Before using the hob
• To make the most of your
new appliance, please read
the user instructions
carefully and keep them to
hand for future
consultation.
Installation - Technical information for the Installer
Cooktop
• The cooktop must be set
into a worktop between
30 mm and 50 mm deep.
If there is no oven
beneath the cooktop,
insert a separator panel
at a minimum distance
of 20 mm from the
bottom of the hob.
• If there is an oven
installed under the
cooktop, make sure that
it is manufactured by us
and equipped with a
cooling system.
Note: After installation, make
sure the cooktop power cable
does not come into contact
with the metal burner box
and the oven (if installed)
with tangential fan below it.
• If the cooktop is to be
installed next to a
column unit, leave a
distance of at least
250 mm from the edge
of the hob.
• The outer surfaces of
the furniture or
appliances next to the
cooktop must be heat
resistant (heat
protection “Y”,
according to local
standards).
• Installation must comply
with current local
regulations.
• In the room where the
cooktop is installed, there
must be enough air to
allow the gas to burn
correctly.
• The natural flow of air
must take place through
an adequate opening, that
must be:
- permanent, made on one
of the outside walls of the
room and communicating
with the exterior in the
area away from sources of
pollution;
- built so as to ensure that its
openings, both on the
inside and on the outside,
cannot be obstructed,
intentionally or
accidentally;
- protected by a metal grid
or mesh that does not
reduce its working section;
- situated near the floor
level and positioned so as
not to interfere with the
operation of the fume
exhaust devices.

Installation - Technical information for the Installer
Electrical connection
Assembly
• The installation of the
cooktop must be carried
out without grids to
avoid any deformation
of the appliance.
• Position the brackets
into the relevant holes
and tighten by means of
the screws supplied.
• Make an opening in the
worktop, respecting the
dimensions indicated in
the separate Product
Description Sheet.
Also make sure that
there is a ventilation
opening at both sides of
50 mm min. as shown.
• Apply the gasket
supplied along the
outer perimeter of the
worktop, as shown in
the figure.
• Make sure that
ventilation openings
are provided (see
figure).
• Position the brackets in
the holes and tighten
with the screws
supplied.
• Install the cooktop into
the worktop.
Installation must be carried
out in compliance with the
regulations of the local
electricity supply company.
Make sure that the voltage
indicated on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage in
your home. Regulations
require that the appliance is
earthed: use conductors
(including the earth
conductor) of the appropriate
size only. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility for
injury to persons or animals
and for damage to property
resulting from failure to
observe the above regulations.
The appliance must be
connected to the electricity
supply by means of an all-
pole disconnect switch
with minimum contact gap
of 3 mm.
If necessary, the electrical
power cable must be replaced
exclusively with a power cable
having identical characteristics
to the original supplied by the
manufacturer.
This operation must be
performed by the After Sales
Service or a qualified
electrician.
Warning
: the power supply
cable must be long enough to
allow the cooktop to be
removed from the worktop
and must be positioned so as
to avoid damage or
overheating caused by contact
with the base.

Connection to gas supply - RC 3/8” ( ISO 7/1 - RC 3/8)
Energy saving tips
• A 3/8" to 1/2" reducing
adapter (ISO 228-I-G 1/2A)
is supplied for those
countries where it is
required.
• The gas connection must
comply with national and
local regulations (see
chapter “National Safety
Regulations”).
• The connection of the
cooktop to the gas pipe
network or gas cylinder
must be made by means of
a rigid copper or steel pipe
with fittings complying
with local regulations.
• Do not use plastic hoses
underneath the hob.
• Use pots and pans whose
bottom diameter is equal
to that of the cooking zone
or slightly larger.
• Only use flat-bottomed
pots and pans.
• If possible, keep the pot
covered when cooking.
• Cook vegetables, potatoes,
etc. with little water in
order to cut down cooking
time.
• A pressure cooker allows
you to save even more
energy and time.

Care and maintenance
Troubleshooting Guide
1. The burner does not work:
• Is the main gas cylinder valve
open?
• Has the delivery of the gas
been suspended?
• Are the openings of the
burner clogged?
• Have the cap and burner
been positioned correctly
after cleaning?
• Is the burner soil or humid?
2. The burner fails to
remain lit:
• Repeat the ignition
operation, turning the
knob to the position with
the small flame symbol.
3. The electric ignition
device does not work:
• Is there a power failure?
Clean the cooktop, when it is
cool, after each use. This will
prevent the build-up of dirt
and make cleaning easier.
• Use a clean cloth,
absorbent kitchen wipes
and washing up liquid or a
specific cleaner.
• Do not use abrasive products,
bleach, oven-cleaner spray or
pan scourers.
• Do not use water jets for
cleaning.
• Food spills should be
cleaned off before they
bake onto the surface.
• Remove food remains that
have boiled over
immediately particularly
red cabbage, apple sauce
and rhubarb. In these
remains are allowed to
affect the surface over a
period of time, they can
cause discoloration.
Note: The high temperatures
of the flames, may affect, in a
long term use, the colour the
surface around the burners.
Cleaning the burners
1. Raise the cap and remove
it.
2. Soak the cap in hot water
and liquid detergent.
(Do not wash into a
dishwasher).
3. Rinse out and dry carefully.
4. Ensure that none of its
opening is clogged.
5. Reposition the cap.
Note: To avoid damaging the
electric ignition device, do not
use it when the burners are
not in place.
