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.

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.

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.
