If you have any doubts do not use the appliance and call your nearest Assistance Centre. Some parts are mounted on the appliance and protected by a plastic film. This protective film must be removed before ever the appliance is used. We recommend slitting the plastic film along the edges with a sharp knife or pin.

The packaging materials used (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails … ) should not be left anywhere  within easy reach of children as they are a potential hazard source.

INSTALLING AND FIXING THE HOB

The measurements of the cavity made in the top of the modular cabinet and into which the hob will be recessed are indicated in fig. 9. Cupboards or hoods have to maintain a least distance of 750 mm from the top.

IMPORTANT!
Under the hob it is necessary to always apply a panel of separation in wood, positioned to a least distance of 5 mm by the
bottom of the same, which has to easily be removable to allow possible operations of maintenance (see fig. 10).

The hob has a special seal which prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly comply with the following instructions in order to correctly apply this seal:.

• Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob, pressing it in place with the fingers.
• Remove the strip of protective paper from the seal. Insert the hooks into their relative housings (K) on the hob and set this  into the
• hole in the cabinet.

GAS CONNECTION

Before to connect the appliance to the gas network, check that the adjustment sticker data plate, put on the bottom of the appliance, correspond to the available one in the gas network. The adjustment sticker data plate, gives all the appliance’s setting conditions as: gas type and gas operating pressures. Once installed, check there are no leaks using a soapy solution only. Never use a flame! It is forbidden!

The appliance’s gas inlet fitting is a G ½” male threaded cylindrical gas type in accordance with the Standard ISO 228-1.
When gas is distributed through ducts the appliance must be connected to the gas mains with:

• ⇒ A flexible stainless steel, seamless pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, with a maximum 2 metres extension and seals in accordance with the National Rules in force. N.B.: Make sure that the pipe, once the appliance is installed, does not come into contact with the mobile parts of the unit in which the hob is built-in (like drawers for instance), get squashed or is too bent.
• ⇒ A rigid steel pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, whose joints must be made using threaded fittings in accordance with the Standard ISO 7/1. The use of hemp with suitable adhesives or Teflon tape as a sealant is not allowed.
• ⇒ A copper pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, whose joints must be made using sealed fittings in accordance with the National Rules in force.

When gas is supplied directly from a gas cylinder, the appliance, supplied by a pressure regulator in accordance with the Standard
EN 12864, must be connected:

• ⇒ With flexible stainless steel, seamless pipes in accordance with the National Rules in force with a maximum 2 metres extension and seals in accordance with National Rules in force. N.B.: Make sure that the pipe does not come into contact with the mobile parts of the unit in which the hob is built-in (like drawers for instance), get squashed or is too bent. We  recommend attaching the special adapter to the flexible pipe, easily found on the market, to facilitate connection to the pressure regulator’s hose fitting on the cylinder.

Anyway, the pipe connecting the appliance with the gas mains should lie with smooth bends ,and the rubber gasket  preventing leakage added by user between the appliance’s gas inlet fitting and the pipe connection must comply with the Standard EN 549 (get it in proper Technical Assistance Centres or authorised dealers).

CAUTION!

• Before any adjustment is attempted, which may be necessary when installing for the first time or when converting  gas type, take the plug out of the mains socket.
• When the adjustment or readjustment has been made, a technician must do any re-sealing, if any.
• To adjust “reduce rate”, using proper screw driver, from Natural gas to Butane/Propane ones, light burners one by one and put handle in minimum position; remove the handle and screw clockwise completely the by-pass screw. Put back in position the handle and check stability flame, turning the handle from “Maximum” to “Minimum” position and vice versa.
• To adjust “reduce rate”, using proper screw driver, from Butane/Propane gases to Natural one, light burners one by one and put handle in minimum position; remove the handle and unscrew an clockwise in the way to get proper flame. Put back in position the handle and check stability flame, turning the handle from “Maximum” to “Minimum” position and vice-versa.
• “Primary air adjustment” on hob gas burners is unnecessary.

TAPS
The adjustment of the reduced rate position is as follows:

• Light the burner and turn the knob to reduced rate position (small flame).
• Remove the knob which is simply inserted onto tap stem.
• Insert a small screwdriver into the top shaft and turn the throttling screw left or right until flame of the burner is conveniently
• regulated to the low position.
• In the case of taps with safety thermocouples, the adjustment screw is on the side of the stem.
• Make sure that when turning quickly from “Maximum” position to “Minimum” one, the burner does not extinguish.

Attention: if the tap, after long use of the hob, present some friction to rotation, do not insist to use it. Call the nearest Assistance Centre of ours that will take action to substitute the tap with the proper one.

After the injectors have been changed, the technician must adjust the burners as described in the previous paragraphs, seal any adjustment or readjustment parts.
Important: after the conversion, substitute the adjustment sticker data plate put on the bottom of the appliance with the new one, corresponding to the new gas adjustment. The sticker is included in the “kit injectors”
