electrician following the manufacturer’s

instructions and in compliance with the local

regulations in force.

TIPS FOR SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packaging

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is

marked with the recycling symbol

to identify the

type of material which must be taken to the local

collection centres.

2. Product

The cooktop has been manufactured with recyclable

material. Dispose of it following the local regulations

for the disposal of waste.

GAS COOKTOP

AKR 001 – AKR 003 – AKR 013

GAS BURNERS

The flow of gas to the burners is adjusted by the

knobs which control the taps with safety valves.

Match the mark on the knob with the symbols printed

on the panel:

-fulldisc

=tapoff

- symbol

= max. opening or max. flow

- symbol

= min. opening or min. flow

To light one of the burners:

1. Press and turn the gas tap knob anticlockwise to the

maximum flow position, press it down and keep it

pressed.

2. Press the electric ignition push-button. If there is a

power cut use a flame.

3. Wait for ten seconds after lighting the burner before

releasing the knob (valve triggering time).

4. Set the gas tap to the position required.

If particular characteristics of the locally supplied gas

make lighting the burner with the knob in the

maximum flow position difficult, repeat the operation

with the knob in the minimum flow position.

If the burner flame should go out for any reason, the

safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply.

To light the gas again, turn the knob to the

position

and then repeat the lighting operations.

The maximum flow is used to bring liquids to the boil

quickly, while the low flow is used to heat food slowly

or for simmering.

All the operating positions must be chosen between

the maximum and the minimum and never between

the maximum and the OFF.

USING THE COOKTOP

SPECIAL GRIDS FOR WOKS

optional (only model AKR 003)

This special grid for woks rests on the grid of the

double-crown burner.

WARNING:

− Using woks without this special grid could seriously

damage the burner.

− Donotusethisgridwithflatbottomedpans.

ENERGY SAVING HINTS

Use pans with base of the same diameter or slightly

larger than that of the cooking zone.

Use only flat-bottomed pans.

The use of pans with concave or convex bottoms is

not recommended.

The pans must not interfere with the control panel.

If possible, put covers on pans.

Boil vegetables, potatoes, etc. with just a little water

to save energy.

Pressure cookers help to save energy and are

quicker than traditional pans.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE COOKTOP AND

CONTROL PANEL

Before cleaning the cooktop switch it off and wait

forittocooldown.

Cleanwithaclothwettedwithhotwaterandsoap

or water and liquid detergent.

Do not use products which are abrasive, corrosive or

chlorine based, or steel pads.

Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar,

salt, lemon juice etc.) on the cooktop.

ENAMEL COOKTOP

Enamelled parts must be washed using a sponge,

with soapy water or other non-abrasive products.

Drywithasoftcloth.Ifacidsubstancessuchas

lemon juice, tomato conserve, 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

available commercially or a little hot vinegar.

Note: regular use could cause discolouring around

the burners, because of the high temperature.

CLEANING THE BURNERS AND THE

GRIDS

These pieces can be removed and washed with

suitable products.

After cleaning, the burners and spreaders must be

dried carefully and put back into their housing

correctly.

It is very important to check the correct position of

the burner spreader because if it moves out of place

serious problems could occur.

In models which have safety valves, make sure that

the sensor, near to each burner, remains clean so

that the safety valves can work properly.

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 damage to the electric ignition, do

not use it when the burners are not in place.

GAS TAPS

The gas taps should be cleaned regularly and only by

specialised engineers.

If the gas taps are not working correctly, call the After-

Sales Service.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

1. The burner does not light:

Is the gas supply tap switched on?

Has the gas supply (methane) been cut off?

Is the cylinder empty? (Liquid gas).

Are the burner openings clogged?

Have the cap or burner been repositioned correctly

after cleaning?

2. The burner does not stay lit:

Repeat the lighting operation turning the knob to

the symbol representing the small flame

3. The electric ignition does not work:

Is there a power failure?

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

INSTALLATION

The installation, adjustment and modification of the

appliance for the use of other gases must be

performed by a trained installer. Failure to observe

this rule will lead to cancellation of the guarantee.

The appliance must be installed correctly and in

conformity with the local regulations in force.

Any operation must be performed with the

appliance switched off.

INSTALLATION ROOM

In the room where the cooktop is installed there

must be enough air for correct gas combustion (2

/h x kW).

The installer must refer to the national

standards in force concerning ventilation and

removal of combustion products.

The natural flow of air must occur through one or

more suitable openings which must be:

- Permanent and made in the outside walls of the

room to be ventilated, in an area away from

sources of pollution.

- So made that the opening outlets, both inside and

outside the wall, cannot be blocked, even

accidentally.

- Protected with grids, metal net etc. so as not to

reduce the useful section indicated above.

- Situated at roughly floor level and such as not to

cause disturbance to the correct operation of the

combustion product removal devices.

When these openings cannot be made, the necessary

airmustcomefromanadjacentroom,ventilatedas

required, as long as it is not a bedroom or a dangerous

room. In this case the kitchen door must allow the

passage of air.

DISCHARGE OF THE COMBUSTION

PRODUCTS

The combustion products of gas appliances must be

discharged through hoods connected directly to the

outside.

When this is not possible an electric fan can be used,

attached to the outside wall or to the window, having

a capacity such as to allow an hourly exchange of air of

3–5timesthevolumeofthekitchen.

The fan can only be installed if there are suitable

openings for the inlet of air.

gas indicated on the rating plate affixed to the

appliance.

The gas supply system must conform to the local

regulations in force.

To connect the cooktop to the gas mains or cylinder

use a flexible stainless steel hose with continuous wall

conforming to local regulations. Use gasket F for the

cylindrical elbow connection.

The flexible metal tubes must be at most 2 m long.

Attention: If a flexible stainless steel hose is used,

it must be so installed that it cannot come into

contact with a movable part of the unit and is

not obstructed and so that its whole length can

be inspected.

The cooktop connection is made up as follows:

− 1 nipple or 1 nut “A”

−1bicone“B”

− union elbow “C”:

- cylindrical – for Italy, France, Spain and Portugal

- conical – for Germany

IMPORTANT:

− Never turn union C forcibly without first

slackening nipple or nut A. In versions with

bicone “A”, use 2 spanners for this operation.

Never leave it in the horizontal or vertical

position.

− Gasket F and bicone B are the elements which

If a gas different from that indicated on the label is

used, adapt the cooktop to this new function.

Each cooktop comes with a set of injectors for the

various types of gas.

Injectors not supplied can be obtained from the After-

Sales Service.

Proceed as follows:

1. Replace the injectors with the correct ones.

2. Connect the cooktop to the on-off tap with a tube

which is suitable for the gas to be used according

to the regulations in force.

3. Adjust the gas burner minima.

Replacing gas burner injectors

Choose the injectors to be replaced according to the

tables of Page 45.

The injector diameter, expressed in hundredths of a

millimetre, is marked on the injector bodies.

To replace the injectors proceed as follows:

− Remove the grids and extract the burner bodies

− With a spanner replace nozzles “J” with nozzles

suitable for the gas to be used.

The burners are so designed that there is no

need to adjust the primary air.
