SITE OF INSTALLATION

For a good operation of the gas appliance it is

indispensable that the air necessary for gas

combustion can circulate in the room in a natural

manner. (The installer must follow the regulations

in force.)

Before each operation electrically disconnect the

appliance.

Wash the enamelled parts with warm water and

detergent, do not use abrasive products which

could damage them; frequently wash the baffles

of the burners with boiling water and detergent,

taking care to remove all encrustrations; the parts

in stainless steel should be rinsed well with water

after use and dried with a soft cloth.

The hob’s enamelled grills can also be washed in

the dishwasher. For persistent marks use normal,

non-abrasive detergents or specific products

which can easily be found in commerce.

It is never advisable to use wire pads, steel wool

or acids for cleaning.

CONNECTION TO THE GAS SUPPLY

Gas connection must be carried out in conformity

with the regulations in force. The appliance

leaves the factory tested and regulated for the

type of gas indicated on the plate which is

situated in the lower position near the gas

connection tube. Ascertain that the type of gas

with which the appliance will be supplied is the

same as that indicated on the plate.

If different carry out all the operations according

to the indications cited in the paragraph “adaption

to different types of gas”.

For a maximum output and minimum

consumption ascertain that the pressure of the gas

used has the values indicated in the table of

“burner characteristics”.

The joint is mounted on the intake area of the

pipe, fitted with a filleted nut GJ 1/2, between the

sealing components as shown in Fig. 1. Screw the

parts without forcing, turn the joint in the

direction required and then tighten everything.

CONNECTION

Carry out the connection to the gas plant only by

means of a rigid metallic pipe conforming to the

regulations in force.

The joint for the entry of gas into the appliance is

threaded GJ 1/2".

Carry out the connection avoiding any type of

stress on the appliance.

The adjustable joint permits the location of the

supply tube in the appropriate site situated on the

side of the protection box of the hob itself (Fig.

2).

This system permits the total encumbrance of the

hob plus the gas supply tube to be contained to a

depth of 30 mm.

Natual gas appliances must be fitted with a

pressure regulator and be installed at the inlet

connection. The gas pressure must then be set as a

part of the commissioning procedures.

For LPG the pressure adjustment is made via the

regulator fitted at the domestic cylinder.

FO 0265

Fig. 2

IMPORTANT

Upon completion of installation, always check:

● that all the joints are completely sealed by

using a soapy solution, never a flame;

● that the gas pressure has been regulated

according to the values given on the data

plate (provision for cecking the pressure is

located on the appliance inlet);

● that the automatic ignition system is

operating satisfactory on all burners, both

individually and in combination.

Then demonstrate to the customer the appiance

operation and leave these instructions.

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTION

The appliance is predisposed to function with a

240V monophase voltage tension. Connection

must be carried out in conformity with the

regulations and dispositions of the laws in force.

Before connecting ensure that:

- The limiter valve and the electrical mains can

support the voltage of the appliance (see

registration plate).

- The power supply is correctly earthed according

to the regulations in force.

- The plug or omnipolar interrupter used can be

easily reached once the appliance has been

installed.

Fit the cable with a plug suitable to the voltage

and connect to an appropriate security socket.

If a direct connection to the mains is required, an

omnipolar interrupter with a minimum opening of

3mm between contacts, dimensioned to the

voltage and corresponding to the regulations in

force, should be interposed between the appliance

and the supply. The yellow/green earth cable must

not be interrupted by the interrupter. The brown

coloured phase cable (situated at terminal “L” of

the terminal box) must always be connected to the

network phase. The voltage cable must always be

positioned in such a manner that it at no point

reaches a temperature of 50∞C above room

temperature. An example of the best routing is

shown in fig. 3. The cable is guided by use of

clamps fixed laterally to the unit in such a way as

to avoid any contact with the appliance under the

hob.

In case of substitution of the voltage cable use

cable type H05 RRF having a section suited to the

charge, it is furthermore necessary that the

yellow/green earth wire be approximately 2cm

longer than the phase and neutral wires (Fig. 4).

After connection try out the heating elements

allowing them to function for approximately 3

minutes.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility

in case the prevention of accidents regulations

are not respected.

Remove the caps and baffles from the burners:

With a tubular spanner no. 7 unscrew and remove

(fig. 5) the nozzles substituting them with those

corresponding to the type of gas used (see tab):

Remount the parts carrying out the operations

described in reverse. Then substitute the caliber

plate (positioned near the gas supply connection)

with the one corresponding to the new type of

gas. This can be found in the injector bag

supplied.

If the pressure of gas used is different (or

variable) from that foreseen an appropriate

pressure regulator should be installed on the entry

tube.

In case pressure regulators for GPL are used these

should conform to the regulations in force.

REGULATION OF THE

MINIMUM

To regulate the minimum bring the tap to the

minimum flame position.

Extract the knob.

If the tap is of a type with the pin by-pass inside

the bar (Fig. 6-8), it is sufficient to screw or

unscrew according to the type of gas as indicated

in the following paragraph.

If the tap is of a type with a lateral by-pass (Fig.

8) it is necessary to detach the command panel by

applying pressure to the lateral projection (Fig. 7),

then insert a screwdriver through the hole until

the pin is reached.

When transforming from methane gas to GPL gas

fully screw down the by-pass pin.

Finally check that by quickly turning the tap from

the maximum position to the minimum position

the burner is not extinguished; remount the parts

opening for installation of the dimensions

illustrated in fig. 11.

The fixture of the hob to the unit must be carried

out as follows:

position the appropriate sealings, supplied, on the

edge of the opening predisposed taking care that

the edges meet without overlapping;

place the hob in the opening of the unit taking

care in centring;

fix the hob to the unit by means of the appropriate

clips (see fig. 12). The traction of the screws is

sufficient to trace the seal, whose excess can thus

be removed. The edge of the hob forms a double

labyrinth seal which provides a total guarantee

against the infiltration of liquids.
