Hob description

Auxiliary burner Semi-rapid gas burner Rapid gas-burner Ignitor for gas burners Safety device Activates if the flame accidentally goes out (spills, drafts, etc.), interrupting the delivery of gas to the burner. G Control knobs for gas burners H Pan supports

Instructions for use

Adjusting the flame level Using the burners The flame level is adjusted by pressing the control knob and turning it anticlockwise to the following positions: To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base (see following table). Black circle = off full flame small flame The symbols near the knobs show the position of the relative burner on the hob. The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out during operation. When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering. Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm) A. Auxiliary 6 – 14 B. Semi-Rapid 15 – 22 C. Rapid 21 – 26 To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:

• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas ignition ;
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation. For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off position " " . Important: Since the burner is equipped with a safety device "F", after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 6 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up. To turn off a burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops (it should be on the “ ” setting). To obtain the best results with the cooktop, several fundamental rules should be followed while cooking or preparing food. Use cookware with a flat bottom to make certain that the pot sets properly on the cooking area.

• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the knobs are in the off position " ". The main gas supply cut-off cock should also be closed.

Note Note When there is no electricity supply, the burners can be lit with a match after turning the control knob to the flame position. To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and turn it anticlockwise to the "High" setting. Cleaning and maintenance To ensure long life of the appliance, it is essential to carry out a thorough general clean frequently, taking into account that:

• The appliance should be disconnected from the mains supply before starting cleaning operations.
• Avoid cleaning appliance parts when they are still warm.
• The enamelled or chromed or glass parts must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them.
• The steel parts, especially in areas with the screen-printed symbols, should not be cleaned with diluents or abrasive detergents; preferably use just a soft cloth moistened with warm water and liquid detergent for washing dishes (wipe the cloth over the steel in the same direction as the satinfinish). Denatured alcohol may be used to remove stubborn dirt. Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water with a high lime content. After washing the stainless steel parts they should be rinsed and dried with a soft cloth (washleather).

• Avoid leaving acid liquids (vinegar, lemon juice, aggressive detergents, etc.) on enamelled or painted parts.
• The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove caked-on substance. Check that the gas outlet slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using them again.
• Frequently clean the end part of the automatic glow plugs of the hob.
• do not use steam cleaners to clean your oven. Greasing the taps As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to turn. In this case it will be necessary to clean inside and replace the grease. This procedure must be performed by a technician authorized by the manufacturer.

• After cleaning, some special treatments are available to bring back the shine to steel and to prevent it from yellowing; for this purpose, we recommend you use the specific “special cream detergent for steel care” available from our Assistance Centres.

Instructions for the installer

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and technical maintenance operations correctly and in compliance with current regulations and standards. Important: the hob should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should be used whenever it is necessary to keep the appliance connected to the electricity supply. The hobs have the following technical characteristics: -Category II 2H3+ - Class 1: all models whose edges are higher than/equal to 82 mm (see following page, fig. 4, detail H3). - Class 3: all models whose edges are lower than/equal to 82 mm (see following page, fig. 4, detail H1 and H2). Positioning This appliance may only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with provisions laid down by current regulations and standards. The following requirements must be observed:

• The appliance must discharge combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (Fig.1).
• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the appliance. Fig.1 In a chimney stack or branched flue Directly to the outside (exclusively for cooking appliances) Kitchen ventilation The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room. Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures made in the outside walls of the room or through single or branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with the standards in force. The air must be taken directly from the outside, from an area far from sources of pollution. The ventilation aperture must have the following characteristics (Fig.2A):

• total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated on the rating plate);
• it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
• it must be protected, e.g. with grills, wire mesh, etc. in such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced;
• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible. Detail A Adjacent room Room to be ventilated

Examples of ventilation holes for comburant air Enlarging the ventilation slot between window and floor Fig. 2A Fig. 2B The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as garages, mews, fuel stores, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the standards in force. Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may be made to freely pass through permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (Fig.2B). If an electric fan is used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3-5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an open window or a more efficient ventilation system by increasing the extraction power of the electric fan if installed. Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level, in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements/rooms below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder in use in the room at any one time and connected far from heat sources which could raise its temperature to above 50 °C. Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to guarantee proper installation in compliance with the applicable norms in force regarding accident-prevention for electrical connection. For the correct operation of the appliance when built into the cabinet, it is vital that the minimum distances illustrated in Fig. 3 be respected. The hob features a type Y degree of protection against overheating in compliance with norms. All surfaces adjacent to the cabinet and the back panel should be made of materials resistant to a temperature of 65°C. Hobs installation

fig.5 Fig.3 Securing the appliance to the cabinet There are three different groups of appliance as far as installation is concerned: 2-Built-in hobs (Class 3) with edges lower than 82 mm (see figure 4, detail H2). To install this type of hob, a hole large enough to accommodate the whole lower casing of the appliance must be made on the worktop intended to be under the hob. Remember to leave a gap of at least 1 cm between the lower casing and the worktop around the whole perimeter of the appliance (the underside of the casing can, however, touch the surface below it). 3-Sit-on hobs (Class 1) with edges higher than 82 mm (see figure 4, detail H3). In this case, the lower casing of the hob does not protrude further than the edge of the appliance. Even when the hob is resting on the worktop, it will suffice to leave space for the gas supply tube and electricity supply cable. The appliance must be fixed to the kitchen cabinets using suitable fixing accessories (these are provided) which may vary according to the type of installation required and the proportions of the appliance. 82 mm N.B.: to make maintenance operations more efficient, the area around the hob must be easily accessible after it has been installed (i.e. there are no completely shut-off elements). 82 mm Fig.4

1- Built-in hobs to be slotted in (Class 3 - see figure 4, detail

H1). In this case it is necessary to make a hole in the worktop whose measurements match those of the hob. The measurement at the side should be reduced by 2 cm so as to ensure that 1 cm of the perimeter of the hob overlaps with and rests on top of the supporting surface. To slot in the hob flush with the worktop, the cut-out on this supporting surface must be lowered (see figure 5), so that both the edge of the hob and the seal "X" under it can be positioned there. Before fitting the hob to the worktop, position the seal provided along the perimeter of the hob, as illustrated in figure

Gas supply connection

Gas supply connection

• Check that the appliance is set for the type of gas available and then connect it to the mains gas piping or the gas cylinder in compliance with current regulations and standards.
• This appliance is designed and set to work with the gas indicated on the label situated on the actual hob. If the gas supply is other than the type for which the appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding nozzles (provided), following instructions given in the paragraph “Adaptation to different types of gas”.
• For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and longer life of the appliance, make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications, otherwise install a special pressure regulator on the supply pipe in compliance with current standards and regulations.
• Connect in such a way that the appliance is subjected to no strain whatsoever. Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at the rear of the appliance to the right (Fig.7), or flexible steel pipe in compliance with the standards in force, which must not exceed 2000 mm in length. Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be replaced. Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the standards in force, must be inserted when connecting to a liquid gas supply (in a cylinder). Adaptation to a different type of gas If the hob is to be converted for use with a type of gas other than that for which it was set in the factory (indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:
• Remove the pan supports and the burners.
• Unscrew the nozzles “A” (Fig.8) using a 7 mm socket wrench and replace them with the ones which have a diameter suitable for the type of gas to be used, according to the table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications).
• On completing the operation, replace the old rating label with the one showing the new type of gas; the sticker is available from our Service Centres.

fig.7 fig.8 fig.9 Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner The burners do not need a primary air regulator. Minimum Regulation

• Turn the gas valve to minimum.
• Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated inside of the tap stem (Fig.9), using a screwdriver (loosening the screw increases the height of the flame, tightening decreases it). N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be fully screwed in (clockwise).
• Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly high to low, the flame does not go out.
• In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the security device (thermocouple) when the gas supply is set at minimum, increase the minimum supply levels using the regulator screw. Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the by-pass. Electrical connection

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The hobs are designed to work with alternating current at the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate (situated under the hob or at the end of the instruction booklet). Make sure that the local supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity supply For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug, suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto the cable and connect to a suitable socket. To connect directly to the mains supply, a double-pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm suitable for the load and complying with current standards and regulations, must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply outlet. The yellow-green earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch. The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50 °C above room temperature. For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply both for safety reasons and for easy removal of the oven if necessary. Do not use adapters or shunts as they could cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand the load from the appliance (see rating plate);
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to standards and laws in force;
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible when the appliance is installed. Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured Black.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION

REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL

LIABILITY. Replacing the cable Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a suitable cross

section 3 x 0.75 mm². The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3

cm longer than the other wires.
