! 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 appliance must expel combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (Fig. 1).
• If a hood cannot be fitted, an electric fan can be mounted either on a window or outside wall and must be switched on at the same time as the appliance.

In a chimney stack or branched flue, (exclusively for cooking appliances)

Fig.1

Directly to the Outside

Kitchen ventilation

The amount of air entering the room where the appliance is installed must be sufficient for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating the room. Air must be taken in naturally through permanent air vents placed on the outside walls of the room or through single or branching collective ventilation ducts that comply with the UNI-CIG 7129 regulation.

Air must be taken directly from the outside and far from sources of pollution.

The aeration vent must comply with the following requirements (Fig. 2A):

• It must have a total clear passage cross-section of at least 6cm^2 for every kW of the appliance's rated heating capacity, with a minimum of 100cm^2 (the heating capacity is indicated on the rating plate).

• It must be made in such a way that the openings on the inside and outside of the wall cannot be obstructed.

• It must be protected with grates, wire mesh, etc. so as to not reduce the above-mentioned usable cross-section.
• It must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

Fig.2A

Fig.2B

The air inflow may also come from an adjacent room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, inflammable materials' warehouses, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the national standards in force. Air from adjacent rooms must pass freely to the room to be ventilated through permanent air vents with cross-section at least equal to that indicated above. These vents may also be created by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (Fig. 2B). If an electric fan is used for extracting combustion products, the ventilation opening must be increased in relation to its maximum flow rate. The electric fan's flow rate should be sufficient to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3 ÷ 5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged and intensive use of the appliance may require extra aeration, e.g. by means of an open window or through more efficient aeration, by increasing the extraction power of the electric fan, if installed. Appliances that are not equipped with flame failure safety devices can only be used in rooms with increased ventilation that have a minimum cross-section aeration opening of 200~cm^2 (Italian Ministerial Decree 21-04-94).

Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) sinks to the floor, as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents in order to allow gas to escape outside in the event of a gas leak. As a result, LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas which are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder currently being used should be kept in the room. It must not be exposed to direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50^ .

Hob installation

All the necessary precautions must be taken in order to install the appliance in conformity with current accident-prevention regulations (CEI-UNI-CIG) relating to gas and electrical connections.

To ensure that hobs installed in kitchen cabinets operate correctly, the minimum distances shown in Fig. 3 should be observed. All adjacent surfaces and the back wall should also be able to withstand an overheating temperature of 65^ .

Fitting the hob to the cabinet

The hob must be fitted to the worktop in the following manner:

• In order to fix the hob to the cabinet, use the special brackets ("S") provided and fit them as shown in the detail (Fig. 5B).
• Before fitting the hob to the worktop, position the seal "G" provided along the perimeter of the hob, as shown in Fig. 5A.
• The installation cavity dimensions should match those indicated in Fig. 4.

Fig.4

Fig.5B

N.B.: to maximise the efficiency of all maintenance operations, the area under the hob must be easily accessible once the hob has been installed (i.e. do not use closed modules).

Built-in appliances

Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. Therefore, they can be installed adjacent to cabinets whose height does not exceed that of the worktop. The following precautions must be taken for installing the hob correctly:

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and higher than the worktop must be at least 50~mm from the edge of the hob.
• Cooker hoods must be installed in accordance with the requirements outlined in their respective instruction manuals and, in any case, at a minimum distance of 700mm from the hob.

(see picture).

• Place wall cabinets which are adjacent to the cooker hood at a minimum height of 540~mm from the hob (see picture).

If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700 mm above the worktop

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.

Gas connection

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:

• Turn the tap to the low flame position.

• 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 (Fig. 6).
• 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.
• 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.
• 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).

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum setting.

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up.

When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise towards the maximum setting.

! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the "0" position).

Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

• Use cookware which is suited to each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flames from extending beyond the base of the pans, and so that the edges of the pans themselves do not reach over the perimeter of the hob.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

Burner	ø Pan Diameter (cm)
A.Auxiliary	6 – 14
B.Semi-rapid	15 – 20
