INSTALLATION

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.

BUILDING-IN

BUILDING-IN : both the worktop where the hob will be fitted and any adjacent kitchen furniture must be made from heat resistant material and fixed with heat resistant adhesive.

If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a heatproof partition 1 cm below the base of the hob with a 10×10 cm opening at the rear right-hand corner, to avoid any risk of scorching or damage.

A foam adhesive is supplied with the hob. Stick this seal under the edge of the body as near as possible to the outer edge of the hob. Press round the edges of the hob, so that the seal flattens out and ensures an air tight seal.

Warning : at the rear of the appliance, take care not to block the air inlets necessary for combustion to take place.

The body of the hob is fitted with 4 location holes to take the fixing brackets that secure the the hob in the unit. Place the 4 fixing brackets in such a way that the hob is placed perfectly in the support unit.

GAS CONNECTION

This appliance is not connected to an evacuation device for the products of combustion. It must be installed and connected in compliance with the norms in force in the country of installation. Particular attention should be given to the availability of ventilation. The turnover of air necessary for combustion is a minimum of 2 m3/h per kW of power.

Gas connection should be carried out in compliance with the norms in force in the country of installation.

A stop tap, a regulator valve or a release valve for propane gas, should be fitted to the gas supply pipe. Use only taps, regulator valves, connectors and flexible hoses with the official mark of approval of the country of installation.

Connect directly to the threaded end of the inlet pipe.

- CONNECTION BY FLEXIBLE PIPE WITH MECHANICAL CONNECTOR

(We recommend this type of connection)

Screw the nuts of the flexible pipe directly on to the inlet pipe at one end and the gas supply stop tap at the other.

N.B.: carry out a final check for leaks on the pipework 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, a drawer) and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.

For some models a conic link is furnished to outfit for the installation in the countries where this type of link is obligatory; in the following figures it is pointed out how to recognize the different types of links. In every case the cylindrical part of the link has to be connected to the hob.

The mains electricity supply connected to the appliance should comply with the norms in force in the country of installation. Connection to the mains electricity supply should be through a socket with an earth terminal, or through an intermediary switching device with a gap between contacts of at least 3 mm. The power supply unit must be protected by appropriate fuses and use cables of a large enough cross section to provide a normal supply to the appliance.

The hob is fitted with a power supply cable* with plug which allow it to be connected only to a power supply of 230 V between phases, or between phase and neutral.

Connect to a 10/16 Amp socket. Before connecting, it is compulsory to check :

  • the power supply voltage shown on the electricity meter,
  • the adjustment of the circuit breaker, and
  • the fuse rating,
  • the earth continuity.

Note : the socket must be reachable for any eventual repair. Take care of its location at the time you install the hob.

* The eventual replacement of the supplying cord must be carried on by the After Sales Service or by an agreed engineer, with a cord whose characteristics must be similar to the original one :
- Gas hob : cord type H05RR-F, H05VV-F, H05V2V2-F (3 x 0,75 mm2 section),
- Mixed hob : cord type H05RR-F, H05VV-F, H05V2V2-F (3 x 1,5 mm2 section).

The appliances are regulated by the manufacturer for the type of gas indicated on the packing and on the label attached to the appliance itself. If they are to be used with another type of gas, the appliance must be adjusted in the following way:

GAS BURNERS

Each burner is controlled by a tap with progressive settings allowing:

* a wider choice of settings from the maximum position to the lowest and most precise one,
* easier flame regulation according to the pan diameter,
* no risk of cutting off the flame or switching off when the flame is turned down quickly.

IGNITION

RECOMMENDATIONS : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be turned off.

  • Turn on the gas tap,
  • A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit.
  • Turn and press in the relevant burner control knob to the “+” (💧) symbol, keeping it pressed in until the flame ignites. On models fitted with electronic ignition the flame is ignited by an electric spark. This is operated by the button or by pressing the knob (for models with ignition under the knob).

For models not fitted with electronic ignition, or if there is no electric power, light the flame with a match.

NB: for models fitted with the SAFETY thermocouple, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds in order to activate the safety system. If the knob is released straightaway there is not time for the safety system to be activated and the flame goes out. If this happens, repeat the ignition procedure from the beginning waiting longer after the flame is lit.

The rapid thermocouple safety device automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished.

If there are particular local gas supply conditions which make ignition difficult, you are advised to repeat the ignition procedure, turning the knob to “minimum” (💡).

  • Set the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate positions are available between the "+" (💧) and "-" (💧) settings on the control knob.
  • To turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position.
  • If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob to "0", wait one minute and then try to ignite again.

PANS

For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the dimensions given below :

* Double ring ∅ 18 cm and more
* Very fast ∅ 18 cm and more
* Fast ∅ from 16 to 18 cm
* Semi-fast ∅ 12 cm

  • Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.
  • Aluminium pans may leave marks on the enamelled pan support. These marks can easily be removed with a damp cloth and a light abrasive product.

SOME TIPS ....

  • Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact,
    it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.
  • To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.
  • Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.

THE ELECTRICAL HOT-PLATE

THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE:

CANDY PLAS 640 - THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE: - 1

the power is controlled by the position of the knob (see table below).

The electric hotplates with a red dot in the middle is with automatic protection; there is an internal these hotplates which automatically reduces the abnormal temperature is detected (for example, g empty).

THE HIGHLIGHT HOTPLATE: used with glass/ceramic products; it has a metallic laminate which spreads the heat uniformly over the whole area. It heats up in three seconds and allows even and delicate cooking as well as high temperature cooking; power is regulated by the position of the knob (see table below).

BEFORE USING THE ELECTRICAL HOT PLATE :

- Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature to allow the protective coating to harden.

HOW TO USE :

  • For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.
  • An indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is operating.
  • To switch off, turn the knob back to point "0".

DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS :

Below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be able to choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and requirements.

The residual heat indicator lights up when the hilight zone temperature is 60^ C and above. It will stay on, even if the zone is switched off, until the surface has cooled down. It will switch off when the temperature of the surface falls below 60^ C.

47-8MediumSteamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fish...
59-10HighMore intense cooking, omelettes, steaks...
611-12Very HighSteaks, chops, frying...

SOME TIPS ....

To get the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :

  • Use thick, flat-based cooking vessel :
    a completely flat base prevents overheating to certain parts which causes food to stick. Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.
  • Make sure that the base of the pan is dry :
    this will prevent sticking to the hot plate caused by moisture.
  • Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate,
    otherwise energy will be wasted and any spillages will cause the hot plate to become stained and will become difficult to maintain (rust, etc.).
  • Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it: it can be damaged, which would reduce its efficiency.
  • When cooking with fat or oil, never leave the hob unattented, very hot fats and oils can quickly catch fire.
  • When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium foil.

Caution :

the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make sure that small children are kept well away from the hob.

CLEANING

Before cleaning or removing the hob, it is imperative to :

  • disconnect the hob from the mains supply,
  • let all parts of the hob cool down.

Never use :

harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp objects to clean the hob.

• ENAMELLED STEEL HOB:

when the hob has cooled completely, simply clean the enamelled hob with soapy water, rinse and wipe with a clean dry cloth. If you clean the enamelled hob when it is hot, you may tarnish it.
• STAINLESS STEEL:

clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. You can

use a special product to clean stainless steel which is available from various retail outlets.

MAINTENANCE OF THE VITROCERAMIC or GLASS HOB

  • Place a few drops of specially formulated hob cleaning solution on the hob surface.
  • Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
  • Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains :

  • place a few more drops of the hob cleaner on to the surface,
  • scrape with a scraper*, holding it at an angle of 30^ to the hob, until the stains disappear.
  • wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
  • repeat the operation if necessary.

A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at an angle of 30^ . Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.

Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and wear.

Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of the hob cleaner solution. Rinse and wipe up.

THE KNOBS -

Only clean with soapy water, rinse and dry well.

THE GAS BURNERS

For cleaning, it is recommended to remove all greasy or burnt deposits with ammonia based products or usual cleaning products.

  • The burner cap : it is simply placed on the burner. Remove the pan support, the burner cap and clean it with a slightly soapy sponge. Rinse and dry. The enamelled steel burner cap: do not immerse it in cold water when it is hot, this will prevent the enamel cracking as a result of thermal shock. The brass finish burner cap: on using, the burner cap surface looses its brightness. For current cleaning, it is recommended to remove all greasy or burnt deposits with ammoniacal products or usual cleaning products. To recove brass brightness, use a special cleaning product for copper, brass or bronze currently sold in stores. Do not use this specific product for cleaning of the knobs.

- The burner body : regular cleaning will maintain the appliance original appearance. Clean with a soapy sponge, rinse and dry. If the holes become clogged, brush the caps using soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.

When re-assembling the burners, make sure that the burner caps and the burners themselves are dry and after, seat them correctly.

Be careful not to let any water get into the burners.

THE PAN SUPPORT

Depending on the model, the pan supports are made of chrome steel, enamelled steel or cast-iron.

They are simply placed on the hob. Lift them up to remove them. For the maintenance of the pan support, never use harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp objects as this will cause irreparable damage to the enamel.

When the pan support is cold, simply clean with soapy water, rinse and dry with a clean cloth.

THE HOT PLATE

To burn off any cooking deposits heat the hob for a short time. After switching off and the hot plate has cooled down, wipe it with absorbent paper. It is important that the hot plate is protected from moisture.

Do not use abrasive products.

To maintain and preserve its appearance, rub a drop of neutral oil, such as sewing machine oil into the surface of the hot plate.

The hot plate should always be dry, or slightly greasy. If it is not to be used for some time, remove any rust using emery paper followed by a suitable commercially available product for the maintenance of soil hotplates.

COVER

The cover is available as optional accessory.

Before closing the cover, to protect it from excessive temperature changes, always wait until the burners or plates have completely cooled down.

Any spillages should be removed from the cover before opening it.

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 identified:

switch off the appliance — do not tamper with it — call the Aftercare Service Centre. The appliance is supplied with a guarantee certificate that ensures that it will be repaired free of charge at the Service Centre.

Chromed grids and burners

Chromed grids and burners have the tendency to dark with the use.

This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn't jeopardize absolutely the functionality of the hob.

In anycase from our after sales service centre the spare parts are available.
