Commissioning
When the hob has been fully installed it will be
necessary to check the minimum flame setting. To do
this, follow the procedure below.
- Turn the gas tap to the MAX position and ignite.
- Set the gas tap to the MIN flame position then turn
the control knob from MIN to MAX several times.
If the flame is unstable or is extinguished follow the
procedure below.
Procedure:
F
Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN.
Remove the control knob, insert a thin
bladed screwdriver down the hole in the
front panel and turn the adjustment screw
until the flame is steady and does not
extinguish, when the knob is turned from
MIN to MAX. Repeat this procedure for all
burners.
Technical Maintenance
Check at regular intervals the condition and
serviceability of the gas connection hose and pressure
regulator, if any is fitted; in case of malfunction, do
not repair but replace the whole faulty part.
To ensure a smooth and safe operation, it is necessary
to periodically grease the gas taps.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent person,
in accordance with the current regulations.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should these safety measures not be
observed.
This appliance is designed to be connected
to a 230 V 50Hz AC electrical supply.
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. Before
switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance
rating plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom
of the hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of
this book.
The appliance is supplied with a 3 core flexible
supply cord incorporating a plug. Connect the plug to
an adequate socket.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the
appliance and the electricity supply (mains), 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 electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
13
Fitting the hob to the worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:
put the seals supplied with the hob, on the
edges of the cut out, as shown in the diagram,
taking care that the seals meet without
overlapping;
place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it
is centred;
fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps
and screws, as shown in the diagram. When
the screws have been tightened, the excess
seal can be removed.
F
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which
prevents the ingress of liquids.

Building In
Building over a cupboard or drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or
drawer it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board
below the base of the hob on the underside of the
work surface.
Building over a kitchen unit with door
Building over a kitchen unit with oven
If the hob is built into a kitchen unit with an oven
underneath, the recess must have the dimensions
shown in diagrams 2 and 3, and should also incorporate suitable oven crosspiece supports to ensure an
efficient cooling air circulation.
Diagrams 4 and 5 give two building-in examples.
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the
bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is
operated. The recommended solution is shown in
diagram 1.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
removable to allow easy access if technical assistance
is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can
be used for connections.

Installation
IMPORTANT
This appliance must be installed by qualified
personnel.
The manufacturer will not accept liability,
should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in
this book be ignored.
Gas Connection
On the end of the shaft (A) , which includes the GJ 1/
2" threaded elbow, an adjustable joint is fixed so that
the washer (B) is fitted between the components as
shown in the diagram.
A drop of paint at both edges of the "L" joint (C) will
evidence that the good seal of the connection has
been tested in the factory.
Before connecting the gas supply pipe to the joint
(C), the installer will ensure that the paint drop is
unbroken and the "L" connector has not been moved
by the vibrations during handling and transportation.
When the final connection has been made, it is
essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the
hob and installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert
any strain on the hob.

Something Not Working?
If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local
Service Centre.
SYMPTOM
n There is no spark when lighting the gas
SOLUTION
u Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on.
u Check the mains fuse has not blown.
u Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
n The gas ring burns unevenly
u Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner
crown is clear of food particles.
u Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
If after all these checks, your appliance still does not
operate correctly, contact your local Service Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left
to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of
the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
FO 2237
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.
The pan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning, as
shown in fig. 1.
To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as
shown in fig. 2.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the
enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges.
If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.
Fig. 1
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy
water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A
well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can
be used with caution, if the marks are particularly
difficult to remove.
FO 2032

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Operation
i
This hob is provided with a safety device,
which will stop the gas flow if the flame
accidentally goes off during cooking.
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and push it down
to ignite. Keep the control knob pressed down for
about 5 seconds, to allow the safety device to be
switched off. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
i
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.
i
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Centre.
