electricity supply.

General cleaning

Wash the enamelled parts with warm water and

detergent, avoiding to use abrasive products which

could scratch it. Wash often the crowns and the grid

caps with boiling soapy water, pay attention to scrape

every scale off.

After the use rinse the stainless steel parts carefully

using water, and dry them with a soft cloth.

For persistent spots use normal non abrasive detergent

easy commonly to be found in commerce. We

recommend you not to use for the cleaning straw hats,

steel wools or acids.

Cleaning of the electrical

ignition

The automatic ignition of the burners is assured by the

presence of a ceramic “glow plug” and by a metal long-

distance line. (indicated on picture 1 with letter C).

Periodically proceed with an accurate cleaning of these

parts of the hob. In order to avoid any difficulty in the

ignition, control that the holes of the crown (letter B) are

not clogged.

Hobs’ grids.

Hobs are equipped of castiron grids (see Fig. 2).

The grids can be taken off to enable a better cleaning.

Lift the grids up form the hob.

Grids and grids’caps.

Grids and grids caps tend to darken with their use. This

is an absolute regular and unavoidable phenomenon but

it does not absolutely compromise the hob functionality..

By the way, upon request, there are enamelled grids and

grids caps available by your retailer or our Technical

Assistance Centres.

.

Discharge of flue gases

Cooking appliances must always discharge the flue

gases into special hoods, which must be connected to

chimneys or have direct access to the outside.(picture7).

If it is not possible to install a hood, it is necessary the

employment of an electric fan fitted to the external wall

or to the window, as long as there are the conditions for

the increase of the ventilation (see picture 8), reported to

the power of the fan itself. (UNI-CIG7129).

This electric fan must have the necessary power to

grant, for a kitchen, an hour air change of 3-5 times its

volume.

Connection to the gas-supply.

The cooker should be connected according UNI-CIG

7129 – 7131 directives. The appliance is tested and

adjusted to operate with the type of gas stated on the

rating plate applied in the inferior protection, closed to

the connection gas-supply pipe.

Make sure the type of gas you will use to feed the

appliance is the same indicated on the label.

In the contrary case proceed referring to the paragraph “

Adjustment to the different gas types”.

For the best performance and the lowest consume,

make sure that the gas pressure respect the values

indicated in the table “Features of the burners”.

If the applied gas pressure is different (or variable) from

the scheduled one, it is necessary to install, on the inlet

pipe, a proper gas pressure regulator for gas (NON

GPL) in compliance with UNI-CIG 7430.

The use of pressure regulators for liquid (GPL) is

permitted but it has to be in appliance to the UNI-CIG

7432 Directive.

On the terminal part of the ramp with a thread nut G 1/2”

the pipe fitting has to be mounted, putting between the

parts, the washer as indicated in picture 9. Screw the

parts without forcing, position the washer toward the

requested direction and tighten everything.

Gas connection

The connection of the hob to the gas pipe network must

be made by means of a rigid metallic pipe complying

with the UNI-CIG 7129 directive or using a flexible

connection according the UNI-CIG 9891 directive, which

can be extended to a maximum length of 2 metres. Pay

attention, in case of employment of flexible metal pipes,

they do not get in touch with moving parts or get

crushed. Pay attention even if you combine a hob and

an oven. The gas inlet washer in the appliances is

thread ½” male cylinder. Carry out the gas connection

avoiding any sort of stress to the appliance.

At complete gas connection, always verify the

perfect hold of all the washers by using a soapy

solution. Never carry out this control using a flame

Electrical connection

The appliance is set up for a single-phase 230V feeling

voltage. The connection has to be carried out in

compliance with the current directives and law

dispositions.

Before connecting the hob make sure that:

The shaping valve and the electrical system can stand

the appliance load (see the serial number indicated on

the rating plate):

The feed system of the appliance has a proper earth

connection, according the laws in force;

The tap or the single-pole circuit breaker are easy to be

reached from the installed appliance.

Mount on the cable a suitable tap for the load and

connect it to a proper safety tap.

If a straight connection to the electricity is desired, it is

necessary to put a single-pole, with a minimum opening

of 3mm dimensioned to the load and in compliance with

the current directives, between the appliance and the

network.

The brown phase wire (coming out from the L terminal

on the terminal board) must be always connected to the

phase of the feeding network.

In any case the feeding wire has to be positioned so that

it cannot reach, anywhere in its length, a temperature

higher than 90°C.

An example of optimal current path is indicated on

picture 10. The wire is guided by the employment of

clamps fixed on the side of the furniture, in order to

avoid any contact with the appliance under the hob

Replacing the electrical power

cable

If necessary the electrical power must be replaced

exclusively with power cables type H05V2V2-F T90

suitable for the load and temperature rating.

It is also important that the earth wire (Yellow/Green)

must be at least 2 cm longer than the other phase

neutral (picture 11)- (picture 12).

After the connection test the heating elements letting

them work bout 3 minutes.

Adjustment to different types of gas

Replacing the nozzles

1. Remove the grids.

2. Remove the grid caps and burnes’ crowns.

3. With a 7 socket spanner unscrew and take out the

nozzles (picture 13), substitute them with those

corresponding to the working gas type (see table next

page).

4. Reassemble the parts/elements by executing the

above described operations in the opposite direction.

5. Substitute the calibration rating plate (positioned near

the feed ear). This last one is in the small bag of the

injectors’ kit.

If the pressure of the gas applied is different (or variable)

from the scheduled one, it is necessary to install on the

inlet tube, a proper pressure regulator for gases (NOT

GPL) in compliance with the UNI-CIG 7430.

The employment of pressure regulators for liquid gas

(GPL) is allowed if complying with UNI-CIG 7432.
