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.

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 installation.

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. I 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 the hob.

COMBINED INSTALLATION

SINGLE INSTALLATION fig. 2

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)

In case of combined installation of more than one cooking hob it is advisable to make a separate opening for each 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 cutout and fit the hob. Carefully tighten the fixing hooks. Remove any excess sealing strip.

Important

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 are 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.

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.

For United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland

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 cm²; 2. be made in such a way as to prevent 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 reduced; 4. be positioned at such a height from floor level as not to interfere with the discharge of combustion fumes.

If openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room, the latter must have direct ventilation and must not be:

1. a bedroom; 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.

Accessing the hob

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;
• lift 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.

Replacing injectors

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:

I. 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.

Important

Furniture preparation

These instructions apply to built-in gas hobs of class 3. Make the cutout in the worktop according to the dimensions shown in Fig. 1 for combined installation of several hobs according to the scheme shown in Fig. 2, or for single hob installation.

In any case, it is necessary to make the cutout in the most convenient place, taking into account that the gas supply pipe must not touch the walls of the oven, which may be installed under the hob.

COMBINED INSTALLATION

SINGLE INSTALLATION

Dimensions for installation of 2 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 550 mm (“B” = 600 mm)

Dimensions for installation of 3 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 850 mm (“B” = 900 mm)

Dimensions for installation of 4 hobs Domino FHM “A” = 1150 mm (“B” = 1200 mm)

When installing several panels together, it is recommended to perform not a single hole for their installation, but several holes, the number of which should correspond to the number of panels to be installed, leaving a gap of 50 mm between them. In this case, the steam panels will appear installed tightly against each other, and there will be no gap between them.

If you want to leave some distance between the steam panels, it is recommended that the minimum value be 10 mm, and the width of the separating strip should be equal to 5 mm plus the distance you want to leave between the panels.

Installing kitchen furniture

After completing the connection, run the sealant along the edge of the opening and insert the steam panel. Carefully tightening, tighten the fasteners. Remove the protruding parts of the sealing tape.

Attention

These devices have a degree of fire resistance. Therefore, they can be installed near the walls of wooden furniture located next to the hob (and above it), into which these devices are built, provided that the distances from the edge of the device are not less than: 50 mm for the side wall and 30 mm for the rear wall. The distance from the hanging cabinet (if any) to the steam panel must be at least 700 mm. It should be noted that if there are shelves for accessories above the steam panel, it is advisable to install a separating partition (with appropriate holes for electrical and gas connections) so that the accessories do not touch the lower parts of the steam panel.

Access to the steam panel

To access the internal parts of the panel, proceed as follows:

• Remove the grilles, overlays, and the burner divider;
• Remove the knobs from the corresponding rods;
• Remove the screws securing the burners to the panel;
• Lift the panel.

Connection to the electrical network

The FRANKE steam panel is supplied with a three-pole power cable, the cores of which have free ends.

In the case of a fixed connection of the steam panel to the electrical network, it is necessary to provide a disconnection device with a distance between open contacts (at least 3 mm) that ensures complete disconnection of the device from the network under overvoltage category III. Check the following:

a) The plug and socket must be rated for a current of 16 A. b) The plug and socket must be easily accessible and installed so as to prevent contact with live parts when inserting or disconnecting the plug. c) The plug must insert without the use of force. d) After installing the plug in the socket, the hob must not rest on it when built into furniture. e) Only one appliance must be connected to a single socket. f) If the power cord is replaced, a cable of type H05VV-F with a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm2 must be used.

g) When connecting the free ends, the correct polarity must be observed (brown = phase, blue = neutral, yellow-green = earth).

NOTE: Make sure that the characteristics

of your home electrical system (voltage, maximum power and current)

match the rated characteristics of the purchased FRANKE hob.
