Connect the appliance to the gas supply in compliance with the current regulations, only after making sure it is arranged for the type of gas to be used. Otherwise, carry out the operations described in the paragraph "Replacing injectors". For liquid gas use pressure regulators complying with the current regulations.

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

A. Connect the gas hob using a 12 mm diameter rigid copper pipe (3). To ensure a good seal, use the elastomer gasket supplied as an accessory (1). B. Connect the hob using a continuous-surface flexible steel tube (2). Also in this case, to ensure a good seal use the gasket supplied as an accessory (1). The maximum length of the hose is 2 linear metres.

Important: if a stainless steel hose is used, it must be installed so as not to touch any mobile part of the furniture. It must pass through an area where there are no obstructions and where it is possible to inspect it on all its length.

After connection to the gas supply light up the burners and turn the knobs from max position to minimum position to check flame stability.

After carrying out the connection, use soapy water to check for any leaks.

For United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

Electrical connection

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

Ensure the following:

- The characteristics of your household electrical power supply (voltage, maximum output and current) are compatible with those of your FRANKE hob.

- The plug and the socket can be easily reached and are positioned so that no live part is accessible when inserting or removing the plug.

- A 3 x 0.75 mm² H05RR-F type cable for completely gas hobs is used when replacing the power cable.

- The terminals of two appliances are not connected to the same plug.

- The polarities of the free terminals (Blue = Neutral = (1) / Yellow and Green = Earth = (2) / Brown = Live = (3)) are respected.

Adjustment to different types of gas

WARNING: This operation must be performed by a qualified technician.

Minimum flame adjustment

Remove the knob. ▶ Insert the screwdriver between the gasket and the cover until it reaches the adjustment screw. Adjust the minimum flame by turning the screw clockwise to decrease the flame and anticlockwise to increase it. The screwdriver for adjustment is supplied with the accessories.

Replacing injectors

Not supplied injectors must be requested to the customer service.

Important: All the appliances are factory-set for natural gas (G20). If a different type of gas is to be used, change the injectors as follows:

• Remove the grids, burner caps and flame-spreaders;
• Unscrew the injectors and replace them with those provided and suitable for the gas supply, making sure the marking matches that given in the table;
• Refit the flame-spreaders, burner caps and grids.

These burners do not require air adjustment.

INTENDED USE

Accessing the hob

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

• Remove the grids, burner caps and flame-spreaders;
• Remove the knobs, sliding them off their pins;
• Remove the screws that fix the burners to the hob;
• Lift the hob.

Important: When converting the appliance to a different type of gas, place the corresponding sticker (supplied as an accessory) in the special space on the data plate. For operation with LPG (G30 or G31), the minimum flame adjustment screw must be fully screwed down. These appliances are supplied in cat. II 2H3+.

CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

Do not pull the appliance or the power cable to unplug it. Close the general gas supply cock when the hob is not in use.

Risk of burns!

Do not touch the pot grids during use. Do not touch the appliance with wet parts of the body.

Lighting the burners

The hob is lit with the control knobs. To light the burners, proceed as follows:

• Press and turn the required knob to the lighting and max delivery position.
• Keep the knob pressed down for 3-4 seconds to allow the sparks to ignite the gas coming out the burner and to allow the thermocouple to heat up.

Then release the knob and, turning it anticlockwise, adjust the flame as required. If the flame does not stay lit, repeat the operation from step 1.

The hob is an item for daily use: signs of usage such as scratches or visible material abrasion from pots or cookware are normal. Intensive use leads to more distinctive signs of usage. In such cases, the appliance continues to function perfectly and a complaint is not justified. Safety is always guaranteed.

Do not use the appliance as support top. To avoid damaging the appliance: In the case of thermal failure, switch the solid plate off and allow to cool down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Do not cool with cold water under any circumstances. Do not climb onto the appliance. The appliance is manufactured in compliance with the relevant effective safety standard and safety requirements of Gas Directive.

Automatic Safety Valve

These hobs have a safety device that automatically closes the gas flow if the flame accidentally goes out due to draughts, pot spilling, or a temporary interruption of the gas supply. This device is activated approx. 30 seconds after the flame goes out.

Burner use

For lower gas consumption and better efficiency use pots of widths suitable for the burners, making sure the flame does not go beyond the edges (comply with the following table):

Burner	Pan bottom min-max. ∅ (recommended)
Double Crown 160 -240 mm
Rapid 140 - 220 mm
Semi-Rapid 140 - 200 mm
Auxiliary 60 - 140 mm

The use of larger pots than those specified can cause excessive overheating of the knobs and top and, in case of prolonged use, yellowing of the cover (if in stainless steel). FRANKE declines any liability for damage due to such use (Fig. 1).

Do not put the same pan on two burners (Fig. 1). Do not use two burners working at the same time with a single container, like a saucepan or a fish pan (Fig. 1). Improper use of the grids can damage the hob: do not position the grids upside down or slide them across the hob. In case of use of cast iron griddles, ollar stones, terracotta pots and pans, use them for no more than 20 minutes and, in case of prolonged cooking, adjust the burner to the minimum. Heat diffusers such as metal mesh, or any other types are not recommended.

CAUTION: The use of particular pans or pots may cause a light temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the appliance.
