Frequently Asked Questions - ZGL646ITX ZANUSSI

How do I light the gas burners on my Zanussi ZGL646ITX?

Push and turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to the maximum position. If the model has automatic ignition, the spark ignites the gas. After lighting, keep the knob pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, then adjust the flame.

What size pans should I use for each burner?

Use pans with a base diameter within the recommended range: Rapid burner 160-260 mm, Semi-rapid 120-220 mm, Auxiliary 80-160 mm. Always use flat-bottomed pans for even heat distribution.

How do I clean the hob properly?

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Wash enamelled parts with warm soapy water. Clean burner caps and crowns frequently with hot soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or bleach. Pan supports are dishwasher safe. Wipe the hob top with a soft damp cloth.

What should I do if a burner fails to light?

Check that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned and clean. Ensure the ignition candle and electrode are clean and free from food residue. If the problem persists, verify the gas supply is on and that the thermocouple is functioning. If still not lighting, contact an authorized service centre.

Can I convert the hob from natural gas to LPG?

Yes, the hob is adaptable. You need to replace the injectors with the ones supplied for LPG (see table in manual) and adjust the bypass screw for minimum flame. This should be done by a qualified installer. The conversion kit is included with the appliance.

Is the hob safe for children?

The hob has safety features such as thermocouple flame failure devices that cut off gas if the flame goes out. However, children should be supervised and kept away from hot surfaces. The appliance is designed to be used by adults and children under supervision only.

Environmental information

Instruction for the User

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

Models with semi-automatic ignition

To light a burner, depress the relevant switch marked with a small spark. Then, push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position" (ZGL 646 I).

Fig. 1

A - Burner cap
B - Burner crown
C - Ignition candle
D - Thermocouple

Fig. 2

Models with automatic ignition

Push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position". After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2, lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted (ZGL 646 IT - ZXL 636).

Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1-2, lett. A) is in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ●.

• Always turn the flame down or put it out before taking the pans off the burner..

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel.

It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.

Use of electric plate (ZXL 636)

To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the required position.

The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:

Position 0: off

Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat

Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat

The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few minutes.

Using the plate correctly

• When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect conduction.
• Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the even distribution of heat and the saving of energy. Cooking time is also lengthier.

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

Burner minimum maximum diameter diameter
Big (rapid) 160 mm. 260 mm.Medium (semirapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

• As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results, the plate and the saucepan should have the same diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.
• Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the food and save energy.

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care must be taken as these can self-ignite when over-heated.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

General cleaning

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners.

Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

• household detergent and bleaches;
• impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
• steel wool pads;
• bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

Pan supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.

If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.

Never use steel wool pads or acids.

Ignition candle

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (Fig.1-2 lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Cleaning of the hotplates

Spills on the hotplates should be removed using warm water and a soft cloth.

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel (while the plates are still warm).

Periodic Maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.

To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically lubricated.

• The following instructions about installation and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the regulation in force.
• The side walls of the unit in which the hob is going to be installed, must not exceed the height of the working top.
• Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea towels etc.).
• The appliance must be electrically disconnected before all interventions. If any electric supply to the appliance is required to carry out the work, ensure all the necessary precautions are followed.

THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY, SHOULD ANY OF THE OTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS INCORPORATED IN THIS BOOK OR THE REGULATION IN FORCE BE IGNORED.

Fig. 4

Gas connection

Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in stainless steel in compliance with the regulation in force. If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not come in contact with mobile parts or they are not squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is combined with an oven.

IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a saving of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage pressure of the appliance must correspond to the recommended values.

The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2". Interpose the sealing between the components as shown in Fig. 4. Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in the required direction and tighten everything.

IMPORTANT - When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and installation. Use some soapy water, never a flame.

Electrical Connection

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V monophase electricity supply.

The connection must be carried out in compliance with the laws and regulations in force.

Before the appliance is connected:

1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for the electrical connection can be easily reached with the appliance built in the forniture unit.

The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the load marked on the identification plate. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.

If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system, it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current rules.

The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in each part, it cannot reach a temperature 90^ C higher than the room temperature.

The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal block contact marked with "L") must always be connected to the network phase.

Replacement of the voltage cable

Only cable types H05RR-F, H05V2V2-F T90 or H05 BB-F must be used. The cable section must be suitable to the voltage and the working temperature.

The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm. longer than the phase wires (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6

Adaptation to different types of gas

Injectors replacement

• Remove the pan supports.
• Remove the burner's caps and crowns.
• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and remove the injectors (Fig. 7), and replace them with the ones required for the type of gas in use (see table 2).
• Reassemble the parts, following the same procedure backwards.
• Replace the rating label (placed near the gas supply pipe) with the relevant one for the new type of gas supply. You can find this label in the package of the injectors supplied with the appliance.

Should the feeding gas pressure be different or variable compared with the required pressure, an appropriate pressure adjuster must be fitted on the gas supply pipe, in compliance with the rules in force.

Adjustment of minimum level

To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as follows:

• Light the burner.
• Turn the knob on the minimum position.
• Remove the knob.
• With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw (see Fig. 8). If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular flame is obtained. If changing from LPG to natural gas unscrew about 1/4 turn the bypass screw, until a small regular flame is obtained.
• Finally check the flame does not go out when quickly turning the knob from the maximum position to the minimum position.

This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob has been positioned or built in the working top.
