This appliance has been designed for non-professional, i.e. domestic, use.

Appropriate checks and tests have ensured that, even in the most extreme conditions, the temperatures reached are within acceptable limits. The Hob is thermally insulated (in line with Regulation EN) and may be installed: next to panels higher than the worktop, for type «Y», or next to panels not higher than the worktop for type «X». See technical characteristics table «Degree of protection».

Instructions for the installer

Suitable location

A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and himidity in the area in which it is installed. For this reason you should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all natural air passages open or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue (Fig. 3-4). Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such the opening of a window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if you have one.

If your appliance is not fitted with a thermocouple (safety device) the ventilation hole shown in Fig. 3 should be at least 200 cm ^4 .

min. 100 cm² Fig. 3

If a hood cannot be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or window as long there are air vents in the area.

The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5 times every hour.

The installer should follow the relevant national standards.

Electrical connection

Check the data on the rating plate, located on the outside of the unit, to ensure that the supply and input voltage are suitable.

Before connection, check the earthing system.

By Law, this appliance must be earthed. If this regulation is not complied with, the Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused to persons or property. If a plug is not already attached, fit a plug appropriate to the load indicated on the rating plate. The earth wire is coloured yellow/green.

Where the Hob is connected direct to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker must be fitted with at least a 3 mm contact spacing when in the open position.

It if is necessary to replace the connecting cable, the earth wire (yellow/green) must, by law, be approximately 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires. Rubber insulated cable type H05RR-F must be used.

The cables should be 1.5 mm ^2 section for products with electrically heated elements,

and 0,75 mm ^2 for others products. Also, the maximum external diameter of the cable should not be greater than 7 mm.

Declaration of compliance. The parts of this equipment which are designed to come into contact with foodstuffs, comply with EEC directive 89/109.

Appliance complying with European directives 89/336/EEC, 90/396/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent modifications.

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. 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 «Adaption 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 6.

— Connection to a rigid pipe (see instruction on page 10)

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 10)

The junction of the gas pipe with the appliance is a 1/2" gas tapered thread connection. 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 moving 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 page 6).

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.

REGULATING THE BURNERS

Flame Combustion

For maximum efficiency from the burners, the correct combustion of the flame is necessary. 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.

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 4 mm 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.

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

First turn the gas off to the appliance. Remove the sealing screw from the regulators test point at the rear of the appliance and fit the hose of the Manometer to it.

Turn the gas on and light the Wok Burner and one Medium Burner at maximum setting. Check the pressure and adjust at the regulator if necessary to the settings in the table below or on the Data plate.

For Propane Gas adjust at the regulator on the cylinder - Turn regulator adjusting screw clockwise increases pressure whilst anti-clockwise decreases pressure. Refit the test point sealing screw when finished.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 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 equipped with electronic ignition, simply press down and turn the control knob to the position marked with a star *.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to the control setting required.

The ignition is by repetitive spark generation; in case the burner does not light at once, keep the knob in the ignition position for a maximum of 5 seconds.

If the burner does not ignite in this time, switch off the control knob and repeat the operation again.

As a safety device, some models automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished. In this case, push and rotate the control knob until the ★ position and keep it held down for approx 5-6 seconds.

The burner will then remain lit.

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:

Small from 6 to 12 cm.

— Medium from 12 to 18 cm. — Large from 18 to 24 cm.

— Double ring from 24 to 28 cm. — Maxi from 24 to 28 cm.

— Fish from 26 to 28 cm.;

Rectangular pan max 210x370 - min. 150x290 mm.

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 extinguished, 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.

Mijorose burner: the heat diffusing plate, to be used only on the rear right hand burner, is designed to provide a particularly delicate cooking facility. When this facility is not required, the burner can be used in the conventional way.

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, sauces, 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.

YES NO NO NO NO Fig. 9

THE GAS HOBS WITH ONE ELECTRIC PLATE ARE FITTED WITH A PAN SUPPORT TO BE USED FOR RESTING PNA WHEN THE PLATE IS NOT IN USE.
WHEN THE HOTPLATE IS SWITCHED ON THE PAN SUPPORT MUST BE LIFTED UP TO ALLOW THE PAN TO BE PLACED IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE HOTPLATE.
