Tip
This Guide to Installation and Use is valid for several models. Minor differences in details and fittings may emerge between your appliance and the descriptions provided.
Your appliance should be built in the surface of a support cabinet that is a minimum of 3 cm thick, made of a material that resists heat or that is covered with such a material.
So as not to disturb movement of cooking utensils, there should not be to the right or left or back any obstacle within 30 cm of the hob. If a horizontal divider wall is positioned under the hob, it should be placed between 10 cm and 15 cm away from the top of the work top. In any event, do not store aerosol cans or containers under pressure in any compartment that may exist under the hob (See "Safety Recommendations" chapter).
- FLUSH MOUNTING
Follow the diagram (Fig. 01).
- Remove the pan supports, the burner covers and burner heads; noting their positions.
- Turn the hob over and carefully place it on top of the opening in the cabinet so as not to damage the knobs and spark plugs.
- To ensure a tight seal between the housing and the work top, glue the foam seal along the exterior edge of the housing before installing the hob (Fig. 02).
• TIPS FOR FLUSH MOUNTING
Mounting brackets
A
Place your hob in the opening of the support cabinet, carefully pulling the table toward you. Reposition the burner heads, burner covers and pan supports on the hob.
Connect your hob to the gas supply (See "Gas Connection" chapter) and to the power supply (See "Electrical Connection" chapter). If you wish, you can immobilise the hob using the four mounting brackets delivered with a screw (Fig. 02) to attach them to the four corners of the housing. You must use the holes provided for this purpose, according to the diagram above (Fig. 01).
Stop screwing when the mounting bracket starts to become deformed.
Do not use a screwdriver.
• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your hob is sold with a power cable (type H05V2V2F - T90, cross-section 1 mm²) with three conductors (phase + ground + neutral). After-sales service reference: 77X3767 (6470.1516). It must be connected to a 220-240 V\~ monophase grid via a standardised CEI 60083 electrical outlet with phase + ground + neutral or an all-pole cut-off device with a minimum distance between contact openings of 3.5 mm.
The plug of the electrical outlet must be accessible after installation.

information for your appliance, we recommend that you note them on the "After-Sales Service Department and Customer Relations" page (this page also explains to you where to find this information on your appliance).
• GAS CONNECTION
• Preliminary comments
If your hob is installed above an oven or if proximity to other heating elements poses a threat of overheating the connection, you absolutely must insulate the cable in a rigid pipe.
If a hose or soft pipe (in the case of butane gas) is used, it should not come into contact with a moving part of the cabinet, nor should it pass through a location that may become blocked.
The gas connection must be installed in compliance with applicable regulations in the country of installation.
• Gas distributed by pipe; natural gas
For your safety, you must choose from the three following connection options:
- Connection with a rigid pipe made from copper and with screw-on mechanical connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark) Make the connection directly to the end of the elbow fitted on the appliance.
- Connection with a wavy metal hose (stainless steel) with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with NF D 36-121 standard) whose service life is unlimited (Fig. A).
— Connection with a reinforced rubber hose with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with the NF D 36-103 standard) whose service life is 10 years (Fig. B).
Warning
When connecting your hob's gas
supply, if you have to change the direction of the elbow fitted on the appliance:
①Change the gasket.
② Screw on the elbow's nut, careful not to exceed a torque of 17 N.m.
• Gas supplied by tank or cylinder (butane/propane)
For your safety, you must choose from the three following connection options:
- Connection with a rigid pipe made from copper and with screw-on mechanical connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark). Make the connection directly to the end of the elbow fitted on the appliance
- Connection with a wavy metal hose (stainless steel) with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with NF D 36-125 standard) whose service life is unlimited (Fig. 01).
— Connection with a reinforced rubber hose with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with the XP D 36-112 standard) whose service life is 10 years (Fig. 02).
In an existing system, a soft pipe fitted with clamps whose service (compliant with the XP D 36-110 standard) whose service life is five years may be used. It is necessary in this case to use an adaptor without forgetting to fit a sealing washer between the adaptor and the hob's bent (Fig. 03).
Tip
You can obtain the adaptor and the sealer washer from your After-Sales Service Department.
Warning
Screw on the adaptor with a torque not to exceed 25 N.m.
A Sealing washer
B Adaptor (not supplied)
C Clamp (not provided)
Warning
All soft pipes and hoses whose service life is limited must have a maximum length of two meters and must be accessible along their entire length. They must be replaced before the end of their service life (indicated on the pipe).
Regardless of the means of connection chosen, ensure that the connection is air tight, after installation, with soapy water.
• CHANGING THE GAS SUPPLY

The burner safety measure is a metal rod located directly to the side of the flame.
Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted with a safety system that, in the event of accidental flame extinction (spills, draughts, etc.), quickly and automatically cuts the gas supply and prevents it from being released.
Each burner is supplied by a tap that is opened when you press in the knob and turn it in a counterclockwise direction.
The “O” point corresponds to a closed tap.
- Select the desired burner by referring to the symbols located near the knobs (e.g. front right burner)
Your hob is fitted with a burner-lighting system built into the knobs.
—To light a burner, press on the knob and turn it in a counterclockwise direction to the maximum setting
- Continue to press on the knob to produce a series of sparks until the burner lights.
The setting for more moderate flame intensities are between the symbol and the symbol.
Tip
In order to ensure the proper lighting of the double crown burner, we suggest that you light it before placing cookware on it.
When a knob becomes difficult to turn, do not force it. Request an emergency service call from the installer.
Warning
Hold the knob completely pressed down for a few seconds after the flame appears to trigger the safety system.
