Frequently Asked Questions - ZXL636ITX ZANUSSI

How do I light the gas burner?

Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the maximum position (ignition symbol) and push it down. Keep it pushed for about 5 seconds to heat the thermocouple. If it doesn't light after 15 seconds, release and wait 1 minute before retrying.

Why does the flame go out immediately after ignition?

The thermocouple may not be heated enough. Ensure you keep the knob pushed for at least 5 seconds after the flame appears to allow the thermocouple to reach temperature.

Can I convert the cooker to use LPG?

Yes. Replace the injectors with the ones supplied for LPG (see technical data table). Adjust the minimum level screw by fully tightening it. Also replace the rating label with the one provided for LPG.

How do I clean the hob?

Remove pan supports, burner caps and crowns. Wash enameled parts with warm soapy water. For stainless steel, use water and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or steam cleaners.

What should I do if the burner doesn't spark?

Check that the unit is connected to the electrical supply and the fuse is not blown. Also ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned. If the problem persists, contact Service Force Centre.

What size cookware should I use for each burner?

For rapid burner: 180-260 mm diameter; semi-rapid: 120-180 mm; auxiliary: 80-180 mm. Ensure pots are centrally placed and do not overhang the hob edges.

How do I adjust the minimum flame level?

Remove the control knob, then use a thin screwdriver to turn the bypass screw. For natural gas to LPG, tighten fully; for LPG to natural gas, unscrew about 1/4 turn.

Can I use the hob without cookware?

No. Never use the hob without cookware. It can cause overheating and damage the burner.

What is the electrical requirement for this cooker?

230 V ~ 50 Hz, with a 1.5 kW total electric load. Must be connected via an all-pole disconnect device with at least 3 mm contact opening.

How do I dispose of the product at end of life?

Do not dispose as household waste. Take it to a designated collection point for electrical and electronic equipment recycling to prevent environmental harm.

Installation

Warning! The following instructions about

installation, connection and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with standards and local regulations in force.

Gas Connection

Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in stainless steel in compliance with the regulation in force. If you use flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not come in touch with mobile parts or they are not squeezed. Also be careful when the hob is put together with an oven.

Important! Make sure that the gas supply pressure of the appliance obeys the recommended values. The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2". Screw the parts without force, adjust the connection in the necessary direction and tighten everything.

1 End of shaft with nut
2 Washer (additional washer is only for Slovenia and Turkey)
3 Elbow
4 Rubber pipe holder for liquid gas (only for Slovenia and Turkey)

Rigid connection:

Carry out connection by using metal rigid pipes (copper with mechanical end).

- Speak to your local authorised facilities for disposal of your appliance.

"Flexible" connection with mechanical end:

• Natural gas : connection carry out with a flexible pipe with mechanical end which is screwed directly on the elbow finishing the slope of the appliance.
• Butane / Propane : use a flexible tube, equipped with it's collars if it is worth visiting over all it's length and if the appliance runs only on butane. If the appliance runs on Propane, use a flexible pipe with suitable metal end.

Flexible nonmetal pipes connection:

If it is possible to easily control the connection in its full area, you can use a flexible pipe. Tightly attach the flexible pipe by clamps.

Liquid gas : use the rubber pipe holder. Always engage the gasket. Then continue with the gas connection. The flexible pipe is prepared for apply when:

• it can not get hot more than room temperature, higher than 30^ C ;
• it is no longer than 1500 mm;
• it shows no throttles;
• it is not subject to traction or torsion;
• it does not get in touch with cutting edges or corners;
• it can be easily examined in order to check its condition.

The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consists in checking that:

• it does not show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings on the two ends and on its full length;
• the material is not hardened, but shows its correct elasticity;
  – the fastening clamps are not rusted;
  -expired term is not due.

If one or more defects are visible, do not repair the pipe, but replace it.

Important! When installation is complete, make sure that the seal of each pipe fitting is correct. Use a soapy solution, not a flame!

Injectors replacement

1. Remove the pan supports.
2. Remove the caps and crowns of the burner.
3. With a socket spanner 7 remove the injectors and replace them with the ones which are necessary for the type of gas you use (see table in Technical Data section).
4. Assemble the parts, follow the same procedure backwards.
5. Replace the rating label (it is near the gas supply pipe) with the one for the new type of gas supply. You can find this label in the package of the injectors supplied with the appliance.
   If the supply gas pressure is changeable or different from the necessary pressure, you must fit an applicable pressure adjuster on the gas supply pipe.

Adjustment of minimum level

To adjust the minimum level of the burners:

1. Light the burner.
2. Turn the knob on the minimum position.
3. Remove the control knob.
4. With a thin screwdriver, adjust the bypass screw position. If you change from natural gas 20 mbar to liquid gas, fully tighten the adjustment screw in. If you change from liquid gas to natural gas 20 mbar, undo the by-pass screw approximately 1/4 of a turn.
