Frequently Asked Questions - PG2D750/1 SQX CANDY

How to ignite a burner on the CANDY PG2D750/1 SQX hob?

Press the corresponding knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum position (small star). For models with electronic ignition, press the ignition button. If the flame does not ignite within 5 seconds, close the gas and repeat the operation.

What to do if the burner flame goes out accidentally?

Immediately close the control knob. Wait at least 1 minute before relighting the burner. If your hob is equipped with a thermocouple, hold the knob pressed for 5-6 seconds after ignition to activate the safety.

How to adapt the hob to another type of gas (LPG, butane, etc.)?

Remove the grate and burner, then use a 7 mm hex key to unscrew the injector. Replace it with the injector suitable for the desired gas (refer to the consumption table). Then adjust the minimum flame by acting on the adjustment screw of the valve.

How to clean the burners and grates?

Clean the burners with soapy water, then dry them thoroughly before replacing them. Use a special product for aluminum alloys to restore their shine. Never use abrasives, corrosive products, or steam cleaners.

What distance must be maintained between the hob and an extractor hood?

The minimum distance between the hob and any element (hood, other appliance) is 70 cm. Also ensure a space of at least 15 cm between the edges of the hob and the side walls of the cabinet.

Can you use copper or convex-bottomed pans?

No, use only flat-bottomed containers with a diameter suitable for the burner (see diameter table in the manual). Convex or concave bottoms disrupt cooking and can be dangerous.

How to adjust the minimum flame on a burner?

Turn on the burner at the minimum position, remove the control knob, then with a small screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw (on the valve stem): clockwise to reduce the flow, counterclockwise to increase it. The flame should be 3 to 4 mm.

What to do if the gas smells abnormal or the hob does not work?

Check that the power plug is properly connected and the gas supply is open. If the smell persists, close the gas, touch nothing, and call technical support. Use a soapy solution to detect leaks.

Can you install the hob above an oven?

Yes, but if the oven does not have a cooling system, you must create openings of at least 300 cm² in the cabinet to ensure good air circulation. For 75 cm hobs, only so-called 'ventilated' ovens are allowed underneath.

How to use the grill accessory supplied with the hob?

Place the grill directly over the pan supports (see fig. 9 of the manual). It is designed to be in direct contact with food: do not use a pan on it. Handle it with the handle, as it reaches high temperatures.
