Frequently Asked Questions - KE 79.5F.SF Foster

What gas types can this hob use?

The hob is factory-set for methane gas (G20) at 20 mbar. It can be converted to LPG (G30/G31) at 28-30/37 mbar by replacing the injectors and adjusting the minimum flame. See the adaptation table in the manual.

How do I install the hob into my worktop?

Cut an opening according to the dimensions in the manual (typically 840 mm x 480 mm for the KE model). Apply the insulating gasket around the cutout, then secure the hob using the supplied brackets. Ensure the worktop is heat-resistant (T 100°C).

What is the correct pot size for each burner?

Use pots with flat bottoms and lids. Recommended diameters: Auxiliary 6-14 cm, Semi-quick 15-20 cm, Quick 21-26 cm, and Triple Crown/Dual 24-28 cm. Avoid pots that exceed these sizes to prevent flame spread and damage.

How do I clean the hob?

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner after each use. Remove burner caps, crowns, and grids and wash in hot water with mild detergent. Do not wash cast iron parts in a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before reassembly.

What should I do if a burner does not ignite?

Check that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned. Ensure the spark plug is clean and dry. If the burner fails to light within 15 seconds, turn the knob to off and wait 60 seconds before retrying. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Can I use the hob with a gas cylinder (LPG)?

Yes, but you must use a pressure regulator and convert the hob to LPG by replacing the injectors and adjusting the minimum flame. Ensure the supply pressure matches the values in the adaptation table (28-30/37 mbar for LPG).

How do I convert the hob from natural gas to LPG?

Disconnect the appliance from power and gas. Remove the burner caps and crowns, then unscrew the injectors with a 7 mm tube spanner. Replace with injectors for LPG as per the table. Reassemble burners and adjust the minimum flame by turning the screw on the tap rod. Finally, replace the gas type label.

What is the flame failure safety device and how does it work?

The hob is equipped with thermocouples that detect the flame. If the flame goes out accidentally, the gas supply is automatically shut off after about 20 seconds to prevent gas leaks. To relight, turn the knob to off and wait 60 seconds before attempting to light again.

Where can I find spare parts for this hob?

Use only original Foster spare parts. Contact the Foster after-sales technical assistance center or an authorized dealer. Common spare parts include injectors, thermocouples, knobs, burner caps, and flexible hoses.

What are the electrical requirements for the hob?

The hob requires a 230 V ~ 50 Hz power supply with a properly grounded socket. Use a H05RR-F 3x0.75 mm² cable. The plug must be compatible and accessible after installation. Never pull the plug by the cord.

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 182].

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:

• Traditional built-in cooker hobs: "8 mm edge", "Q4 edge" and "semi-flush edge";
• 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 reading the powers table depending on the type of gas used [Page 182].

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 37].

6. Positioning in the work top

The following interventions require masonry and/or carpentry work and must therefore be completed by a competent technician. Installation can be completed on different 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 summary - models with traditional built-in [Page 182], in correspondence of the drawing of the purchased cooker hob.

Fig. 2: cutting the hole for the built-in

• The distance of the cooker hob from the back edge must be at least 50 mm;
• The distance of the cooker hob from the walls that exceed worktop height must be at least 100 mm;
• Should a hood be installed above the hob, see the hood assembly instructions which provide the correct distance to be respected.

Fig. 3: cooker hob distances

• Carefully position the supplied insulating 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].
• Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brackets to fasten the hob to the structure. Refer to the "Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet" paragraph [Page 26].

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 182]. The step is necessary to house the cooker hub edge so that it is "flush" with the worktop.

• Accurately clean milling.
- Before positioning the top, lay the sealer gasket provided on the entire milling surface [Fig. 5].
- Once these operations have been completed, use the supplied brackets to fasten the hob to the structure. Refer to the “Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet” paragraph [Page 26].

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-repellent 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:

• 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.
• The surface under the appliance must be 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.
• If this product is installed above an oven, it must be equipped with a cooling fan.

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 supply network can be completed using rigid copper piping or with a continuous flexible steel pipe on the wall, according to established regulations that are parts of the regulations in force [Fig. 6]. In any case every pipe connected to the gas supply network must be equipped with a safety interception valve.

Fig. 6: connection to the gas supply network

IMPORTANT: Always place the gasket between the hob fitting and the connection pipe.

• 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.
• 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 20 mbar. For supplying with other types of gas, see the Adapting to the different types of gas table [Page 31]

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 31]. In this case also, connection must be carried out with copper rigid pipe or with stainless steel flexible pipe with continuous wall.

9. Room ventilation

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

10. Discharging combustion products (exhaust)

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 approved for this work, following positions and distances contained in regulations.

IMPORTANT: At the end of the intervention the installer must issue a conformity certificate.

13. Electrical connection of the cooker hob

IMPORTANT: Before completing the following operation, always make sure that the voltage and sizing of the power supply line correspond to the characteristics indicated on the place located under the housing of the appliance. This plate must never be removed.

It is mandatory to have an earth connection as per modes foreseen in the electrical system safety standards.

• For direct connection to the electric mains, a device must be applied which guarantees disconnection from the mains with a contact opening distance which allows complete disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions in compliance with installation rules.

- If using a connection with a plug and socket, verify that they are of the same type. Avoid using reducers, adaptors or diverters because they may cause overheating or burns.

IMPORTANT: The manufacturer declines any liability for damages to persons or property, caused by the non observance of the following regulations or resulting from tampering with even a single part of the appliance.

When replacing the power cable, a H05RR-F type cable must be used with a 3x0,75 mm ^2 cross-section.

14. Cooker hob use

14.1 Lighting the burners

Before lighting hob burners, make sure that the flame spreading crowns are positioned in their seat with the respective caps.

Fig. 9: crown position

The new burners called "Series III" are assembled 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 introductions notches in correspondence of the two cylinders below (C) and tighten clockwise.

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 15 seconds, 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 seconds 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 repeat 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.

After every use of the hob, always verify that the control knobs are in ● [chiuso] (closed) position.

If the burners were to shut off accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device intervenes and blocks gas output, even when the tap is open. In this case bring the knob to ● [chiuso] (closed) position and do not try to light the burner for at least 60 seconds.

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 36]).

When boiling, reduce the flame as much as needed to make sure that the liquid does not overflow.

Illustration of six cooking pots with crossed-out black lines indicating heating or resistance (no text or symbols)

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 36]). 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.

14.3 Pot diameter

• Auxiliary burner: from 6 to 14 cm
• Semi-quick burner: from 15 to 20 cm
• Quick burner: from 21 to 26 cm
• 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 installed in. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated. A prolonged used of the appliance with some or all burners may require additional ventilation such as opening a window and/or a greater suction power from the exhaust hood.

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.

Usage mode: pour the product on a wet cloth and pass it over the surface, carefully rinse and dry using a soft cloth or a deerskin.

15.1.2 Food stains or residue

Absolutely avoid using metal sponges and sharp scrapers to avoid damaging the surfaces. 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 immediately 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.
