

Adapting to the different types of gas

Changing the nozzles

1. Remove the pan stands.
2. Remove the burner caps and flame caps from the burners.
3. Use a size 7 socket wrench to unscrew and remove the nozzles, replacing them with those corresponding to the type of gas to be used (see “Technical data”).
4. Reassemble the parts, reversing the operations described above.
5. Then replace the setting data (close to the mains gas connection) with the one for the new type of gas. If the pressure of the gas used is different from that specified (or variable), a suitable piped gas pressure regulator complying with the standard must be installed on the supply pipeline.

Setting the minimum level

1. Light the burner as already described.

2. Turn the tap to the minimum flame position.

3. Remove the control knobs.

4. LPG to NG:
   Use a thin blade screwdriver to turn the by-pass screw located in the centre of the gas valve shaft, as shown on the image. Gently turn the by-pass screw clockwise to the end, then turn it anti-clockwise – 1/2 turn for the triple flame burner, 3/4 turn for the large rapid burner, also 1/2 turn for the medium semi-rapid burner, and 3/8 turn for the auxiliary burner.
   NG to LPG:
   Use a thin blade screwdriver to turn the by-pass screw located in the centre of the gas valve shaft as shown on the image. Gently turn the by-pass screw clockwise to the end.

5. Finally, check that the burner does not go out when the tap is turned quickly from the maximum to the minimum position.

Building into fitted kitchen units

These hobs are designed for installation in fitted kitchen units up to 600mm deep with suitable characteristics.
Please refer to the New Zealand Gas standards for minimum clearances of the installation of gas appliances.
The dimensions of the hob and the installation opening are shown in the illustration.

Insertions and fixing

Before inserting the hob in the installation opening, place the special gasket around the bottom edge of the hob.
It is important to fix this gasket evenly without gaps or overlapping, in order to prevent liquid from seeping underneath the hob.

1. Remove the pan stands and burners caps, and turn the hob upside down, taking care not to damage the ignition plugs and the thermocouples.
2. Place the gasket around the bottom edge of the hob as shown in the illustration on the right.
3. Place the hob in the installation opening and push it down so that the hob is resting firmly on the cabinet, as show in the illustration. The side springs will hold it in place.

Installation options

On base cabinet with door
When constructing the cabinet, suitable precautions must be taken to prevent contact with the casing of the hob, which becomes very hot during operation. The recommended method for overcoming this problem is illustrated on the right.

The panel underneath the hob must be easily removable to allow the hob to be locked in position and released in case of servicing work.

On base cabinet with oven
Two possible methods for avoiding overheating are illustrated on the right.

The electrical connections of the hob and oven must be made separately both for electrical reasons and for simplifying the removal of the oven through the front of the cabinet.

The distance must be at least 650mm between the gas hob and the ventilation system, and must be at least 750mm between the gas hob and the kitchen cabinet.

When installing a rangehood above a gas appliance, all relevant New Zealand building, installation and regulation standards must be adhered to.
