Gas Connection
Assembly of gas supply and leakage check
Connect the appliance in accordance with applicable local and international
standards and regulations. First, check what type of gas is installed on the
cooker. This information is available on a sticker on the back of the cooker.
You can find the information related to appropriate gas types and appropriate
gas injectors in the technical data table. Check that the feeding gas pressure
matches the values on the technical data table, to be able to get the most
efficient use and to ensure the minimum gas consumption. If the pressure of
used gas is different than the values stated or is not stable in your area, it
may be necessary to assemble an available pressure regulator on the gas inlet.
You should contact an authorised service centre to make these adjustments.
Points that must be checked during flexible hose assembly:
- If the gas connection is made by a flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of the hob, it must be fixed on by a pipe collar.
- Connect your appliance with a short and durable hose that is as close as possible to the gas source.
- The permitted maximum length of the hose is 1.5 m.
- The device should be connected in line with the relevant local gas standards.
- The hose must be kept clear of areas that may heat up to temperatures of more than 90°C.
- The hose must not be cracked, torn, bent or folded.
- Keep the hose clear of sharp corners and objects that could move.
- Before you assemble the connection, you must make sure the hose is not damaged. Use bubbly water or leakage fluids to perform the check. Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leakage.
- All metal items that are used during gas connection must be free from rust. Check the expiry date of any components used for connection.
Points that must be checked during fixed gas connection assembly
The method used to assemble a fixed gas connection (gas connection made by
threads, e.g. a nut) varies according to the country you are in. The most
common parts for your country will be supplied with your appliance. Any other
parts required can be supplied as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut on the gas manifold fixed while
rotating the counter-part. Use appropriately-sized spanners for a safe
connection. For surfaces between different components always use the seals
provided in the gas conversion kit.
The seals used during connection should also be approved to be used in gas
connections. Do not use plumbing seals for gas connections.
Remember that this appliance is ready to be connected to the gas supply in the
country for which it has been produced. The main country of destination is
marked on the rear cover of the appliance. If you need to use it in another
country, any of the connections in the figure below may be required. In such a
case, contact local authorities to earn the correct gas connection.
The Cooker must be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified gas
registered technician in accordance with current safety legislation.
WARNING: Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
Gas Conversion (if available)
Your appliance is designed to be operated with LPG /NG gas. The gas burners
can be adapted to different types of gas, by replacing the corresponding
injectors and adjusting the minimum flame length suitable to the gas in use.
For this purpose, the following steps should be performed.
Changing injectors
Hob burners
- Cut off the main gas supply and unplug the appliance from the mains electrical supply.
- Remove the burner caps and the adapters.
- Use a 7 mm spanner to unscrew the injectors.
- Replace the injector with the ones from the gas conversion kit, with the correct diameters for the type of gas that is going to be used, according to the gas injector table.
Adjusting the minimum flame position:
First of all, make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the mains
electrical supply and that the gas feed is open. The minimum flame position is
adjusted with a flat screw located on the valve. For valves with a flame
failure safety device, the screw is located on the side of the valve spindle
as shown in the figures. For valves without a flame failure safety device, the
screw is located inside the valve spindle as shown in the figure. To make
adjusting the flame position easier, we recommend that you remove the control
panel (and the micro switch if your model has one) during the alteration. The
bypass screw must be loosened for conversion from LPG to NG. For conversion
from NG to LPG, the bypass screw must be tightened.
Valve with flame failure device

Determining the minimum flame position
To determine the minimum position, ignite the burners and leave them on in the
minimum position. Remove the knobs because the screws are accessible only when
the knobs are removed. With the help of a small screwdriver, fasten or loosen
the bypass screw by around 90 degrees. When the flame has a length of at least
4mm, the gas is well distributed. Make sure that the flame does not die out
when passing from the maximum position to the minimum position. Create an
artificial wind with your hand towards the flame to see if the flames are
stable.
Changing the gas inlet
For some countries, the gas inlet type can be different for NG/LPG gases. In
this case, remove the current connection components and nuts (if any) and
connect the new gas supply accordingly. In all conditions, all components used
in gas connections should be approved by local and/or international
authorities. In all gas connections, refer to the “Assembly of gas supply and
leakage check” clause explained above.

USE OF PRODUCT
Use of Gas Burners
Ignition of the Burners
The position symbol above each control knob indicates the burner that the knob
controls.
Manual Ignition of the Gas Burners
In case there is a failure in the electric network, follow the procedures
listed below.
For Hob Burners: Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and keep it
pressed while turning it anti-clockwise until the knob is in the ‘maximum’
position. Continue pressing the knob and hold a lit match, taper or other
manual aid to the upper circumference of the burner. Move the ignition source
away from the burner as soon as you see a stable flame.
Electrical ignition by control knob
Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and keep it pressed while
turning it anticlockwise until the knob is in the 90 degrees position.The
microswitch under the knob will create sparks through the spark plug for as
long as the control knob is pressed. Press the knob until you see a stable
flame on the burner.
Flame safety device, Hob burners
Hobs equipped with a flame failure device provide security in case of an
accidentally extinguished flame. For this reason, during ignition, keep the
knob pressed until you see stable flames. Hold down the control for
approximately 10 to 15 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control
too soon will extinguish the flame. If such a case occurs, the device will
block the burners gas lines and will avoid any accumulation of unburned gas.
Wait 90 seconds before re-igniting an extinguished gas burner.
Hob Controls
Hob burner
The knob has 3 positions: off (0), maximum (big flame symbol) and minimum
(small flame symbol ). Ignite the burner with the knob in the ‘maximum’
position; you can then adjust the flame length between the ‘maximum’ and
‘minimum’ positions.
Do not operate the burners when the knob is between the ‘maximum’ and ‘off’
positions.
After ignition, visually check the flames. If you see a yellow tip, lifted or unstable flame, switch the gas flow off, then check the assembly of burner caps and crowns once they have cooled. Make sure there is no liquid in the burner caps. If the burner flames go out accidentally, switch the burners off, ventilate the kitchen with fresh air and wait at least 90 seconds before attempting re-ignition.
To switch the hob burners off, turn the hob burner knob clockwise to the ‘0’
position or so that the marker on the hob burner knob points upwards. Your hob
has burners of different diameters. You will find that the most economical way
of using gas is to choose the correct size gas burner for your cooking pan
size and to bring the flame to the ‘minimum’ position once boiling point is
reached. We recommend that you always cover your cooking pan to avoid heat
loss.
To obtain maximum performance from the main burners, we suggest you use pots
with the following flat bottom diameters. Using pots smaller than the minimum
dimensions shown below will cause energy loss.
Rapid/ Wok Burner | 22 – 26 cm |
---|---|
Semi – rapid Burner | 14 – 22 cm |
Auxiliary Burner | 12-18 cm |
Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out from the outer
circumference of the pan, as this may harm plastic accessories, such as
handles. Switch the main gas control valve off when the burners are not in use
for prolonged periods of time.
WARNING: Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick bases.
- Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the burner.
- The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. It is imperative that children and animals are kept well away from the burners during and after cooking.
- After use, the hob remains very hot for a prolonged period of time. Do not touch it and do not place any object on top of it.
- Never place knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob as they will get hot and could cause serious burns.
- Do not allow pan handles or any other cooking utensils to project over the edge of the cooker top.
