The cooktop lid
(only for tops with enamelled iron grates)
In order to obtain an aesthetic alignment with the kitchen
cabinets, the top is arranged for fitting a lid, supplied by
request.
● The lid serves to protect the top from dust, when
closed, and collecting splashes of grease, when
open. DO NOT use it for any other purpose.
● Before opening the lid, dry off any traces of
liquids.
● Clean any cooking residuals from the lid before
closing or removing it.
● IMPORTANT! The glass top may splinter if over-
heated. Make sure all the rings are turned off
before closing it.
Broiler
The top has an electric broiler located in the middle of the
cooktop.
The knob has 8 different settings, from “0” (broiler off) to
“max” (maximum setting).
The broiler may create smoke or unpleasant odours
when used for the first time. This inconvenience will
disappear after a few minutes’ operation.
It is always advisable to preheat the broiler at max. setting
for not more than 15 minutes, and then turn the knob to the
required setting.

Several instructions on using the broiler are given in the
table at the bottom of this page. The levels and times are
given merely by way of example and can be adapted to
personal needs and tastes. For cooking particularly fatty
foods (sausages, bacon, etc.) it is best to use intermediate
settings, to prevent the creation of smoke.
After using the broiler, in particular for lengthy
cooking, the front part stays hot for at least 45
minutes even after switching off. Wear pot-holders
or oven gloves when operating near the surface of
the broiler.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if
excessively heated. Therefore prolonged
cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or
cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use
aluminium foil to protect the top during use.
Carefully watch over your food during cooking
with fats or oils, because these substances can
catch fire when very hot.

Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any operation, disconnect
the appliance from the power supply and
allow it cool
General cleaning
Clean the enamelled parts with lukewarm water and de-
tergent; do not use abrasive products which could dam-
age them.
Clean the flame spreader and caps frequently with boil-
ing water and detergent, making sure to remove all de-
posits.
After use, rinse the stainless-steel parts thoroughly with
water and dry with a soft cloth.
For stubborn stains, use normal non-abrasive detergents
or specific products, readily available on the market.
DO NOT use scouring pads, steel wool or acids.
Cleaning the electric igniter
Automatic ring lighting is ensured by the presence of a
ceramic igniter plug (Fig. 1, C). Carefully clean this part
of the top periodically. Also, to prevent difficulty in light-
ing, make sure the flame spreader crown holes are not
clogged (B).
The worktop grates are kept in place by two metal
pins located on the back trim of the cooktop. The
grates can be removed from the cooktop for better
cleaning. Lift the grates, keeping them horizontal as
shown in fig. 2.
Do not tilt the grates by levering on the
pins, as this could damage or break the
pins.
If damage is noted, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply in order
to prevent risk of electric shocks, and call
the nearest Authorised Technical
Assistance Centre.
After washing, make sure the grates are correctly
positioned as shown in fig. 2.
The worktop grates can be placed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn stains, use normal non-abrasive
detergents or specific products, readily available
on the market.
DO NOT use scouring pads, steel wool or acids.

Instructions for the installer
Gas supply connection
The gas connection must be carried out in compliance
with the current regulations. The appliances leave the fac-
tory, tested and adjusted for the type of gas specified on
the plate located in the bottom protection, near the gas
connection pipe. Make sure the type of gas used is the
same as that specified on the plate. Otherwise, proceed
according to the instructions given in the section “Convert-
ing to different types of gas”. To ensure maximum efficiency
and lower consumption, make sure the gas supply pres-
sure respects the values given in the “Burner specifications”
table.
The union is fitted on the end part of the gas train, with a G
1/2" threaded nut, interposing the seal between the com-
ponents as shown in Fig. 12. Screw the parts without forc-
ing, turn the union in the required direction, then tighten
everything.
Connection
Make the connection to the gas system using a rigid
metal pipe and fittings complying with the current stan-
dards, or with a s/steel flexible tube complying with the
current standards, limited to those not longer than 2 m.
When using flexible metal tubes make sure they are not in
contact with movable parts or squashed. Pay the same at-
tention also when an oven and top combination is provided
for. The gas inlet union for the appliances is 1/2" cylindrical
male thread.
Make the connection, avoiding any kind of stress on the
appliance.
● IMPORTANT: After installation, always check the
perfect seal of all unions using a soapy solution.
Never carry out this check with a flame.

The appliance is arranged to operate on a 230 V single-
phase power supply. Connection must be made in
compliance with current standards and regulations.
Before carrying out the connection, make sure:
● the limiter valve and the electrical system can take the
appliance load (refer to the serial no. plate);
● the supply system is equipped with an efficient earth
connection in compliance with current standards;
● the socket or omnipolar switch used are easily
accessible with the appliance installed.
Fit the cable with a plug suitable for the load and connect
it to a suitable safety socket.
To connect directly to the mains, a suitable omnipolar
switch with contact gap of at least 3 mm complying with
Electrical connection
current standards must be installed between the
appliance and the network. The yellow/green earth wire
must not be interrupted by the switch.
The brown phase wire (coming from terminal “L” on the
terminal block) must always be connected to the power
supply phase wire.
In any case the power cable must be positioned in such
a way that no part of it reaches a temperature of more
than 90°C.
An example of an optimum path is given in Fig. 15. The
cable is guided by means of clamps fixed to the side of
the cabinet, in order to avoid any contact with the
equipment beneath the cooktop.

Replacing the power cable
The power cable connection to the terminal block is of
the “Y” type: the flexible cable can only be replaced with
the use of a special tool that the service technicians
have.
When replacing the power cable only use H05V2V2-F
T90 type cables suitable for the load and operating tem-
perature. Also, the yellow/green earth wire must be
approx. 2 cm longer than the phase and neutral wires
(Fig. 13).
After connection, test the heating elements by operat-
ing them for about 3 minutes.
To open the terminal block cover and access the con-
nection terminals, proceed as follows:
● insert the tip of a screwdriver in the protrusions on the
visible side of the terminal block;
● press lightly and prise upwards (Fig. 14).

The above adjustment operations can be easily performed,
whatever the positioning or fixing of the cooktop on the
kitchen cabinet.
Minimum flame adjustment
To adjust the minimum flame, proceed as follows.
1. Light the burner as previously described.
2. Turn the cock to the min. flame position.
3. Remove the knobs.
4. Adjust the by-pass pin indicated in fig. 18.
• When converting from natural gas to LPG, screw down
the by-pass pin clockwise. When converting from natural
gas to town gas, unscrew it 3/4 turn (approx.).
• In any case, the result must be a small and even flame
on all the burner crown.
5. Lastly, check that the burner does not go off when
quickly turning the cock from max. to min.
Replacing nozzles
1. Remove the grates.
2. Remove the burner caps and flame spreaders.
3. Using a 7 mm socket wrench, unscrew and remove
(Fig. 16) the nozzles, replacing them with those
required for the type of gas used (refer to table 1 on the
previous page).
To adapt the nozzles for operation on Town gas, after
fitting the special types (fig. 17, B) screw the special
cages on to them: for the semirapid and auxiliary
burners use the cage indicated by letter A (with Ø 10
hole), and the cage indicated by letter C (with Ø16
hole) for the rapid burner and fish kettle burner.
4. Refit the parts by carrying out the above operations in
reverse order.
5. Then replace the rating plate (located near the gas
connection) with that corresponding to the new type of
gas. The latter is included in the bag of injectors
supplied.
If the pressure of the gas used is different (or variable)
from that provided for, a suitable pressure regulator for
the piped gas (NOT LPG) complying with Standard UNI-
CIG 7430 must be installed on the inlet piping.
The use of pressure regulators for liquified gases (LPG)
is allowed provided they comply with Standard UNI-CIG
7432.
