Frequently Asked Questions - PL2D40W CANDY

What type of gas to use with the CANDY PL2D40W hob?

The hob is supplied set for natural gas (G20/20 mbar). It can be adapted to butane gas (G30) or propane (G31) by changing the injectors and adjusting the carburation. See the consumption table in the manual.

How to light the burners?

For electronic ignition burners, press and turn the knob counterclockwise to the '★' position. If the flame does not light within 5 seconds, return the knob to 0 and try again. For models with safety, hold the knob depressed for 5-6 seconds after lighting.

Which pans to use on this hob?

Use pans with a flat bottom and diameter adapted to the burner: for example, front right burner: 6-12 cm, front left: 24-26 cm, rear left: 12-18 cm, rear right: 18-24 cm. Avoid concave or convex bottoms.

How to clean the burners and the hob?

Unplug the appliance and wait for complete cooling. Clean the burners with soapy water and dry them thoroughly. For enameled surfaces, use warm soapy water or a non-corrosive detergent. Never use abrasives, acids, or bleach.

The flame is yellow or unstable, what to do?

A yellow or soft flame indicates lack of air. Adjust carburation by loosening the locking screw of the air adjustment tube (Fig. 6) and adjusting the position to obtain a clean flame without yellow tips. Refer to the adjustment table.

How to install the hob in the worktop?

The cut-out must be 60x50 cm. The appliance is fixed with supplied fixing claws. Apply the sealing gasket around the hob before embedding. Keep a distance of at least 150 mm from vertical walls and 10 mm under the hob for ventilation.

What to do if a burner does not ignite?

Check that the plug is properly connected and the gas supply is open. If the electronic igniter does not work, clean the spark plug. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

How to adapt the hob for a different gas (butane)?

Replace the injectors with those corresponding to the new gas (see consumption table). Use the supplied hex key to unscrew the injectors. Then adjust the minimum flame on each burner using the adjustment screw (Fig. 8). Label the hob with the new gas type.

Is there a leak at the gas connection?

After installation, check seals with soapy water (never use a flame). If bubbles appear, tighten the connections. Use two wrenches to avoid twisting the pipes. The flexible hose must not exceed 2 meters and must not touch moving parts.

How to obtain spare parts (grills, burners)?

Spare parts are available on request from your dealer or CANDY after-sales service. Specify the model PL2D40W. The chrome grills and burners may darken with use, which is normal.

SUPPLY

Gas connection

The rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is designed to be used. It is possible to use other types of gas after carrying out some simple modifications. (See the instructions in the following paragraphs).

a) Connection to the gas supply

• connection to the mains gas supply or gas cylinder should be carried out according to the relevant national standards, after having checked that it is regulated for the type of gas with which it will be supplied. If it is not correctly regulated follow the instructions in the paragraph entitled «Ademption for different types of gas». For liquid gas (cylinder gas) use pressure regulators which comply with the relevant national standards.

N.B.: for safe operation, economic use of energy and to ensure greater durability of the appliance, make sure that the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table on page 38

- Connection to a rigid pipe (see instruction on page 44)

Connection to the gas supply should be done without putting any kind of stress on the appliance.

- Connection to a flexible steel pipe (see instructions on page 44)

The junction of the gas pipe with the appliance is a 1/2" gas tapered thread connec

tion. Use only pipes, washers and sealing washers which comply with the relevant national standards.

The fitting of these pipes should be done to that their maximum length, when fully extended, should not exceed 2000 mm.

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 movlng part of the cabinet (eg, a drawer) and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.

Adapting the hob to different types of gas

To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the following instructions:
remove the grids and burners
insert the hexagonal spanner (supplied) into the burner support (Fig. 5)
- unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used (see Table of gas consumption)
— carry out regulation of the burner.

Regulating the burners

For maximum efficiency from the burners, the correct combustion of the flame is necessary (see table of gas consumptions quota "X"). A good flame must be well aligned and without yellow tips (Fig. 7/B). If there is insufficient air, the flame will be uneven with yellow tips (Fig. 7/A). If there is too much air, the flame will be very short and bright (Fig. 7/C). In these cases the combustion

must be adjusted by re-fitting the carburation tube to the Venturi (where there is insufficient air) or removing the carburation tube (in the case of too much air). To position the carburation tube, the fixing screws must be loosened, and retightened when the satisfactory combustion is obtained.

For dimensions «X» see table of gas consumption

Regulating the minimum flame

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).

Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted as in Fig. 8. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise increases the flow - Use this adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4mm in length and then replace the control knob.

If GPL (cylinder) gas is being used, turn the screw clockwise right to the end of the travel of the by-pass.

Screws regulating (for different models)

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

USE OF HOB

User instructions

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be dangerous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from improper use.

Using the gas Burner

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.

If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.

For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the symbol.

• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.

For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the symbol.

The ignition generator is a repetitive discharge type.

If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat the operation.

For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.

ATTENTION: When cleaning the hob, take care to replace the burners correctly, this will ensure that the ignition point is not blocked.

GENERAL ADVICE

For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as follows:

— Front right burner

from 6 to 12cm

— Front left burner

from 24 to 26~cm

• Back left burner

from 12 to 18~cm

• Back right burner

from 18 to 24~cm

See fig. 1b pag. 34.

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.

WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguued, turn the knob to the off position and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.

To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing the lid down.

Use of electric hotplates (electric hotplates)

For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimise energy consumption, the following recommendations should be noted.

POWER OUTPUT - ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
Setting
0	OFF
1	VERY LOW	Warming dishes & melting butter and chocolate
2	LOW	Simmering, sauscs, stews, milk puddings, poached eggs
3	MODERATE	Vegetables, frozen foods, boiling water
4	MEDIUM	Fresh Vegetables, pasta, fish, pancakes.
5	HIGH	Omelettes, steaks
6	VERY HIGH	Chops

A neon indicator light adjacent to the control knob will glow when the electric plate is in use.

Only pans which have smooth flat bases should be used on the electric hotplates. The size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and never smaller (see Fig. 9). The base of the pan should be dry and spillages should be avoided. Empty pans should not be left on the plates, nor should the plates left switched on without a pan.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug from the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.

When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution. Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil. Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnished or stainless steel sections.

The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their original shine, use a household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry the burners and replace.

It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.
