 Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Should the appliance be sold or

transferred to a new owner, or should you move

house, ensure the operating instructions remain with

the appliance for operation and safety information.

 Please read the instructions carefully: they contain

important information on installation, operation and

safety.

Positioning

 Keep packaging material out of the reach of

children and dispose according to the regulations on

separate waste collection (see Precautions and tips).

 The appliance must be installed by a qualified

professional in accordance with the instructions

provided. Incorrect installation may harm people and

animals or may damage property.

 The conditions relating to the adjustment procedure

are listed on the label (or on the data plate).

 The appliance must be installed in ventilated

rooms only and in accordance with current national

legislation. The following requirements must be

fulfilled:

 The room must be fitted with an air extraction

system to expel combustion fumes. This may

consist of a cooker hood or an electric fan which

automatically activates every time the appliance

is switched on.

 The room must contain a system ensuring

sufficient air flow for steady combustion. The flow

of air must not be less than 2 m

3

/h per kW of

installed power.

The air flow system may take in air directly from the

outside through a duct having an inner cross-section

of at least 100 cm

2

; the opening must be kept clear

to avoid accidental blockages.

The system can also provide the air needed for

combustion indirectly, i.e.

from adjacent rooms fitted

with air circulation ducts as

described above. However,

these rooms must not be

common rooms, bedrooms or

rooms presenting a fire

hazard.

 Liquid petroleum gas sinks

to the floor as it is heavier

than air. Therefore, rooms

containing LPG cylinders must

be equipped with vents to

allow gas to escape from the

bottom in the event of a leak.

Consequently, LPG cylinders,

whether partially or completely full, must not be

installed or stored in rooms or storage areas

which are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only

the cylinder currently being used should be kept

in the room. It must not be exposed to direct heat

sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) which

could raise the temperature of the cylinder above

50°C.

Fitting the hob above a furniture unit

The furniture unit or any other compartment housing

the hob must be appropriate in order to ensure the

hob functions correctly.

The built-in hob has the following technical

specifications:

- P941A-P950A: -Category II 2H3+ -Class 3 -Type Y

- P941AS-P950AS: -Category III 1a2H3+ -Class 3 -

Type Y

The picture shows the

installation diagram with the

compartment dimensions.

The minimum distance

between the hob and the rear

wall must be at least 60 mm.

If installing the hob close to

corners, the minimum

distance from the side wall

must be at least 100 mm.

Hoods must be installed

according to their relative

installation instruction manuals

and at a minimum distance of

650 mm from the hob.

If the hob is fitted above a furniture unit with doors,

the operation of the hob will not be effected by the

opening and closing of the unit doors.

Fitting the hob above a furniture unit with oven

All the necessary precautions must be taken in order

to install the appliance according to current

accident-prevention regulations for gas and

electrical connections.

To avoid overheating, the power supply cable and

the gas pipe must not come into contact with the hot

areas of the oven casing.

If the hob is fitted above a built-in oven without a

forced ventilation cooling system, suitable air vents

must be placed as shown in Fig. 8 (lower input vent

of at least 200 cm², upper output vent of at least 120

cm²) so the inside of the

furniture unit is adequately

aerated (see picture).

Furthermore, a wooden board

A must be placed beneath

the hob for heat insulation. It

must be at least 15 mm from

the hob casing (see picture).

Fitting the hob to the worktop

The hob must be fitted to the worktop in the

following manner:

 Mount the provided clamps B and partially

tighten the screws A in the relative holes.

 Place the provided sealing gasket X 5-6 mm

from the cut-out edge,

ensuring the ends of the seal

meet without overlapping.

 Fit the hob into the cut-out,

centre it and ensure the hob

edge adheres to the seal.

 Place the clamps B

correctly and then tightly

fasten the screws A.

Electrical connections

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply

cable are designed to operate with alternating

current at the voltage and frequency indicated on

the data plate (located on the underside of the hob).

The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow

covering. If the hob is to be fitted above a built-in

electric oven, the hob and oven electrical

connections must be carried out separately, both for

electrical safety purposes and to facilitate oven

extraction.

Replacing the cable

Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F. The yellow-

green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than the

other wires.

Connecting the electricity supply cable to the

mains

Mount a normalised plug corresponding to the load

indicated on the data plate.

When connecting the appliance directly to the

mains, an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact

opening of 3 mm must be installed between the

appliance and the mains. The switch should be

sized for the required load and must comply with

current electrical regulations (the earth wire must not

be interrupted by the switch). The supply cable

must be properly positioned to avoid reaching more

than 50°C above room temperature, at any point

along its length.

 The installer is held responsible for the correct

electrical connection and for the observance of

safety regulations.

Before connecting the appliance to the power

supply, ensure that

 The appliance is earthed and the plug complies with

regulations.

 The socket can withstand the maximum power of

the appliance, which is indicated on the data

plate.

 The voltage falls between the values indicated on

the data plate.

 The socket is compatible with the appliance plug.

If not, the socket or plug must be replaced; do

not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

 Once the appliance has been installed, the power

supply cable and the electrical socket must be

easily accessible.

 The cable must not be subject to bending or

compression.

 The cable must be checked regularly and replaced

by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

 The manufacturer declines any liability should

these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connections

The appliance must be connected to the main gas

supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with

current national regulations. Before carrying out the

connection, make sure the hob is compatible with

the gas supply you wish to use. If this is not the

case, follow the instructions indicated in the

paragraph Adapting to different types of gas.

When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a

pressure regulator that complies with current national

regulations.

GB

 Check that the pressure of the gas supply is

consistent with the values indicated in Table 1

(Burner and nozzle specifications). This will ensure

the safe operation and longevity of your appliance

while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Connection with a rigid hose (copper or steel)

 Connection to the gas system must be carried out

in such a way as not to place strain of any kind on

the appliance.

An adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting is found on the

appliance supply ramp; it is fitted with a seal in

order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be

replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (the seal is

provided with the appliance). The gas supply pipe

fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male

attachment.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel

hose to a threaded attachment

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas

cylindrical male attachment.

These pipes must be installed so that they are never

longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once

connection has been carried out, make sure that the

flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts

and is not compressed.

 Only use pipes and seals that comply with current

national regulations.

Checking for gas tightness

 When the installation process is complete, check

the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution.

Never use a flame.

Adapting the hob to different types of gas

To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other

than the default type (indicated on the data plate at

the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner

nozzles should be replaced as follows:

1. Remove the hob

grids and slide the

burners off.

2. Unscrew the nozzles

using a 7 mm socket

spanner, and replace

them with nozzles for

the new type of gas

(see Table 1 Burner and nozzle characteristics).

3. Reassemble the parts repeating the above

procedure in the reverse order.

4. Replace the old rating sticker with one indicating

the new type of gas used, once this procedure is

completed. Stickers are available from any of our

Customer Service Centres.

 Adjusting the burners primary air:

No primary air adjusting is required.

 Burner minimum setting

1. Turn the tap to minimum.

2. Remove the knob

and turn the adjustment

screw, which is in or

next to the tap pin, until

the flame is small but

steady.

3. Check that the flame does not go out when turning

the knob quickly from maximum to minimum.

4. Some appliances have a safety device

(thermocouple) fitted. If the device fails to work

when the burners are set to minimum, increase

the flame setting using the adjustment screw.

5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the

seals on the by-passes using sealing wax or a

similar substance.

 If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the

adjustment screw must be fastened tightly.

 Once this procedure is completed, replace the old

rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas

used. Stickers are available from any of our
