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.

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.
29
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).
31
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
33
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
cm
2
.
If the appliance does not have a no-
flame safety device this opening must
have an area of at least 200 cm
2
.
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.

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.
✓
After connecting to the mains,
check that the couplings are cor-
rectly sealed, using soapy solution,
but never a naked flame.
