OUTER DIMENSIONS
In the drawings below, all the dimensions are displayed in mm.
Sufficient clearance around the hob is essential for a safe use of the hob. Check that there is sufficient clearance. The minimum distance of the hob to a cooker hood should be at least 650 mm.

GAS CONNECTION

Caution!
The hob should be connected to a gas supply of the particular type of gas that the appliance is manufactured to function with. Information about the type of gas that the hob has been adapted to by the factory is shown on the rating label. The hob should be connected exclusively by an appropriately authorized fitter and only that person has the right to adapt the hob to a different type of gas.

Fitting guidelines
A fitter should:

• have a gas fitter’s authorisation;
• be acquainted with the information included on the rating label of the hob about the type of gas to which the hob is adapted; the information should be compared with the gas supply conditions at the place of installation;
• check:
  • airing efficiency, that is effeciency of air exchange in the rooms;
  • tightness of gas fitting connections;
  • effectiveness of alle functional elements of the hob;
  • if the electricity supply is adapted to function with a safety ground lead (zero).
• regulate the settings of the rotary buttons for the gas burners, to ensure proper operation of the spark ignition and gas leak safety.

Caution!
The hob may only be connected to a liquid gas cylinder of the existing gas supply by an authorised fitter, observing all safety rules.

Connection with a flexible steel hose
If the hob is connected according to the class 1 specifications, only flexible metal hose can be used which meet the valid national regulations. Gas feeding connector must be G ½” threaded coupling. Use only pipes and fittings that meet the requirements of the valid standards. Maximum admissible length of the flexible hose is 2000 mm. Make sure the connection is not touching any mobile elements which could damage the hose.

Connection with a stable pipework
The hob comes with a G ½” threaded coupling. The connection to gas supply must be done in a manner that excludes stresses in any point of the pipework or parts of the appliance. Make sure you do not exceed the torque when making the connection (maximum torque is 20 Nm). Otherwise, the connection may be faulty or leaks may occur. The gas hose should not touch metal elements of the hob back shield.

Important! Each time you replace a reducer, carry out technical inspection of the hob that covers gas valves and proper operation of the flame failure cut-off device.
Caution! On completion of the hob installation, the tightness of all connections should be checked, e.g. applying water with soap. Do not use fire to check tightness.\

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance.
• The earthing of the appliance is compulsory by law.
• Attention: the connection point must always be accessible.

ADAPTING THE HOB TO ANOTHER TYPE OF GAS
This operation may only be carried out by an appropriately authorised fitter.
If the gas the hob is to be supplied with differs from the gas provided for the hob by the manufacturer, that is G25/ 25.3 / 25 mbar, burner nozzles must be exchanged and the flame needs to be adjusted. In order to adapt the hob to burn a different type of gas, you should:

• exchange the nozzles (see the gas tables below);
• adjust the “economical” flame.

Caution! The hobs provided by the manufacturer have burners which are factory-adapted to use the gas specified on their rating labels.

In order to perfom adjusting operations, take off the knobs.

Surface burners applied do not require adjustment of primary air. A correct flame has distinct internal cones of blue and green colour. A short, humming flame or long, yellow and smoking one, without clearly outlined cones, shows improper quality of gas in the household piping or a damaged or soiled burner. In order to check a flame, heat a burner for around 10 minutes with a full flame, and next turn the valve knob to the economical flame position. The flame should not go out or jump onto the nozzles.

• The rating label on the product indicates for which type of gas your appliance is suitable. Check with the service organisation of Inventum if you want to adjust the appliance for different types of gas. Find the method in the manual of the conversion kit.

Exchange of a burner nozzle
Unscrew the nozzle with a special socket spanner No 7 and replace with a new one according to a type of gas (see gas table).

Caution! Adapting the appliance to a different type of gas than is indicated by the manufacturer of the hob on the rating label, or purchasing a hob for a different type of gas than supplied to the house, is exclusively the responsibilty of the user and the fitter.

In hobs with a safety device, a knob with a surface burner safety valve is used, fig. Knobs should be adjusted with the burner switched on and set to the economical flame position, using an adjustment screwdriver of the size 2.5 mm.

Caution! After adjustment is completed, place a label indicating the type of gas to which the hob is now adapted.

HOW TO USE THE BURNERS

CHOICE OF COOKWARE

• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. When the flames burn around the pan, a lot of energy is lost and the handles from the pan may also become too hot.
• Use cookware that fit the burners in diameter. This reduces the cooking time.
• Use flat bottomed cookware.
• Always use the right amount of liquid for boiling food and use a lid to reduce the cooking time.
• The recommended pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger than the burner diameter, that is, for:
• for a simmer burner – a pan with a diameter of 120 to 150 mm
• for a semi-rapid burner – a pan with a diameter of 160 to 220 mm
• for a wok burner – a pan with a diameter of 200 to 240 mm and the pan height should not be greater than its diameter.

CONTROL KNOBS FOR THE BURNERS
Before operating the hob please make sure that the burner caps are well- positioned.

1. burner switched off
2. large flame
3. economic al flame
4. thermocouple
5. ignition

Each control knob has an automatic ignition.

• Press the control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the setting “large flame”
• Hold the control knob down fully for at least 3 seconds between the highes t and the lowest flame. The integrated ignition ignites the burner and the flame comes on.
• Hold down the control knob for 10 more seconds after the flame is on to activate the thermocouple. Otherwise the flame extinguishes immediatelty.
• When the burner is not ignited after 15 seconds, wait one minute before trying to ignite it again.
• When the burner accidentally goes out, the thermocouple safety pilot in each burner will close the gas supply (by boiling over, by drafts, no gas supply, etc.). No flame = no gas!

A correctly adjusted burner has a light blue flame with a clearly visible internal cone. Selection of the flame size depends on the position of the control knob of the burner which has been set:

large flame
small flame (“economical flame”)
burner switched off (gas supply is cut off)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the hob after each use to maintain it in good condition. Food residue can create stubborn stains if not removed directly after use. Use a mild cleaning detergent to clean the hob.
Burner parts and the pan supports should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The dishwasher detergent can corrode the materials. The pan supports, burners and burner caps are removable for easy cleaning of the cooking part.

• First clean the control knobs, burners, burner caps and pan supports.
• Check whether the thermocouple and ignition are clean. If necessary use a toothpick or needle.
• Clean the drip tray.
• Clean everything again with just a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
• Refit the burners. Make sure the openings are aligned for the thermocouple and the ignition.
• Refit the burner caps.
• Refit the pan supports. Place them carefully on the drip tray without sliding.

PERSISTENT STAINS

Persistent stains on the pan supports and burner caps can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic scouring sponge. Never use aggressive cleaning products or sharp objects to clean the hob.
Persistent stains on stainless steel are best removed with a special stainless steel cleaning product. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent damage to the protective layer.
The surface of the stainless steel drip tray can discolour slightly over time.
