OUR CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Our products are packaged using non polluting materials, that are therefore compatible with the en- vironment and recyclable. We request your cooperation in making sure that packaging materials are24 ENGLISH GENERAL WARNINGS disposed of correctly. Contact your reseller or competent organizations in your area for information about waste collection centres, recycling and disposal. DO NOT ABBANDON THE PACKAGING MATERIAL OR PARTS OF IT. THEY MAY CREATE A SUFFOCATION DANGER FOR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY PLASTIC BAGS. Even your old appliance must be disposed of properly, this will contribute to avoiding negative envi- ronmental and health consequences, that would occur as a result of improper disposal. IMPORTANT: this appliance cannot be treated as household waste. Deliver the old appliance to the local company that is authorised to collect appliances that are no longer in use. A proper disposal makes an intelligent recovery of precious materials. It is also necessary to cut the cable connecting to the power mains and remove it along with the plug.

4. Know your appliance

All drawings relating to the Foster cooker hobs manufactured today, are at the end of this manual, Gas cooker hobs summary [Page 213]. We ask that you recognise the drawing of the cooker hob you have purchased to familiarise with the main technical-functional features. For research practicality the cooker hobs are distinguished in two macro-families: t Traditional built-in cooker hobs: “8 mm edge”, “Q4 edge” and “semi-flush edge”; t Flush built-in cooker hobs: “flush-mount” edge. Regardless of the type of edge, the first group has a simple traditional built-in hole. The cooker hobs with "flush-mount" edge have a more detailed drawing to enable realisation of the "made to measure" hole, or having a step necessary to house the edge of the cooker hub so it is "flush" with the worktop. Numbers in correspondence with the burners are present in all drawings. Such numbers identify the type of burner. To know the powers of the burners of the gas cooker hub you purchased, refer to read- ing the powers table depending on the type of gas used [Page 213].25 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS ENGLISH

5. First installation

Do not leave packaging material waste unguarded in the household environment. Separate the various packaging waste materials and deliver them to the closest selective waste collection centres. In order to remove all manufacturing residues, we recommend cleaning the appliance. For further information on cleaning see Chapter 15 [Page 38].

6. Positioning in the work top

This built-in cooker hob is of Class 3. The following interventions require masonry and/or carpentry work and must there- fore be completed by a competent technician. Installation can be completed on dif- ferent materials, such as masonry, metal, solid wood and plastic laminated wood, as long as it is heat resistant (T 100°C).

6.1 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a traditional built-in

cooker hob (8 mm edge, Q4 edge, semi-flush edge) Cut an opening on the top surface of the cabinet with the dimensions and position indicated here below and represented in the drawing [Fig. 2]. The dimensions of the built-in hole are shown in the Gas cooker hobs sum- mary - models with traditional built- in [Page 213], in correspondence of the drawing of the purchased cooker hob.

Fig. 2: cutting the hole for the built-in26 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS t The distance of the cooker hob from the back edge must be at least 50mm; t The distance of the cooker hob from the walls that exceed worktop height must be at least 100 mm; t Should a hood be installed above the hob, see the hood assembly instructions which provide the correct distance to be respected.

min.650 Fig. 3: cooker hob distances t Carefully position the supplied in- sulating gasket along the external perimeter of the hole created on the worktop, trying to make it adhere along the entire surface by slightly pressing it by hand [Fig. 4]. t Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brack- ets to fasten the hob to the structure. Refer to the “Fastening the cook- er hob to the cabinet” paragraph [Page 27]. Fig. 4: positioning the insulating gasket

6.2 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a flush built-in cooker

hob (flush-mount edge) This type of appliance requires milling on the 1.5 mm deep worktop, which measurements are indicated in the top drawing, identifiable in the section Gas cooker hobs summary - models with "flush" built-in [Page 213]. The step is necessary to house the cooker hub edge so that it is "flush" with the worktop.27 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS t Accurately clean milling. t Before positioning the top, lay the sealer gasket provided on the entire milling surface [ Fig. 5]. t Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brackets to fasten the hob to the structure. Re- fer to the “Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet” paragraph [Page 27]. Fig. 5: positioning the insulating gasket A constant light of at least 0.5 mm is envisioned between the external dimensions of the stainless steel platform and the internal dimensions of the lowering that must be respected during assembly. The temperatures that develop during use of the cooker hub induce a slight elongation on the stainless steel platform, therefore, the envisioned light enables avoiding any interferences. With regard to the kitchen worktop, the temperatures induced by the cooker hub - whether in the section and on the contact top - are very contained. We recommend assembling the cooker hubs with flush-mount edge on water-repel- lent materials.

7. Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet

Fasten the supplied hooks to the brackets under the appliance, as shown here below. The supplied hooks make it possible to fasten to a top whose thickness is between 30 and 40 mm. IMPORTANT: t For fastening this product to the support structure, the use of mechanical or electric screwdrivers is not recommended and only moderate pressure must be exerted by hands to the clamping parts. t The surface under the appliance must be at at least 5 mm from the bottom of it and must have an opening for passing gas and electric conduit that is at least 50x50 mm. t If this product is installed above an oven, it must be equipped with a cooling fan.28 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS

8. Connecting the cooker hob to the gas network

It is necessary for the gas supply system to conform to local regulations in force. It is necessary to verify that local distribution conditions (gas nature and pressure) and the appliance adjustment status are compatible. IMPORTANT: If the appliance is installed above an oven, it is necessary to avoid passing the gas tube behind the oven in order to avoid overheating. The connection to the gas sup- ply network can be completed us- ing rigid copper piping or with a continuous flexible steel pipe on the wall, according to established regulations that are parts of the regu- lations in force [Fig. 6]. In any case every pipe connected to the gas supply network must be equipped with a safety intercep- tion valve. stainless steel flexible pipecooker hob fittinggasketcopper rigid pipeFig. 6: connection to the gas supply network31 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Always place the gasket between the hob fitting and the connection pipe. t If using a stainless steel flexible pipe, it must be installed so that it does not come in contact with any part of the cabinet, but passes through an unoccupied area where its entire length can be inspected. Maximum extension of the flexible pipe must be less than 2 metres. t The gas fitting is the type with a 1/2” gas ISO R7 tapered thread. After connecting the appliance to the gas supply network always verify fittings seal using a soapy solution. VERIFYING THE SEAL USING NAKED FLAMES IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED. The cooker hob is tested for methane gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20mbar. For supplying with other types of gas, see the Adapting to the different types of gas table [Page 32]

8.1 Connection to liquid gas

Use a pressure regulator and realise connection on cylinder in compliance with the prescriptions established by the current Standards. Ensure the supply pressure respects the values indicated in the table Adapting to different types of gasses [Page 32]. In this case also, connection must be carried out with copper rigid pipe or with stainless steel flexible pipe with continuous wall.

IMPORTANT: The appliance can only be installed in rooms that are permanently ventilated, as required by standards in force.32 ENGLISH INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS

10. Discharging combustion products

(exhaust) This appliance is not connected to a combustion-byproduct evacuation system. It must be installed in accordance with the existent regulations. Please pay particular attention to the regulations concerning ventilation. Discharge of combustion products must be ensured through hoods connected to an efficient natural draught flue, or through a forced exhaust. An efficient exhaust system requires an accurate design by a specialist that is ap- proved for this work, following positions and distances contained in regulations. IMPORTANT: At the end of the intervention the installer must issue a conformity certificate.

14.1 Lighting the burners

Before lighting hob burners, make sure that the flame spreading crowns are po- sitioned in their seat with the respective caps. parallel and centredtiltednot centredtiltedFig. 9: crown position

brown blue yellow-green36 ENGLISH USER INSTRUCTIONS The new burners called "Series III" are assem- bled on certain cooker hobs. The lock system between cover (B) and flame spreading (A) guarantees perfect positioning and large cleaning ability. Fig. 10: positioning of the series III burner The upper cover (B) of the burners must be placed in opposite seat with the two intro- ductions notches in correspondence of the two cylinders below (C) and tighten clock- wise. The associated burner is indicated near each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electric ignition device. It is sufficient to press the knob and rotate it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until it is lit. If it does not ignite within the first 15sec- onds, bring the knob on [chiuso] (closed) and do not try to re-ignite for 60 seconds. Once it is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few sec- onds in order for thermocouple to heat up. It is possible that the burner shuts off when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple was not sufficiently heated. Wait a few seconds and re- peat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for a little longer. Once the burner is lit, it is possible to adjust the flame based on need.

14.2 Practical recommendations for burner use

For better burner yield, and minimum gas consumption, it is necessary to use flat and regular bottom pots, equipped with a cover and proportioned to the burner, in order to avoid that the flame goes up their sides (see the “Pots diameter” paragraph [Page 37]). When boiling, reduce the flame as much as needed to make sure that the liquid does not overflow. Fig. 14: pots use During cooking, all containers or steak pans, also to avoid burns or damage to the hob, must not exceed the measurements indicated in the paragraph “Pot diameter” [Page 37]). Do not heat empty pots or pans, because they may overheat. When using greases or oils, pay careful attention because, when overheating, they may catch on fire. If a pan containing greases or oil catches on fire, do not pour water on it because it may cause burns; extinguish the fire by covering the pan with a wet cloth and disconnect the appliance from the power mains.

t Auxiliary burner: from 6 to 14 cm t Semi-quick burner: from 15 to 20 cm t Quick burner: from 21 to 26 cm t Double crown, triple crown, dual burners: from 24 to 28 cm During operation, the cooker hob generates heat and humidity in the room it is in- stalled in. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated. A prolonged used of the ap- pliance with some or all burners may require additional ventilation such as opening a window and/or a greater suction power from the exhaust hood.38 ENGLISH USER INSTRUCTIONS

15. Cleaning and maintenance

Do not use a steam jet to clean the appliance. Before any intervention it is necessary to disengage the appliance power supply. Avoid leaving acid or alkaline (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato juice,...) substances on the steel, grids and other parts of the appliance.

15.1 Cleaning the stainless steel

In order to properly preserve the stainless steel, it is necessary to regularly clean it after each use, once it has cooled down.

15.1.1 Daily ordinary cleaning

In order to clean and preserve stainless steel surfaces, only use specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine based acid substances. Mode of use: pour the product on a damp cloth and pass on the surface. Take off the product thor- oughly with a clean damp cloth.

15.1.2 Food stains or residue

Absolutely avoid using metal sponges and sharp scrapers to avoid damaging the sur- faces. Use normal products for steel, non abrasives, using wood or plastic material tools if needed. Carefully rinse and dry using a soft cloth or a deerskin. We recommend using Foster Steel Clean to clean the steel; for information on where it can be obtained, contact the after-sales technical assistance centre. Do not use chemical detergents such as oven sprays or stain removers.

15.2 Cleaning gas components

The grids, caps and flame spreading crowns are removable in order to simplify cleaning: wash then in hot water with non abrasive detergent, making sure that any crud is removed and dry them imme- diately using a cloth. Re-assemble the caps on their crowns. The cast iron components, like the grids and the burners, must never be washed in dishwashers. For the ignition glow plugs to work correctly, the thermocouples must always be clean. Frequently check them and, if necessary, clean using a wet cloth and then dry them. Any dry residue must be removed using a wood toothpick or a needle. The flame-diffusers and burner caps must be cleaned regularly at the end of each use. For normal dirt and to shine the flame-diffuser use Foster Steel Clean crème with a microfiber cloth. Apply following the direction of the aluminium brushing.39 ENGLISH USER INSTRUCTIONS

15.3 Cleaning of enameled top-sheets

In order to properly maintain the enameled top-sheets it is necessary to clean them regularly at the end of each use, after having waited for it to cool down. To clean the enamel always use only a damp microfiber cloth and neutral soap. Do not use products containing abrasives or acid substances based on chlorine. Imperatively avoid to use metallic sponges or sharp objects, so as not to damage the surface.

15.4 Cleaning of knobs

The knobs should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water, and dried carefully. In order to facilitate the cleaning it is possible to extract the knobs by pulling them upwards. Do not use aggressive cleaning products containing alcohol, chlorides or abrasive products.
