1. Instruction for the User

HOB BURNERS CONTROL KNOBS

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob front panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :

• there is no gas supply
  ere is maximum gas supply
  ere is minimum gas supply

- For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

Depress the relevant switch marked with a small spark. Then, push the relevant knob down and turn it anticlockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

Check the flame is regular and adjust it as required. If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig. 1, lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ●.

• Always turn the flame down or put it out before taking the pans off the burner.

USING THE HOB CORRECTLY

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

- Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.

Fig. 1

Table of minimum and maximum diameters of pots which can be placed on the burners

Burner minimum m	maximum diameter diameter
Big (rapid) 160 mm. Small (Auxiliary) 80	240 mm. mm. 160 mm.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance

- Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners

Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food. Carefully wash the stainless steel components with water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.

If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.

Never use steel wool pads or acids.

In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.

To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically lubricated.

- The periodic lubrication of the taps must be carried out by qualified personnel, which you must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.

• The side walls of the unit in which the hob is going to be installed, must not exceed the height of the working top.
• Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea towels etc.).
• The following instructions about installation and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the regulation in force. The regulation to be applied for this type of installation is NBN D 51.003 : "Installations functioning with combustible gas lighter than air".
• The appliance must be electrically disconnected before all interventions. If any electric supply to the appliance is required to carry out the work, ensure all the necessary precautions are followed.

Fig. 4

GAS CONNECTION

It is indispensable that the connection to the gas mains are carried out by means of an AGB tap. Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless steel).

If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not come in contact with mobile parts or they are not squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is combined with an oven.

This hob can be operated by Slochteren gas (G25) with a nominal pressure of 25 mbar or by natural gas with nominal pressure of 20 mbar. No regulation is required for use by these two types of gas.

Before fitting the appliance ensure that the installation has the correct voltage for the appliance. At full capacity, the drop in pressure must not exceed 5%. Such a drop in pressure is caused by the following parameters:

• maximum capacity of meter;
• diameter and lenght of the tube in front and behind the meter;
• section of transit of variuos tubes positioned on the circuit;
• diameter of eventual connections.

IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a saving of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage pressure of the appliance must correspond to the recommended values.

The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2". Interpose the sealing between the components as shown in fig. 3. Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in the required direction and tighten everything.

The adjustable connection allows the feeding pipe to be situated in the site purposefully allocated on the side of the protection box of the hob itself (Fig. 4). This connection allows the overall dimensions of the hob plus the fedding pipe to be contained into a depth of 30 mm.

IMPORTANT - When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and installation. Use some soapy water, never a flame.

B) Adjustable connection
C) Rigid or flexible metallic gas pipe

5. Electrical Connection

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V monophase electricity supply.

The connection must be carried out in compliance with the laws and regulations in force.

Before the appliance is connected:

1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for the electrical connection can be easily reached with the appliance built in the forniture unit.

The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the load marked on the identification plate. To connect the plug to the cable, follow the recommendation given in Fig. 5. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.

If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system, it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current rules.

The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in each part, it cannot reach a temperature 90\ °C higher than the room temperature.

The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal block contact marked with "L") must always be connected to the network phase.

REPLACEMENT OF THE VOLTAGE CABLE

The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's terminal block is of type "Y". This means that its replacement requires the specific equipment of a technician.

In this case, only cable type H05V2V2-F T90 must be used. The cable section must be suitable to the voltage and the working temperature.

The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm. longer than the phase wires (Fig. 5).

To open the terminal block and reach the terminals, proceed as follows:

- insert the point of a screwdriver into the visible protrunding part of the terminal block;

- exert a light pressure and lift (Fig. 6)

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

6. Adaptation to different types of gas

INJECTORS REPLACEMENT

• Remove the pan supports.
• Remove the burner's caps and crowns.
• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and remove the injectors (Fig. 7), and replace them with the ones required for the type of gas in use (see Table 2).
• Reassemble the parts, following the same procedure backwards.
• Replace the rating label (placed near the gas supply pipe) with the relevant one for the new type of gas supply. You can find this label in the package of the injectors supplied with the appliance.

Should the feeding gas pressure be different or variable compared with the required pressure, an appropriate pressure adjuster must be fitted on the gas supply pipe, in compliance with the rules in force.

ADJUSTMENT OF MINIMUM LEVEL

To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as follows:

• Light the burner.
• Turn the knob on the minimum position.
- Remove the knob.
- With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw (see Fig. 8). If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular flame is obtained.
- Finally check the flame does not go out when quickly turning the knob from the maximum position to the minimum position.

This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob has been positioned or built in the working top.
