Lighting the burners

The control knobs on these models incorporate the ignition and safety device. To light the

burners, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the required knob.

2. Keep the knob pressed down for 3-4 seconds to allow the sparks to ignite the gas as it

comes out the flame-spreader and to allow the thermocouple to heat up.

3. After 3-4 seconds, release the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to adjust the flame to the

required setting. If the flame goes out, repeat the operation from step 1.

Circle : cock closed;

large flame : maximum gas delivery;

small flame : minimum gas delivery.

For better efficiency and lower gas consumption, use pots of suitable width for the

burners, making sure the flame does not extend beyond the edges (respect the table).

Automatic safety valve

This safety device automatically closes the gas cock in the event one of the burners goes

out accidentally as a result of draughts, a pot spilling over, or a temporary interruption of

the gas supply. This device intervenes approximately 30 seconds after the flame has gone

Hob cleaning and maintenance

- Before installation, make sure the gas supply is compatible with appliance

specifications. The type of gas for which the appliance is arranged is specified on the

dataplate on the bottom of the drawer. This appliance is not connected to a fume

extraction device and must be installed and connected in compliance with the current

regulations. Pay particular attention to the applicable regulations on ventilation. The

use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is

installed. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated: keep natural ventilation openings

open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood with exhaust duct). In

case of intensive or prolonged use of the appliance, it may be necessary to provide

additional ventilation, for example by opening a window, or more efficient ventilation,

by increasing the extractor hood speed.

The manufacturer declines any liability for damage or injury due to: incorrect installation,

improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.15

Detailed below are all the procedures to be followed for the installation of your appliance,

including gas and electrical connections. These procedures must be carried out exclusively

by a qualified technician, in accordance with current regulations, since installation by an

unqualified person may constitute a health hazard.

The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or animals or damage

to property resulting from failure to comply with these regulations. The gas

connection must conform to the current legislation in the country at the time of

Preparing the cabinet

This handbook refers to a class 3 built-in hob.

Prepare the opening in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 1 in case of

combined installation of more than one cooking hob, or according to the diagram in fig. 2

in case of single installation.

In any case, it is essential to make the opening in the most convenient position, bearing in

mind that the gas pipe must not come into contact with the sides of a possible oven under

In case of combined installation of more than one cooking hob it is advisable to make an

separate opening for reach hob, leaving a 50 mm strip between each opening. In this way

the hobs will be next to each other without any spaces.

To fit the hobs with spaces between them (recommended min. 10 mm), the width of the

strip on the cabinet must be 50 mm plus the space required between hobs.

Fitting in the cabinet

After carrying out the necessary connections, position the sealing strip all around the cut-

out and fit the hob. Carefully tighten the fixing hooks. Remove any excess sealing strip.

These are “Y”-type appliances regarding protection rating against the risk of fire, and can

therefore be installed near wooden walls higher than the tops in which they is installed,

provided the following minimum distances from the edges of the appliances are

maintained: 50 mm for side walls, 30 mm for the rear wall; any wall units above must be at

least 700 mm from the hob.

If there are drawers under the cooking hob, it is advisable to insert a separator plate (with

suitable openings made for the electrical/gas connections) so that the items in the drawer

do not come into contact with the bottom part of the hob.

Opening for 2 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 550mm (“B”=600mm)

Opening for 3 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 850mm (“B”=900mm)

Opening for 4 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 1150mm (“B”=1200mm)16

Connection to the gas supply

Check that the appliance is suited to the gas type

before connecting it to the gas supply in

conformance with current legislation.

If this is not the case, carry out the operations

described in the paragraph on “replacing injectors”

(page 17). For a liquid gas supply use pressure

regulators which comply with current legislation.

Connection to the gas supply may be made in two ways:

A Connect the gas hob using a 12 mm diameter rigid copper pipe, as shown in fig. 2. To

prevent any risk of leaks, use the rubber gasket supplied.

B Connect the hob using a continuous-surface steel hose. Once again, in this case,

prevent any risk of leaks by using the gasket supplied. Note that installation must be

carried out in compliance with current regulations pertaining to gas installations.

Having completed the connection to the gas supply, use soapy water to check the

connection for leaks.

Ventilation of installation area

Make sure that the room where the appliance is installed has permanent ventilation

openings on an outside wall or ventilation ducts, in order to ensure adequate air flow as

prescribed by current legislation. All openings must:

1. have a minimum working section of 100 cm

2. be made in such a way as prevents them being blocked in any manner, from inside or outside;

3. be provided with suitable protection to ensure the size of the ventilation opening is not

4. be positioned at such a height from floor level as not to interfere with the discharge of

If openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room, the latter must have direct

ventilation and must not be:

2. a common area of the building in question

3. a fire hazard area

Before testing and inspecting the appliance check that the adjacent room, which shares

the wall in which the ventilation opening has been made, does not have low pressure due

to another user; moreover, ensure adequate air flow between the two rooms is

guaranteed by permanent, unobstructed openings, for example by increasing the gap

between the bottom of the door and the floor. Discharge of combustion products must be

guaranteed by means of a hood which, in turn, must be connected to a chimney, a flue, or

directly to the outside.

To access the box containing the functional parts, proceed as follows:

• remove the grids, burner caps and flame-spreaders;

• remove the knobs, pulling them off their pins;

• remove the screws that fix the burners to the hob;

Electrical connection

The FRANKE cooking hob comes with a 3-core power cable with free terminals.

If the hob is permanently connected to the power supply, install a circuit breaker having a

contact opening distance (at least 3 mm) that allows complete disconnection in the

conditions of overvoltage category III. Make sure:

a)the plug and socket are suitable for a 16A current

b)both are easily accessible and positioned so that no live part can be accessed when

inserting or removing the plug

c)the plug can be inserted without difficulty

d) that when the plug is inserted, the hob is not resting on it when installed in the cabinet

e)the terminals of two appliances are not connected to the same plug

f) if the power cable needs to be replaced use a 3 x 1.5 mm2 cable type H05VV-F

g )to respect the polarities of the free terminals

(Brown=Live Blue=Neutral Yellow/Green=Earth)

NB: Make sure the characteristics of your household

electrical system (voltage, maximum power and current)

are compatible with those of your FRANKE hob.

NB: All the appliances are factory-set for G20 natural gas (methane).

If a different type of gas is to be used, change the injectors as follows:

1. remove the grids, burner caps and flame-spreaders;

2. unscrew and remove the injectors and replace them with those supplied, suitable for

the gas supply, making sure the marking matches that given in the table (page 18);

3. refit the flame-spreaders, burner caps and grids;

4. these burners do not require air adjustment.

When converting the appliance to a different type of gas, place the corresponding self-

adhesive label (supplied as an accessory) in the special space on the dataplate. For

operation with LPG. (G30 or G31), the minimum flame screw must be fully screwed

down. These appliances are supplied in cat. II 2H3+

Minimum flame adjustment

- Remove the knobs (push-on type).

- Light the burners and adjust the minimum flame by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce

the flame and anticlockwise to increase it (fig. 3).

The screwdriver for adjustment is supplied with

Appliance cat. II 2H3+
