Installation

a) If the cabinet(s) located next to the cooktop are

higher than the cooktop itself, the cabinet(s) must be

installed at least 100 mm from the edge cooktop;

b) Hoods must be installed in accordance with the

instructions contained in the installation manual for

the hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm

from the cooktop;

c) In the case of the 900 mm cooker hoods, besides

following the recommendations in point b), the

cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at a

height of at least 540 mm from the top . The cabinet

should always be installed at a height from the top

which allows easy use of pots and pans on the

cooker.

d) Should the cooktop be installed directly under a

cupboard, the latter should be at least 700 mm

(millimetres) from the top, as shown in Figure.

e) The dimensions of the cutout for the appliance must

be those indicated in the figure. Clamps are provided

to fasten the cooktop to counters measuring from 20

to 40 mm in thickness. To fasten the cooktop

securely, it is recommended that all the clamps be

used.

Fixing to the housing unit

Proceed with fixing to the housing unit as follows (fig.1):

· mount the hooks “B”, partly tightening the provided

screws “A” into the relative holes;

· position the provided sealing gasket “X” 5÷6 mm from

the edge of the installation hole, matching up the two

ends of the seal without overlapping;

· insert the hob into the hole, making sure it is

positioned centrally and that the edge adheres to the

sealant;

· position the hooks “B” correctly, as shown in figure

and then tighten the screws “A” to hold them in place;

Gas connection

Gas supply connection

• Check that the appliance is set for the type of gas

available and then connect it to the mains gas piping

or the gas cylinder in compliance with current

regulations and standards.

• This appliance is designed and set to work with the

gas indicated on the label situated on the actual hob.

If the gas supply is other than the type for which the

appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the

corresponding nozzles (provided), following

instructions given in the paragraph “Adaptation to

different types of gas”.

• For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and

longer life of the appliance, make sure that the supply

pressure complies with the values indicated in the

table 1 "burners and nozzles specifications, otherwise

install a special pressure regulator on the supply pipe

in compliance with current standards and regulations.

• Connect in such a way that the appliance is

subjected to no strain whatsoever.

Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with

the standards in force must be used for connecting to

the nipple union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at

the rear of the appliance to the right (Fig.2), or flexible

steel pipe in compliance with the standards in force,

which must not exceed 2000 mm in length.

Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket

(supplied with the appliance) must be replaced.

Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit,

the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a

soapy solution (never a flame).

Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into

contact with moving parts which could damage or

crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is

adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when

all the burners are lit.

Important: A pressure regulator, in compliance with the

Fig.2

Min.

700mm

standards in force, must be inserted when connecting

to a liquid gas supply (in a cylinder).

Adaptation to a different type of gas

If the hob is to be converted for use with a type of gas

other than that for which it was set in the factory

(indicated on the label to be found on the hob), the

burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

• Remove the pan supports and the burners.

• Unscrew the nozzles “A” using a 7 mm socket

wrench and replace them with the ones which have a

diameter suitable for the type of gas to be used,

according to the table 1 "burners and nozzles

specifications).

• Reassemble the parts following the instructions in

reverse order.

• On completing the operation, replace the old rating

label with the one showing the new type of gas; the

sticker is available from our Service Centres.

Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner

The burners do not need a primary air regulator.

Minimum Regulation

• Turn the gas valve to minimum.

· Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw,

situated inside of the tap stem, using a screwdriver

(loosening the screw increases the height of the

flame, tightening decreases it).

N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw

must be fully screwed in (clockwise).

• Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly high

to low, the flame does not go out.

• In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the

security device (thermocouple) when the gas supply

is set at minimum, increase the minimum supply

levels using the regulator screw.

Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing

wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the by-

pass.

Electrical connection

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The hob is designed to work with alternating current at

the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating

plate (situated under the hob or at the end of the

instruction booklet). Make sure that the local supply

voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the

rating plate.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity

supply

For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug,

suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto

the cable and connect to a suitable socket. To connect

directly to the mains supply, a double-pole switch with a

contact separation of at least 3 mm suitable for the load

and complying with current standards and regulations,

must be fitted between the appliance and the mains

supply outlet. The yellow-green earth wire must not be

interrupted by the switch. The supply cable must be in

such a position that no part of it can reach a temperatu-

re of 50 °C above room temperature. For installation

above a built-under oven, the hob and the oven must be

connected separately to the electricity supply both for

safety reasons and for easy removal of the oven if

necessary. Do not use adapters or shunts as they could

cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the

power supply, make sure that:

• the limiter valve and the domestic system can

withstand the load from the appliance (see rating

plate);

• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to

standards and laws in force;

• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible

when the appliance is installed.

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not

correspond with the coloured markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E”

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or

coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal

marked “N” or coloured Black. FAILURE TO OBSERVE

THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS

RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.

Replacing the cable

Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a suitable

cross section 3 x 1.5 mm². The yellow-green earth wire

must be 2-3 cm longer than the other wires.

GAS BURNERS

• GAS BURNERS differ in size and power. Use the

diameter of the cookware to choose the most

appropriate burner to cook with.

• Control Knobs for GAS BURNERS adjust the

power or the size of the flame.

• GAS BURNERS ignition enables a specific burner

to be lit automatically.

! The position of the corresponding gas burner is

shown on every knob.

Practical advice on using the burners

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following

settings using the corresponding control knob:

0 Off

Maximum

Minimum

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter

near the burner and, at the same time, press down

and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the

maximum setting.

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the

knob should be pressed for approximately 6 seconds

to allow the automatic device keeping the flame

alight to heat up.

When using models with an ignition button, light the

desired burner by first pressing the gas burners

button (identifiable by the

symbol), then pressing

down the corresponding knob as far as possible and

turning it anticlockwise towards the maximum

setting.

! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the

control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before

trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise

direction until it stops (when reaches the “0” position).

When the selector knob is in any position other than

the off position, the ‘on’ light comes on.

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see

table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the

bottom of the cookware.

• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,

turn the knob to minimum.
