INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

HOB OPERATION

The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and a thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out during operation.

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.

Each burner can be regulated with the corresponding control knob "M" by using one of the following settings:

The symbols near the knobs show the position of the relative burner on the hob.

Toignite a burner, proceed as follows:

• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully and activate the automatic gas ignition by pushing at the same time the button "P" marked with the symbol
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation.

For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.

To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off position "●".

Important:

• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the knobs are in the off position "●". The main gas supply cut-off cock should also be closed.

Using the burners:

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base (see following table). When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

Burner	Diameter of the pan in cm.
Auxiliary A	from 6 to 14
Semi-rapid B	from 15 to 20
Rapid C	from 21 to 30
Triple ring D	from 24 to 30

The hob is fitted with a pan reducing support (fig.1), which should only be used on the auxiliary burner "A"

fig.3

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and technical maintenance operations correctly and in compliance with current regulations and standards. Important: the appliance should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should be used should it be necessary to keep the appliance connected to the electricity supply.

The cookers have the following technical specifications:

Category: II 2H3+ Class: 1

For trouble-free operation of appliances installed in housing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.3 should be observed. Adjacent surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able to withstand an overheating temperature of 65^ .

Prior to installing the cooker, 90 ÷ 130 mm high supporting feet (provided) should be fitted into the holes to be found in the bottom of the cooker (fig.4). These feet are screw-adjustable and whenever necessary should be used to make sure the cooker stands level.

fig.4

Positioning

This appliance may only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current standards. The following requirements must be observed:

• The appliance must discharge combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (fig.5).
• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the appliance.

In a chimney stack or branched flue Directly to the outside (exclusively for cooking appliances)

Kitchen ventilation

The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room. Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures made in the outside walls of the room or through single or branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with current standards and regulations. The air must be taken directly from the outside, from an area far from sources of pollution.

The ventilation aperture must have the following characteristics (fig.6A):

• total free cross section of passage of at least 6cm^2 for every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, 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 aperture, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh, etc. in such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced:
• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

Detail A Adjacent Room to be
room ventilated
Examples of ventilation holes Enlarging the ventilation slot for comburant air between window and floor
fig. 6A fig. 6B

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, fuel stores, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the current standards and regulations. Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may be made to pass freely through permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (fig.6B).

If an electric fan is used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3 ÷ 5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an open window or a more efficient ventilation system by increasing the extraction power of the electric fan if installed. Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level, in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements/rooms below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder in use in the room and connected far from heat sources which could raise its temperature to above 50^ .

Gas supply connection

• 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 different from the type for which the appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding nozzles (provided), following the 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 table 1 "burner and nozzle 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 must be used for connecting to the threaded cylindrical 1/2''G male flexible fitting situated in the rear right-side of the appliance (fig.7), or a flexible steel tube which must not exceed 2000~mm in length. Connection must be made in compliance with the regulations in force.

Should it be necessary to rotate the fitting, definitely replace the gasket (provided with the appliance).

When the installation has been completed, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution (never use a flame). Check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Check that the natural gas supply is sufficient for the appliance when all the burners are in use.

fig.7

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 the cooker to a different type of gas

If the appliance is to be converted for use with a type of gas different from the one for which it was set in the factory (indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

• remove the grids and the burners.
• unscrew the nozzles "A" (fig.8), using a 7 mm socket spanner and replace them according to the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications" with ones which are suitable for the new type of gas.
• re-assemble all the components.
• on completing the operation, replace the old rating label with the one showing the new type of gas; the sticker is available from our Service Centres.

fig.8

fig.9

Adjusting the low flame

• Put the tap to the low flame position (the burner should be lit);
• Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated to the side of the tap stem (fig. 9) until the flame is small yet steady, using a screwdriver (loosening the screw increases the height of the flame, tightening it decreases it).

N.B.: the adjusting screw must be fully screwed in for liquid gas.

• having obtained the low flame setting required and with the burner lit, abruptly change the position of the knob several times from minimum to maximum and vice versa and check that the flame does not go out.
• Refit the tap knobs.
