! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with British Standard Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following requirements must be observed:
- The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.

• The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2m^3/h per kW of installed power.

The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm²; the opening must not be vulnerable to any type of blockages.

The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50^ .

Fitting the appliance

Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 600 ~mm from the edge of the hob.
• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance of 650~mm from the hob.

• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 420~mm from the hob (see figure).

If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700 mm above the hob (see figure).

Hobs installation (mod. PP...TF...):

The dimensions of the cutout for the appliance must be those indicated in the figure 1. Also a wooden panel should be installed beneath the hob as insulation, positioning it at a minimum distance of 20mm from the hob housing.

Fig. 1

Before fastening the cooktop in place, position the seal (supplied) along the perimeter of the countertop, as shown in the figure 2.

Fig. 2

Clamps are provided to fasten the cooktop to counters measuring from 20 to 40mm in thickness. To fasten the cooktop securely, it is recommended that all the clamps be used.

Hobs installation (mod. PP...TF...):

Before fastening the cooktop in place, position the seal (supplied) along the perimeter of the countertop, as shown in the figure 3.

fig.3

Installation of flush-fit hobs

An insulating wooden panel should be fitted beneath the hob, positioned at a minimum of 20~mm from the hob underside. This wooden panel must be removable in order to allow for any maintenance operations beneath the hob. To slot in the hob flush with the worktop, it is necessary to lower the area just outside the cut-out for the hob as illustrated in figure 4.

To fix hobs to the cabinet, some brackets have been provided to fit on as illustrated in figure 5.

fig.5

Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 × 560 ~mm (see diagrams).

! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a cooling ventilation system.

Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate.

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations

(the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50^ .

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
- The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
- The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.
- The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.
- The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gasconnection

The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current national regulations. Before carrying out the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph "Adapting to different types of gas." When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in Table 1 ("Burner and nozzle specifications"). This will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)

! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance.

There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.

These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000mm when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.

! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.

Checking the tightness of the connection

! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

Adapting to different types of gas

To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 "Burner and nozzle characteristics").
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in the reverse order.
4. Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. Sticker are available from any of our Service Centres.
   Adjusting the burners' primary air:

Does not require adjusting.

• Setting the burners to minimum:

1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.

2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.

3. Having adjusted the flame to the required low setting, while the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several times, checking that the flame does not go out.

4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple) fitted. If the device fails to work when the burners are set to the low flame setting, increase this low flame setting using the adjusting screw.
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals on the by-passes using sealing wax or a similar substance.

If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
! Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. Stickers are available from any of our Service Centres.
! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe (in order to comply with current national regulations).
