•
Before installation, make sure that the setting of this
appliance is compatible with local gas and pressure
conditions. The adjustment conditions of this appliance are
stated on the rating plate or on the label.
•
The appliance must be switched off before any maintenance.
Before installation, please read the following:
•
The cooktop must be installed into a countertop 20 to 40 mm
thick and 600 mm deep.
•
Inside the unit there must be a space of at least 30 mm
between the bottom of the cooktop and the top of an
appliance or bracket.
•
If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit, leave
a distance of at least 100 mm.
•
There must be a distance of at least 50 mm between the cooktop
and the wall.
•
If a hood or cupboard is installed above the cooktop, leave a

(e.g., curtains).
Location of the appliance
The appliance should be installed where there is enough air
for the correct gas combustion (2 m3/h x kW).
• The installer must refer to national standards concerning
ventilation and removal of combustion products.
•
There must be a natural airflow through one or more
openings, which must be:
- Permanent and made in the outside walls of the room to be
ventilated.
- Made so that the opening outlets, both inside and outside the
wall, cannot be obstructed.
- Protected with grids, metal grill, etc., so as not to reduce the
installation distances indicated above.
- Situated next to floor level so as not to impede the correct
operation of the combustion products removal devices.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air must
come from an adjacent room, ventilated as required, as long as
it is not a bedroom or a dangerous space. In this case the
kitchen door must allow the passage of air.

installed in such a way that it cannot come into contact with a
mobile part of the unit, it is not obstructed and it can
be inspected along its whole length.
The cooktop connection is made using the following:
- 1 nut
(A)
- 1 gasket
(F)
- 1 conical union elbow
(C)
.
Important:
- Never force the turning of union (C) without first
slackening nut (A).

Adjusting the gas burner minimum
For taps with adjusting screw inside the shaft:
- with a screwdriver, max. diameter 3 mm, turn the screw inside
the tap shaft until adjustment is correct.
- perform the adjustment with the tap in the minimum position
(small flame ).
- For taps with adjusting screw on the body:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•
The installer is responsible for the correct electrical
connection of the appliance and the observance of the
relative safety precautions.
•
The appliance must be connected to the mains, checking first
that the voltage corresponds to the value given on the rating
plate and that the section of the electrical wires can take the
load indicated on the rating plate.
•
The plug must be put into a socket connected to the earth
system in compliance with safety rules.
•
If the appliance is supplied without a plug fit a standard plug
which is suitable for the power absorbed by the appliance. Do
not use multiple plug adapters or extension cables.
•
The connection can be made directly to the mains by means
of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap
of 3 mm.
•
When the appliance is installed, the switch or socket must
always be accessible.
•
The supply cable must not come in contact with hot parts and
must be positioned so that it does not exceed the
temperature of 75°C at any point.
•
After the appliance has been installed, the electrical
components must be inaccessible.
- No liability for damage or injury to persons or property will be
accepted from the non-observance of these requirements.
The appliance must be connected to the earth. The
manufacturer declines all responsibility for any problem
caused by failure to observe this rule.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter that is equal to
that of the gas burner or slightly larger.
•
The pans must not interfere with the control panel.
•
If possible, keep the pot covered when cooking.
•
Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to
reduce cooking time.
•
A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and time.
Special grids for woks (Optional)
This special grid for woks is suitable for the triple- crown burner
only.
Warning:
•
Using woks without this special grid could seriously damage
the burner.
•
Do not use this grid with flat bottomed pans.
Warning
: During cooking the burners become very hot. Please
keep children away.
PAN DIAMETER
Burners minimum maximum
Medium-power 12 cm 22 cm
High-power 22 cm 26 cm
Triple crown 24 cm 28 cm
WOK diameter max. 36 cm

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use to prevent
the build-up of dirt.
•
Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and liquid detergent.
•
Do not use abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based products, or
pan scourers.
•
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, salt
or lemon juice on the surface.
Enamelled cooktop
•
Enamelled parts must be washed with a sponge and soapy
water or other non-abrasive products.
•
Dry with a soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon juice,
tomato sauce, vinegar, etc. are left on the enamel for a long
time they will etch it, making it opaque.
Stainless steel cooktop
•
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with
a soft and clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
•
For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product or a
little hot vinegar.
•
N.B.: Regular use could cause discolouring around the
burners, because of the high temperature.
Cleaning the burners and the grids
•
Burners and grids can be removed and washed with suitable
products.
•
After cleaning, dry carefully and reposition into their seats.
•
In models with a safety valve, make sure that the sensor near
each burner remains clean.
•
In appliances with electric ignition, make sure that the
electrode remains clean so that the sparks can strike
properly. The spark plugs must be cleaned very carefully.
•
N.B.: To avoid damaging the electric ignition, do not use the
cooktop when the burners are not in place.
Gas taps
•
The gas taps should be cleaned regularly
by a qualified
technician only
.
•
If the gas taps are not working correctly, call After-Sales
Service.
Correct position of the burners
•
It is very important to check the perfect positioning of the
burner spreader
(F)
and burner cap
(C)
(see figure) because if
they are moved out of their seats, serious problems might
occur.
•
Make sure that the
(S)
electrode is always clean so that the
sparks can strike.
•
In models with a safety valve, make sure that the sensor
(T)
near each burner is always clean so that the safety valve can
be adjusted properly. Both the sensor and the spark plug
must be cleaned carefully.
Triple crown burner
•
This burner must be correctly positioned (see figure), making
sure that the ribs enter their housing as indicated by the arrow.
•
If the burner is correctly positioned it will not turn.
•
Correctly position cap
(A)
and ring
(B)
in their housing.
