USING THE BURNERS

The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner.

• START-UP WITHOUT VALVES

Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press start-up button P (fi g. 1).

• USING THE BURNERS

In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).

Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the closing point.

Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the closing point.

The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing position.

If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1).

The walls of the pieces of furniture must resist a temperature of 75° C besides the room one.

The equipment must not be installed near inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloths, etc. Make a hole in the top of the piece of furniture, with the dimensions indicated in fig. 3, at a distance of at least 50 mm from the appliance border to the adjacent walls.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

MODEL L (mm) P (mm)
HC622VGB 560 490

Any possible wall unit over the cook-top must be placed at a distance of at least 760 mm from the top.

It is advisable to isolate the appliance from the piece of furniture below with a separator, leaving a depression space of at least 10 mm (fi g. 4).

If the hob is going to be installed on the top of an oven, precautions must be taken to guarantee an installation in accordance with current accident prevention standards. Pay particular attention to the position of the electric cable and gas pipe: they must not touch any hot parts of the oven.

Moreover, if the hob is going to be installed on the top of a built in oven without forced cooling ventilation, proper air vents must be installed to guarantee an adequate ventilation, with the lower air entering with a cross section of at least 200cm² , and the higher air exiting with a cross section of at least 60cm² .

- FASTENING THE TOP

Every cook-top is equipped with a special washer. A set of hooks is also supplied for mounting the cook-top.

Depending on the type of mounting surface, the suitable type of mounting hook is supplied (hook A or hook B).

For the installation proceed as follows:

• Remove the racks and burners from the top.
• Turn the appliance upside down and lay the washer S along the external border (fi g. 5).
• Introduce and place the cook-top in the hole made in the piece of furniture, then block it with the V screws of the fastening hooks G (fi g.6 / 6A).

• INSTALLATION ROOM

This appliance is not provided with a device for exhausting the products of combustion.

Regarding room ventilation rules where appliance is installed make reference to the legislation, in conformity with the local regulations.

• FOR THE U.K. ONLY

The room containing this hotplate should have an air supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2: 1989.

• All rooms require an openable window, or equivalent and some rooms will require a permanent vent a well.
• For room volumes up to 5m ³ an air vent of 100cm ² is required.

- For room volumes between 5m ³ and 10m ³ an air vent of 50cm ² is required.

- If the room is greater than 5m ³ and has a door that opens directly to the outside, then no air vent is required. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room BS 5440: Part 2:1989 should be consulted to determine the air vent requirements.

• GAS CONNECTION

Make sure that the appliance is adjusted for the gas type available (see the label under the appliance). Follow the instructions indicated in the chapter "gas transformations and adjustments" for the possible adaptation to different gases.

The appliance must be connected to the gas system by means of stiff metal pipes or flexible steel pipes having continuous walls, in compliance with the regulations in force.

Some models are equipped with both cylindrical A and conical B connectors for gas supply (fig. 7). Please select the type which is correct for the supply concerned.

The connection must not stress the gas ramp.

Once the installation is over, check the connection seal with a soapy solution.

• ELECTRIC CONNECTION

The connection to the electric grid must be carried out by qualified personnel and in conformity with the regulations in force.

The voltage of the electric system must correspond to the value indicated in the label under the appliance. Make sure that the electric system is provided with an effective ground connection in compliance with the regulations and provisions of the law. Grounding is compulsory.

GAS TRANSFORMATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

• REPLACING THE NOZZLES

If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that is different from the one available, it is necessary to replace the burner nozzles.

The choice of the nozzles to replace must be made according to the table of the "technical characteristics" as enclosed.

Act as follows:

• Remove the racks and burners.
  • By means of a straight spanner L, unscrew the nozzle U (fig.8) and substitute it with the corresponding one.
• Tighten the nozzle strongly.

• ADJUSTING THE BURNERS

The lowest flame point must always be properly adjusted and the flame must remain on even if there is an abrupt shift from the maximum to the minimum position.

If this is not so, it is necessary to adjust the lowest flame point as follows:

• start the burner up
• turn the tap up to the minimum position (small flame)
• remove the knob from the tap rod
• introduce a flat-tip screwdriver in the hole F of the tap (fig. 9-9/A) and turn the by-pass screw up to a proper adjustment of the lowest fl ame point.

As regards G30 gas burners, the by-pass screw must be tightened completely.

MAINTENANCE

- REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

If the power supply cable should be replaced, it is necessary to use a cable with a section of 3 × 1.5 mm² , type H05VV-F or H05RR-F, complying with the regulations in force for the hob with gas burners. For the hob with electric plates and power under 3500W 3 × 1.5 mm² power cable should be used.

The connection to the terminal board must be effected as shown in fig. 10 - 10/A:

brown cable L (phase)

blue cable N (neutral)

green-yellow cable (ground)
