GAS BURNERS

USE OF THE HOB

The flow of gas to the burners is adju-

sted by the knobs of Fig. 2 which control

the safety closure taps.

Line up the needle of the knob with the

symbols printed on the panel:

✓ full disc

● = tap closed

✓ symbol = max. opening or

max. flow

✓ symbol = min. opening or

min. flow

✓ To light one of the burners, bring a

flame close to the upper part of the

burner, then press and turn the

corresponding knob anticlockwise

until the symbol representing a large

flame (max flow) lines up with the

panel reference.

✓ For reduced flow, turn the knob

further until it stops at the symbol

representing the maximum flame.

✓ Use the maximum flow to bring liquids

to the boil quickly and the reduced

flow to heat foods slowly or for

simmering.

✓ All the operating positions must be

chosen between the maximum and

minimum positions and never

between the maximum position and

off.

CHOICE OF BURNER

The symbols printed on the panel by the

side of the knob indicate the correspon-

dence between knob and burner.

Choose the suitable burner depending

on the cookware diameter and capacity.

The pan diameter should be suitable for

the burner power to make the most of

the burner's high efficiency and not

waste fuel.

A small pan does not boil more quickly

on the large burner.

Attention: During use the hob

becomes very hot under the

cooking zones.

Keep children away.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

BURNERS AND GRIDS

✓ These pieces can be removed and

washed with suitable products.

✓ After cleaning burners and spreaders

dry them well and replace them

correctly.

✓ In appliances with electric ignition

keep the electrode clean so that the

sparks always strike.

✓ Note: To avoid damage to the electric

ignition do not use it when the burners

are not in place.

GENERAL TIPS

✓ Before cleaning the hob switch it

off and wait for it to cool down.

✓ Clean with a cloth wetted with hot

water and soap 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 hob.

ENAMELLED PARTS

✓ All the enamelled parts must be

washed only with a sponge with

soapy water or other non-abrasive

products.

✓ Dry carefully.

STAINLESS STEEL HOB

✓ Clean with special products which

are available on the market.

✓ Clean preferably with chamois

leather.

✓ Note: regular use could cause

discolouring around the burners,

because of the high flame

temperature.

GAS TAPS

✓ Regular lubrication of the gas taps

must only be performed by specialised

engineers.

✓ If the gas taps are not working

properly call the After-Sales Service

HOBS WITH GLASS COVER

✓ Do not close the glass cover when the

burners or electric hot plate are still

hot and when the oven under the hob

(if installed) is on or still hot.

✓ Do not place pans or heavy objects

on the cover.

✓ Dry any liquid spilt on the cover

before opening it.

CORRECT POSITIONING OF THE

BURNERS

It is very important to check that sprea-

der F and cap C of the burner (see Figs

5 - 6) are perfectly in place because if

they move out of place serious problems

could arise.

Make sure that electrode "S" (Fig. 6) is

kept clean so that the sparks always

strike.

TIPS FOR INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

✓The hob should only be installed by a

qualified installer.

Failure to observe this rule leads to

cancellation of the guarantee.

✓The appliance must be installed cor-

rectly, in compliance with the regula-

tions in force and following the manu-

facturer's instructions.

✓Any operation must be performed with

the appliance switched off.

✓ These appliances have been

designed and manufactured to be

fitted into heat-resistant units.

✓ These hobs are designed to be fit-

ted into 600 mm deep kitchen

units.

✓ The unit walls must not be higher

that the working surface and must

withstand a temperature of 75°C

more than room temperature.

✓ Avoid installation near inflammable

materials (e.g. curtains).

To fit the hob into the unit make an ope-

ning of the dimensions given in Figure 7,

remembering that:

✓ Inside the unit there must be a space

of at least 30 mm between the bottom

of the hob and the top of a shelf.

✓ Any wall to the side and above the

hob must be at least 100 mm away

(Fig. 7).

✓ The wall behind the hob must be at

least 35 mm away (Fig. 7).

✓ When there is a wall unit or hood

above the hob there must be at least

650 mm between the hob and the unit

or hood (see also Fig. 8).

✓ When the hob is installed without an

oven, a distance piece must be used

between the bottom of the hob and

the unit where it is being fitted.

✓ If an oven and hob are being installed

(which is thus possible) the distance

between the two appliances must be

at least 30 mm. Work downstream of

the gas mains independent connec-

tions.

MOUNTING THE FASTENING TABS

(fig. 10)

✓ Each hob is supplied with a set of tabs

and screws to fasten it to units from 2

to 4 cm thick.

✓ Turn the hob over and put tabs "A" into

the mountings; only tighten screws "B"

a few turns.

✓ Make sure that the tabs are mounted

correctly as shown in Figure 10.

FASTENING THE HOB (fig. 10)

✓ Stretch gasket "C" above the unit

along the edge of the hole made,

being careful to overlay the joining

edges.

✓ Put the hob into the hole cut into the

unit and position it correctly.

✓ Put tabs "A" into place and tighten

screws "B" until the hob is completely

secured.

✓ Using a sharp tool cut off the part of

the gasket which sticks out from the

hob.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION ROOM

The room where the gas appliance is to

be installed must have a natural flow of

air so that the gas can burn.

The flow of air must come directly from

one or more openings made in the outsi-

de walls with a free area of at least 100

If the appliance does not have a no-

flame safety device this opening must

have an area of at least 200 cm

The openings should be near the floor

and preferably on the side opposite the

exhaust for combustion products and

must be so made that they cannot be

blocked from either the outside or the

outside.

When these openings cannot be made

the necessary air can come from an

adjacent room which is ventilated as

required, as long as it is not a bedroom

or a dangerous area.

In this case the kitchen door must allow

the passage of the air.

DISCHARGE OF THE COMBUSTION

PRODUCTS

The gas appliance combustion products

must be discharged through a hood con-

nected directly to the outside (Fig. 11).

When this is not possible an electric fan

can be used, fitted on the outside wall or

the window, with output which guaran-

tees a daily exchange of air of 3-5 times

the volume of the kitchen (Fig. 12).

The fan can only be installed if there are

air inlet openings as described in the

"Installation room" section.

Connection to the gas mains

✓ Cat: I 2L

The gas connection must be made in

compliance with the local regulations in

force.

Be careful when flexible metal pipes are

used that they do not come into contact

with moving parts or can be nipped.

To maintain the thickness of 3 cm, the

hob is fitted with a channel to contain the

connection pipe.

The gas inlet union can be turned in the

direction required after the union C - nip-

ple A connection has been slackened

with two spanners (Fig. 14).

Never put it in the horizontal or vertical

position.

GAS PART

TYPES OF GAS

The hob is set up and calibrated for

use with gas "G25 at the pressure of

25 mbar".

IMPORTANT:

✓ Never attempt to turn the fitting C

without having first slackened off

the relative lock nut (fig. 14).

✓

The seal F (fig. 13) is the element

that guarantees the seal in the

pipe-ramp connector.

It is recommended that it be

replaced whenever it shows even

the slightest deformation or imper-

fection.
