1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

INSTALLING A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE CAN BE A COMPLICATED OPERATION WHICH IF NOT CARRIED OUT CORRECTLY, CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT CONSUMER SAFETY. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT THE TASK SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN BY A PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED PERSON WHO WILL CARRY IT OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECHNICAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS ADVICE IS IGNORED AND THE INSTALLATION IS CARRIED OUT BY AN UNQUALIFIED PERSON, THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT WHETHER OR NOT IT RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO GOODS OR INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS.

1.1 BUILDING IN

The hob may be installed in any worktop which is heat resistant to a temperature of 100°C, and has a thickness of 25-45 mm. The dimensions of the insert to be cut out of the worktop are in shown in Figure 2.
If the Hob is fitted next to a cabinet on either side, the distance between the Hob and the cabinet must be at least 15 cm (see Figure 4); while the distance between the hob and the rear wall must be at least 5,5 cm.
The distance between the hob and any other unit or appliance above it (e.g. An extractor hood) must be no less than 70 cm (Figure 4). When there is an accessible space between the built-in hob and the cavity below, a dividing wall made of insulating material should be inserted (wood or a similar material) (Figure 3). Important – The diagram in figure 1 shows how the sealant should be applied.

The Hob unit is fitted by attaching the Fixing Clamps supplied, using the holes at the base of the unit.

If a hob of 60 cm is fitted above an oven which is not equipped with fan cooling system it is recommended that openings are created within the built in furniture to ensure correct air circulation. The size of these openings must be at least 300 cm2 and placed as shown in Figure 5. When a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven, the latter must be fan cooled. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote- control system.

1.2. SUITABLE LOCATION

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only used in a well ventilated space. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance. 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 speed of the electric fan, if you have one.

If a hood can not be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or window to ensure that there is adequate ventilation.

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.

2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (FOR U.K. ONLY)

Warning – this appliance must be earthed This appliance is designed for domestic use only. Connection to the main 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’ instruction 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
Green & Yellow Wire
Blue Wire
Brown Wire

TO SPUR TERMINAL
Earth Connection
Neutral Connection
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.

2.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check the data on the rating plate, located on the outside of the unit, to ensure that the supply and input voltage are suitable. Before connection, check the earthing system. By Law, this appliance must be earthed. If this regulation is not complied with, the Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused to persons or property. If a plug is not already attached, fit a plug appropriate to the load indicated on the rating plate. The earth wire is coloured yellow/green. The plug should always be accessible. Where the Hob is connected direct to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker must be fitted. If the power supply cord is damaged this is to be replaced by a qualified engineer so as to prevent any potential risk.

The earth wire ( green and yellow coloured ) must be at least 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires. The section of the cable used must be of the correct size in relation to the absorbed power of the hob. Please check rating plate for the power details and ensure that the power supply cord is of the type 3×0.75 mm² H05 V2V2-F.

If an appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the instructions shall state that means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

2.2. GAS CONNECTION

These instructions are for qualified personnel, installation of equipment must be in line with the relevant national standard. (For U.K. only: by law the gas installation commissioning must be carried out by a “Gas Safe” installer)

All work must be carried out with the electricity supply disconnected.
The rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is designed to be used. Connection to the mains gas supply or gas cylinder should be carried out after having checked that it is regulated for the type of gas with which it will be supplied. If it is not correctly regulated see the instructions in the following paragraphs to change gas setting. For liquid gas (cylinder gas) use pressure regulators which comply with the relevant national standards. Use only pipes, washers and sealing washers which comply with the relevant national standards. For some models a conic link is furnished to outfit for the installation in the countries where this type of link is obligatory; in picture 8 it is pointed out how to recognize the different types of links (CY = cylindrical, CO = conic). In every case the cylindrical part of the link has to be connected to the hob.

When connecting the hob to the gas supply via use of flexible hoses please ensure that the maximum distance covered by the hose does not exceed 2 metres.

The flexible tube shall be fitted in such a way that it cannot come into contact with a moveable part of the housing unit (e.g. a drawer) and does not pass through any space where it may become crushed/ kinked or damaged in any way.
To prevent any potential damage to the hob please carry out the installation following this sequence (picture 6):

1)As illustrated, assemble parts in sequence:
A: 1/2 Male Adaptor Cylindrical
B: 1/2 Seal
C: 1/2 Female Gas Adaptor Conical-Cylindrical or Cylindrical – Cylindrical

2)Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the pipes into position.
3)Attach fitting C to mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or flexible steel pipe.

IMPORTANT: carry out a final check for leaks on the pipe connections 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.adrawer) and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.

Warning: If gas can be smelt in the vicinity of this appliance turn off the gas supply to the appliance and call the engineer directly. Do not search for a leak with a naked flame.

2.3. 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 ·insert on hexagonal spanner (7 mm) into the burner support (Figure 7) ·Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used (see gas type table)

2.4. 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 Figure 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 – the screw to set the idle flame must be turned (clockwise) to the end stop. When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

3. 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.

3.1. USING THE GAS BURNER

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.
To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ignition symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparkler button.

For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the ignition symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the control knob is being pressed.
If the burner has not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 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 and described above, but care must be taken. Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and burner caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVISE
For best results, use cooking vessels with a flat surface. The size of the surface should match the gas burner side as follows. Table A.

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with a concave or convex base should not be used.
The special removable support, supplied with some models, must be used only on the auxiliary burner.
WARNING: If a flame 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.

3.2. USE OF COOKTOP ELECTRICAL PLATES

Turn the knob to the position for the required temperature of the hot plate. The indicator light of the hot plate will come on and the hot plate will start to heat.
When cooking is completed, turn the knob to the ” O” position. (Figure 10). Do not leave the hot plate turned on without a pan on it. The diameter and the base of the pan you use is critical. The maximum diameter of the pan base is 14 cm and the base should be flat.
Leave the hot plate to heat up for 5 minutes before placing a pan on it the first time you use it. This will allow the heat resistant coating of the plate to harden due to burning.
Use a wet cloth and detergent for cleaning the hot plates. Do not remove food residues from the hot plates with a knife or any other hard, sharp object.
Turn on the hot plate for a few moments to dry it after cleaning. However, it must never be left on for more than a few moments without a pan on top.

Suitability of Cooking Pans (Figure 11)
Keep in mind that larger pans have larger heating surfaces.
This will help them to cook the food faster than pans with smaller heating surfaces.
Always use pan sizes proportionate to the amount of the food to be cooked. In order to prevent splashing, do not use very small pans, especially for foods with excess liquid. If you use excessively large pans for quick cooked foods, sausages and liquids will stick and residues will remain attached to the pan after being emptied.
Closed pans and baking trays or moulds are suggested for cooking sweets. Splashed sugar and juices from an open pan may stick to the cooker surface and will be difficult to remove.
This is especially important for pans used for roasting or pressurized cooking at high temperature.
Do not leave burners unattended without a pan or with an empty pan on top. Check the suitability of cooking pans with respect to the following criteria; They should be heavy.
They should completely cover the burner surface; they may be a little bigger but no smaller.
Base surfaces should be completely flat and fit well on the cooking surface.
• For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimize energy consumption, only pans with smooth flat bases should be used. The size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and never smaller. The base of the pan should be dry and spillage should be avoided. Empty pans must not be left on the plates, and the plates should not be left switched on without a pan.

4. 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.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnished or stainless steel sections.

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.

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.

Chromed grids and burners Chromed grids and burners have a tendency to discolour with use. This does not jeopardize the functionality of the hob.
Our After Sales Service Centre can provide spare parts if required.

5. 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 detected: Switch off the appliance and call the After Service Centre. DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE APPLIANCE.
