Your hob in complete safety

Using your hob in complete safety

We have designed your hob for private domestic use.

With a view to the constant improvement of our products, we reserve the right to make any changes in their technical, functional or aesthetic characteristics as a result of technical evolution.

These hobs are designed exclusively for the cooking of drinks and foodstuffs. These products do not contain any asbestos-based component parts.

You must always keep an eye on your cooking.

Please read the instructions before installing and using this appliance.

Should a crack appear on the glass, disconnect your appliance immediately and contact your After-Sales Service.

Never leave any CLEANING ou INFLAMMABLE products in the cupboard or drawer beneath your hob (aerosols or other pressurised cans, papers, recipe books, etc.).

Using a gas-powered hob produces both heat and humidity in the room where it is used. Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated.

Disconnect your hob from both electrical and gas supplies before carrying out any maintenance operations.

For safety reasons, do not forget to close the main gas valve for built in gas lines or the valve on the top of your butane/propane gas cylinder.

If a knob is difficult to turn, DO NOT FORCE IT. Call up your installer.

The EC mark of conformity can be found on all these hobs.

YOUR HOB IS DELIVERED PRE-SET FOR USE WITH NATURAL TOWN GAS.

This appliance should be installed by a qualified technician / installer.

Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment conditions of the appliance are compatible.

The adjustment conditions are stated on a label in the wallet and also on the packaging.

Since this appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device, it must be installed in accordance with current installation regulations and used in a well-ventilated place. Particular attention should be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

On this subject, combustion can take place only if oxygen from the air is present, so this air must be constantly renewed and the combustion products must be evacuated (a minimum air input of 2 m3/hour per kw of gas energy is required).

E.g.: 65 cm model - 4 gas burners :

Total power :

$$ \begin{array}{l} 1, 5 + 2, 3 + 3, 1 + 0, 8 5 = 7, 7 5 \mathrm {k W}. \ 7, 7 5 \mathrm {k W} \times 2 = 1 5, 5 \mathrm {m} 3 / \mathrm {h} \text {m i n i m u m} \ \end{array} $$

These hobs have type X protection (in accordance with standard EN 60.335.2.6) against overheating of cupboards and Class 3 for installation itself (in accordance with standard EN 30.1.1).

Fitting recommendations (cont'd)

The hob must be built into the worktop of a support cupboard. This worktop must be at least 3cm thick and heat-resistant or else coated with a heat resistant material.

A side-clearance of at least 30~cm should be left to the right and left of the hob. A tall cupboard or partition too close to the hob would hinder free movement of kitchen utensils.

If a horizontal partition is put under the hob, it must be placed between 10 and 15cm from the bottom of the worktop. In any case, do not keep any sprays or pressurized containers in the compartment which could be just under the hob.

Place the hob unit into the opening in the worktop by carefully pulling it towards you.

Put the burners, caps and pan grates back into position.

Connect the hob power cable to your kitchen electricity supply (See "Electrical Connections" for your hob).

If you want, you can fix the hob in position on its four corners, using the four lugs and screws provided (See diagram).

Only use the holes provided.

Stop screwing when the lug starts to bend.

Do not use a power screwdriver.

Gas connections

- Preliminary remarks

If the hob is to be installed above an oven or if other nearby heating appliances risk heating and damaging the gas hose then it is essential that a rigid pipe be installed instead. If a flexible hose is used (in the case of butane gas) then it must not be installed in a place where it may be in contact with a moving part of the kitchen unit or a place likely to get cluttered.

Access to the whole length of the connection hose must be possible and the gas hose must be replaced before its use before date (indicated on the hose). Whatever means of connections is chosen, make sure that it is gas sound after installation by using soapy-water.

Installing your hob in all simplicity

Gas connections (Cont'd)

Possible connections

TOWN GAS (NATURAL GAS)OR AIR-PROPANE / AIR-BUTANE.

One of the 3 following connections must be used:

• connection with a rigid pipe (gas standard G1/2).

The connection should be made at the end of the elbow seal on the appliance,

or - connection with a reinforced, braided, flexible gas hose with threaded connectors (fig. A on the preceding page).

You may also use a "Gazinox" type, stainless steel flexible tube available from your local distributor,

or - connection with a flexible gas hose with threaded connectors (fig. B on the preceding page).

These hoses must not exceed 2 metres in length and their entire length must be accessible.

Gas connections (Cont'd)

Possible connections

BOTTLED OR TANKED GAS (BUTANE/PROPANE).

For the user's safety, we advise the connection to be made with a rigid pipe if this is possible, or with a reinforced, braided, flexible gas hose (maximum length 2 metres) (fig. A).

For an existing installation, where it is not possible to fit a reinforced, braided, flexible gas hose, the connection can be made with a flexible gas hose (maximum length 2 metres), with two jubilee clips: one on the connector (fig. B), and the other on the pressure regulator, and a gas proof washer should be fitted between the connector and the elbow seal on the hob.

You will find the sealing washer and the adaptor in the wallet delivered with the unit.

How to use your gas burners?

To set off the safety system, keep the knob pressed completely down for a few seconds after the flame has lit up.

• Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted with a safety device, which cuts the gas off automatically, if ever the flame goes out by accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).
  The safety device for the burners is in the form of a metal rod (a thermocouple) beside to the flame.
• Your hob is fitted with an automatic lighting system integrated into the control knobs.

• Should there be an electricity cut, you can always light a burner using a match and by pressing down on the control knob at the same time.

• Choose the ring you need using the symbols at the side of each control knob; (E.g. back right-hand burner).

For lighting a burner:
- Press down on the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to maximum flame height. The lighter for the burner will spark as long as you keep the control knob pressed down.
- Set the flame height as required.

The gas tap is closed when in the "O" position.

• The flames on the burner are smaller near the grate supports to avoid any damage being done to the enamel.

• The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not harm the quality of cooking in any way.

• If ever your flame goes out, relight it as per normal procedure.

Using your hob in all simplicity

How to use the timer (Model with 4 rings and a double crown burner)

The back right-hand burner is equipped with a timer (maximum cooking time 99 minutes). It can, however, be used independently.

Light the back right-hand burner (see previous page).
- Set it to the flame height you require.
- Press the + or - touch control

on the timer.

As soon as you put your finger on one of these two controls, the timer starts and the cooking time (in minutes) scrolls down on the display.

• Keep your finger on the touch control until the cooking time you require is displayed.

When the time is up, the burner will go out and the timer will blink 00. An intermittent beep will sound.

To switch it off, touch any of the timer controls.

• Turn the back right-hand burner control knob back to "O".
  To change the cooking time, you can press the + or - controls.
• To stop the timer during cooking, put your finger on the + and - touch controls at the same time, until the timer display goes out.

The burner will stay alight without the timer.

Should there be a power cut when the back right-hand burner is being used with the timer, the timer cuts itself off when the power supply comes back on.

When cooking time has over, the gas supply to the burner is cut off immediately and the burner goes out.

Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner?

Recommended pan sizes:

Extra burner	Extra burner	Medium burner	Small burner
double-crown	Extra fast	fast	Semi-fast	auxiliary burner
20 to 30 cm	18 to 28 cm	16 to 26 cm	12 to 20 cm	8 to 14 cm
	Fry-ups Bringing to the boil	Searing	Sauces, Reheating	Simmering

Adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the side of your pan.

Do not use a pan with a convex or concave bottom.

Do not leave the gas on beneath an empty pan.
Do not use pans whose handles may partially cover control knobs.

Do not use heat regulators, toasters, steel meat grills or stew-pots that touch the glass-top.

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a mechanically ventilated hood).

• Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required).

E.g.: for 65 cm hob with 4 gas-rings
Total power: 1.5 + 2.3 + 3.1 + 0.85 = 7.75 kW . 7.75 kW × 2 = 16.5 m^3/h per hour minimum flow-rate.

How to use the radiant and halogen rings

• For starting cooking, turn the control knob to the most suitable position for your dish (see cooking table at the end of the guide). The ring "power on" light comes on immediately.
• The residual heat light comes on under the ceramic top as soon as the heating zone reaches a high temperature.
• Finish off your cooking by turning the control knob back to "O" just before the end of cooking time; this enables you to take advantage of all the residual heat.
• The power level of the rings automatically adjusts (a bright light fading to almost nothing) so that they maintain an even output temperature to suit your cooking.

• Residual heat indicator As long as a cooking zone stays hot, the light on the display that corresponds to the zone in question stays lit. When a cooking zone is switched off, but is still hot, the residual heat indicator will blink.

• Do not put any plastic or aluminium object on the heating surface if it is still hot.

• You will get best results by using a saucepan with a diameter close to the diameter drawn on the ceramic top.

• Wipe the underneath of your pan before use.

• The ceramic surface is highly resistant, but not completely unbreakable. Avoid bumping it with saucepans.
• Avoid dragging any saucepans on the hob top as, in the long run, this is liable to wear out the signs on the ceramic-top.

• Do not touch the heating zone before the residual heat light has gone out. (Even after a prolonged power cut the temperature of the rings may still be quite high).

• Do not stare for any length of time at the halogen lamps in the cooking zones.

• Should a crack appear on the ceramic top, disconnect your appliance immediately and contact your After-Sales Service.

Using your hob in all simplicity

Which pans work best on a radiant/halogen ring?

Always use a pan of suitable size: the diameter of the pan must be equal to or larger than the diameter of the radiant ring.

• Use recipients with flat bottoms that are in perfect contact with the heating surface:
• Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or "sandwich" base,
• Aluminium with a thick (smooth) base,
• Enamelled steel.
• The bottom surfaces of recipients in poor condition may hold or transport substances liable to stain or scratch the hob surface.
• Make sure that the underneath of your pan and the heating surface are clean and dry.
• Use a recipient that is big enough to contain all the foodstuffs to be cooked and choose a setting that is not liable to cause any overflowing or splashing.
• The most suitable recipients give the most successful results.

• Use high-walled saucepans for dishes containing a lot of liquid, so that nothing is liable to overflow when boiling.

• The bottom of the saucepan and the heating zone should be the same size.

• Make sure your saucepan is in the middle of the heating zone.
• Heating zones should always be clean, for dirty heating zones and saucepan bottoms not only deteriorate the heating surface but also increase electricity consumption.

• Use the residual heat as well as possible by turning off the heat 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
• Never place any food wrapped in aluminium or plastic recipients on the heating zone.

If ever you connect any domestic appliance to a plug near the hob, make sure that its cable does not come into contact with any hot zones.

How to use the electric hotplate

To heat it up

Turn the knob to the point that corresponds to the cooking you want to do (See cooking table at the end of the instruction booklet). The electric hotplate 'on' light comes on.

The first time you use the electric hotplate, leave it on for 3 minutes at maximum temperature without using a pan to harden the surface coating.

Which pans are best adapted for use on the electric hotplate?

• Which pans are to be used on the electric hotplate?

Use pans with flat bottoms that are in complete contact with the electric hot-plate surface:

• Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or "sandwich" base,
• Aluminium with a thick (smooth) base,
• Enamelled steel.

Finish off your cooking with the knob turned to (O). This lets you take advantage of the heat that has accumulated in the electric hotplate.
- Whenever possible use a cover on your pans to avoid losing any heat by evaporation.

Always use a pan of suitable size: the diameter of the pan must be larger than the diameter of the electric hotplate.

• Whenever possible use a cover on your pans to avoid losing any heat by evaporation.

• The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in the "O" position.

How to look after your hob?

Keeping your hob in good condition is easy if you clean it before it is completely cold. Even so, never clean it when it is in use. Put all the electric and gas control knobs at zero.

	HOW TO PROCEED		ACCESSORIES TO BE USED
Looking after sparkers and injectors	- If ever the sparkers get dirty, clean them with a stiff non-metallic brush. -The gas injectors are in the centre of each burner in the form of a "pot". Make sure not to block them up partially when cleaning the hob, as this will considerably reduce the performance of your gas-rings.	Injector Nut Spharker thermocouple	- Small hard-bristled brush.
Looking after the grills and gas burners	- Use a non-abrasive cream for removing any persistent stains. Then rinse with clean water. Dry each burner element carefully before re-lighting your hob.	- Non-abrasive cream - Household sponge.
Looking after your glass top	- Clean it with hot water, then wipe dry. Use special ceramic glass cleaning products for any persistent stains.	- Household sponge - Special ceramic glass products E.g. Cera-Clen
Looking after the electric hotplate	- The electric hotplate is protected by a black surface coating. Therefore, avoid using any abrasive products. After use, wipe it clean with an oily cloth. If ever a electric hotplate starts to rust, remove the rust with (with emery paper or similar) and re-coat the electric hotplate with a high-temperature renovating product to be found at your local distributor.	- Household sponge - Special ceramic glass products E.g. Cera-Clen

• Should a crack appear on the glass-top, disconnect your appliance immediately and contact your After-Sales Service.

Minor troubleshooting

You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly ......... this does not necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points

IF YOU REALIZE THAT

Lighting the burners:

There is no sparking when the control knobs or buttons are pressed down.

When you only press down one control knob all the burners spark.

Sparking takes place but the burners do not light up.

If your hob is fitted with a gas safety device and the flames go out as soon as you release the control knob.

In the low position the flames go out or are too high.

Flames are irregular.

The knobs get hot during cooking.

• Check the electrical connections on the hob.
• Check that the sparkers are clean.
• Check that the burners are clean and in position.
• If the hob is fixed to the worktop, make sure that the fixing clamps have not been twisted.
• Check that the sealing rings have not come out of place.

This is normal. The lighter system is centralised, and all the burners spark at the same time.

• Check that the gas inlet pipe has not been squashed.
• Check that the gas inlet pipe tube is less than 2m long.
• Check that the main gas tap is open.
• If you use gas tanks or cylinders check that they are not empty.
• If you have just installed your hob or changed a gas cylinder, keep the control knob wide open for a few seconds so that the gas can get through.
• Make sure the injector is not blocked up. If this is the case, clear it with a safety pin.

• Light up your gas burner before putting a pan on it.

• Push the control knob down completely and keep it under pressure for a few seconds after the burner has lit.

• Check that the burner parts are in place.
• Check that the sealing rings under the control knobs have not come out of place.
• Avoid any severe drafts in the room.

• Light the burner before putting your pan on it.

• Avoid any severe drafts in the room.

• Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating" chapter).

Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with natural gas. Check the adjustment of the low power screw (See paragraph "Changing the type of gas supply").

• Check that the burners and injectors are clean and assembled correctly.
• Check you have enough gas in your gas cylinders.

Use small pans on the burners next to the control knobs. Large pans are to be put on the large burners furthest away from the knobs. Put the pan in place with the burner in the middle. The pan should not be above the control knobs.

Your appliance has a fault in it.
