• 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°C. ! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips). Fitting the appliance ! 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. Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob: In a chimney stack or branched flue. (exclusively for cooking appliances) Directly to the Outside

• 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 2 m3/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 Examples of ventilation holes for comburant air. blockages. Adjacent Room Room to be Vented Enlarging the ventilation slot between window and floor.

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.

• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance of 700 mm from the hob. 600mm min.

• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 540 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). Installation Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to guarantee proper installation in compliance with the applicable norms in force regarding accident-prevention for electrical connection. For the correct operation of the appliance when built into the cabinet, it is vital that the minimum distances illustrated in Fig. 1 be respected. The hob features a type Y degree of protection against overheating in compliance with norms. All surfaces adjacent to the cabinet and the back panel should be made of materials resistant to a temperature of 65°C.

• 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.

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 50 mm from the edge of the hob. 540mm min. ! 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: 700mm min.

Securing the appliance to the cabinet There are three different groups of appliance as far as installation is concerned:

1- Built-in hobs to be slotted in (Class 3 - see figure 2,

detail H1). In this case it is necessary to make a hole in the worktop whose measurements match those of the hob. The measurement at the side should be reduced by 2 cm so as to ensure that 1 cm of the perimeter of the hob overlaps with and rests on top of the supporting surface. To slot in the hob flush with the worktop, the cut-out on this supporting surface must be lowered (see figure 3a), so that both the edge of the hob and the seal under it can be positioned there. Before fitting the hob to the worktop, position the seal G provided along the perimeter of the hob, as illustrated in figure 3b. Brackets for fixing hobs to the cabinet have been provided, and these should be fitted as shown in detail S (fig.3a).

2- Built-in hobs (Class 3) with edges lower than 58 mm

(see figure 2, detail H2)(fig 3c). To install this type of hob, a hole large enough to accommodate the whole lower casing of the appliance must be made on the worktop intended to be under the hob. Remember to leave a gap of at least 1 cm between the lower casing and the worktop around the whole perimeter of the appliance (the underside of the casing can, however, touch the surface below it). To fit the appliances, follow the instructions given above in point 1 or use any supplementary instruction leaflet that is provided in special cases.

3- Sit-on hobs (Class 1) with edges higher than 58 mm

(see figure 2, detail H3). In this case, the lower

casing of the hob does not protrude further than the edge of the appliance. Even when the hob is resting on the worktop, it will suffice to leave space for the gas supply tube and electricity supply cable. To fit this type of hob, follow the instructions below (fig. 4):

• Fix the two screws provided "A" at a distance from the back panel as shown in figure 4, leaving the heads of the screws sticking out of the wood by 1.5 mm.
• Hook the hob onto the two screws "A" and push it towards the back.
• Fix the appliance to the cabinet at the rear, using the two brackets "B" and the four screws "C" (these are all provided). X mm X mm Fig. 4 N.B.: to make maintenance operations more efficient, the area around the hob must be easily accessible after it has been installed (i.e. there are no completely shutoff elements). 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 3 mm 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 circuitbreaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C. ! 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. ! The yellow-green wire should be 2 or 3 cm longer than the other wires.

• Check that the appliance is set for the type of gas available and then connect it to the mains gas piping or the gas cylinder in compliance with current regulations and standards.
• This appliance is designed and set to work with the gas indicated on the label situated on the actual hob. If the gas supply is other than the type for which the appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding nozzles (provided), following instructions given in the paragraph “Adaptation to different types of gas”.
• For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and longer life of the appliance, make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications, otherwise install a special pressure regulator on the supply pipe in compliance with current standards and regulations.
• Connect in such a way that the appliance is subjected to no strain whatsoever. Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at the rear of the appliance to the right (Fig.5), or flexible steel pipe in compliance with the standards in force, which must not exceed 2000 mm in length. Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be replaced. Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the standards in force, must be inserted when connecting to a liquid gas supply (in a cylinder). 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

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner

(fig.6), 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

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. Replacing the nozzles on separate “double flame “ burners:

1. remove the grids and slide the burners from their

housings. The burner consists of 2 separate parts (see figure);

2. unscrew the burers with a 7 mm wrench spanner. The

internal burner has a nozzle, the external burner has two (of the same size). Replace the nozzle with models suited to the new type of gas (see table 1).

3. replace all the components by repeating the steps in

• 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 (fig.7)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).

Description of the appliance

• GAS BURNERS differ in size and power. Use the diameter of the cookware to choose the most appropriate burner to cook with.
• Control Knobs for GAS BURNERS adjust the power or the size of the flame.
• GAS BURNER ignition enables a specific burner to be lit automatically.
• SAFETY DEVICE stops the gas flow if the flame is accidentally extinguished.

Ignition for GAS BURNERS Start-up and use ! The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric hotplate is shown on every knob. Gas burners Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the corresponding control knob:

Off Maximum Minimum 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. ! Some models have a Double Flame burner. In this case, to activate it, simply start by turning the knob symbol, then press so that it is aligned with the it all the way in and hold it in this position for approximately 6 seconds, until the automatic device keeping the flame alight has heated up. ! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it. operates the The knob marked by the symbol external burner; operates the The knob marked by the symbol internal burner. To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting . The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the knob is pressed in. 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. The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as follows: Off Maximum Minimum To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “”/“” position). Practical advice on using the burners To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover. To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “”/“” position). The “separate double flame” burner* This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either together or separately. Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a very high power which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners. Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum. To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its full potential, never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the same time. Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the internal burner. There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate double flame” burners.

• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum. Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm) A. Auxiliary

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, "Burner and Nozzle Specifications". ! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used.
