HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let's save energy! And this is how you can do it:

■ Use appropriate cookware: flat and thick bottom pots and pans will reduce power consumption by up to one third. Do not forget to use lid to reduce power consumption by four times!
■ Select properly sized cookware: make sure the diameter of the pan or pot is not smaller than the size of the burner.
- Keep the burner surfaces and the cookware bottoms clean: Residues hinder heat transfer, and lasting contamination can be removed only by extremely harmful chemicals. Particularly, the flame slots of the burners must be kept clean at all times.
■ Do not put up the cookware lids unless really necessary.
- Do not install the cooktop adjacently to fridges / freezers: this increases power consumption of the cooling appliances.

The cooktop is equipped with an R1/2" connecting pipe for gas connection. If the appliance is intended for use with LPG (propane – butane), a ∅ 8 x 1 mm hose coupling is threaded onto the connector.

Make sure the gas connecting pipe does not come in contact with the metal components of the cooktop.

All the couplings and joints must be tightly sealed.

Note. After connecting the appliance check all fittings for gas leaks e.g. with soapy water.

Do not check the fittings with open fire!

Please make sure you have read and understood the entire operating manual. Do follow the instructions to ensure safe and effective operation of your cooktop.

NOTE: The appliance uses gas, which is a flammable and explosive substance. Thus, it is necessary for the cooktop to be connected to a gas network which supplies the gas type for which the appliance is suitable.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.

Please check the type plate for the information concerning the suitable gas type for your appliance.

Converting the unit to another gas type

Only a licensed and authorised technician may carry out this job.

If the available gas type is different from that provided in the type plate of the appliance (G 20 (GZ 50) 20 mbar, the burner nozzles should be replaced and flame adjusted.

NOTE

The cooktops delivered by the supplier come with the burners which are suitable for burning the type of gas which is quoted in the type plate and in the guarantee certificate. The type plate is fitted at the bottom panel of the appliance. The following must be carried out if converting to another gas type is required:

● nozzles must be replaced (see assembling table),
● reduced valve flow rate must be adjusted.

Converting the unit to another gas type

Gas type	Nozzle diameter
	Small Medium Large WOK
2H G20/20mbar 0,72 2	x 0,97 1,15 1,35
3B/P G30/37mbar 0,5 2	x 0,65 0,85 0,95

Replacement of burner nozzle: loosen the nozzle with a dedicated wrench (7). Fit the new nozzle, suitable for the required gas type (see table above for reference).

After you have converted the cooktop to another gas type, make sure you have placed a label containing that information on the appliance.

Valve adjustment

Valve adjustment should be done with the control knob set at Burner ON saving flame position. Remove the knob, and adjust the flame with a tiny screwdriver (see fig. 7 below).

Pure electrical circuit lines without any symbols

Checking the adjusted flame: heat the burner at full open position for 10 minutes. Then turn the knob into the saving setting. The flame should not extinguish nor move to the nozzle. If it goes off or moves over to the nozzle, readjust the valves.

Note.

It is up to the used to request converting the appliance to another gas type if so required by the local conditions at a licensed gas fitter / service.

OPERATION

Flame selection

At the burners adjusted correctly, the flames should be light blue, and the inner cone should be clearly visible. The size of flame depends on the position of the related burner control knob.

See also fig. 8 for various operating options (flame size selection); the burner should be set at a large flame during the initial phase of cooking to bring the food to boiling, and then the knob should be turned to the saving flame position to maintain the cooking. It is also possible to adjust the flame size stepless.

It is prohibited to adjust the flame in the range between the Burner OFF and Burner ON large flame positions.

Significant quantities of energy can be saved if the appliance is used correctly, parameters set correctly, and appropriate cookware is used. The savings can be as follows:

● Up to 60 per cent savings when proper pots are used,

● Up to 60 per cent savings when the unit is operated correctly and the suitable flame size is chosen.

It is a prerequisite for efficient and energy-saving operation of the cooktop that the burners are kept clean at all times (in particular the flame slots and nozzles).

Suitable pans

Selection of vessels

Bear in mind that the diameter of the pot must be at least slightly larger than that of the flame. Cover the pots with lids. It is recommended to use pots the diameters of which exceed the diameters of the flame by 2.5 – 3 times;

● For the small burner, the most suitable pot will be 90-140 mm in diameter,
● For the medium burner, the most suitable pot will be 140-220 mm in diameter,
● For the large burner, the most suitable pot will be 200-240 mm in diameter,
For the WOK burner, the most suitable pot will be 220-260 mm in diameter,
● The height of the pot should not be larger than its diameter.
