Installing your hob in all simplicity
The hob must be built into the work-
top of a support cupboard. This work-
top must be at least 3 cm thick and
heat-resistant or else coated with a
heat resistant material.
A side-clearance of at least 30 cm
should be left to the right and left of
the hob. A tall cupboard or partition
too close to the hob would hinder free
movement of kitchen ustensils.
If a horizontal partition is put under
the hob, it must be placed between 10
and 15 cm from the bottom of the
worktop. In any case, do not keep any
sprays or pressurized containers in the
compartment which could be just un-
der the hob.
To prevent any foreign bodies or liquid
from getting between the hob and the
worktop,
stick the foam seal provided in
the wallet in position before installing
the hob
. This will also protect your
work surface from the heat given out
by the hob.
1- remove the pan support grates, the
burner caps and heads after checking
their position.
2- Turn the hob over and place it
gently over the opening in the work-
top paying attention not to damage
the control knobs, thermocouples and
lighters.
3- Stick the foam seal around the
outside of the hob. This foam seal
ensures that no water can seep bet-
ween the top of the hob and the sur-
rounding work surface. It also helps to
insulate the work surface from the
heat of the hob.
4- Put the hob back the right way
up and place the burners, caps and
pan grates back in position.

Installing your hob in all simplicity
These hobs are supplied with a
plug & cord, simply plug into a 3 pin
household socket outlet which is pro-
perly earthed. In order to avoid ha-
zard, any electrical work performed on
this equipment or its associated
wiring, should only be done by per-
sons authorised by the supplier or si-
milarly qualified persons.
The socket outlet for this hotplate
shall be installed near the hotplate
and shall be easily accessible.
Electrical connections
All-gas hobs
The protective conductor is
connected to the earth
connection on the hob
and therefore must also be
connected to an external earth
connection .
If this cable is damaged, have it
replaced by your authorised ser-
vice agent as special tooling is re-
quired to connect it correctly.
Gas connections
The Gas connection is male 1/2” BSP
and is situated at the right hand rear
of the appliance, 50mm from the right
side and rear of the cooktop and
30mm below the benchtop. This ap-
pliance is suitable for connection with
rigid pipe only. When connecting to
Natural Gas, ensure the gas regulator
supplied with the hotplate is connec-
ted as close as practical to the gas in-
let. If connecting to Universal LPG, en-
sure the test point assembly supplied
with the hotplate is connected as clo-
se as possible to the gas inlet.
Commissioning test point
pressure (NG)
Appliance is factory set to 1.0 kPa
test point pressure. Check the test
point pressure with the Extra Fast
Burner operating at maximum flame
for the 2 burner model and the Wok
burner operating at maximum flame
for the 4 burner model.
Test point pressure (U-LPG)
If converting to Universal LPG, check
that the test point pressure is
2.75kPa.
Make sure that all gas
pipes and connections are
gas sound after installa-
tion by using soapy-water.
See the gas caracteristics table.

Preliminary remarks
Y
our hob is delivered regulated for
natural gas.
The injectors for adapting the hob for use with
butane or propane are in the wallet containing
the instructions, together with the adaptor and
the sealing washer.
Every time you change your gas supply,
stick the gas label supplied in the wallet
corresponding to the new type of gas.
When converting from Natural Gas to Uni-
versal LPG ensure that the NG regulator is
removed and replaced with the test Point
Assembly. A gas regulator suitable for a
supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part
of the gas tank supply. Check that the test
point pressure is 2.75kPa.
Turn the spanner clockwise un-
til the line appears on the other
side (fig. 3). Warning! Do not
go beyond this limit as you
are liable to cause damage.

Using your hob in all simplicity
How to use your gas burners?
- If ever your flame goes out, relight it as per normal procedure.
- The flames on the burner are smaller near the grate supports to avoid any damage
being done to the enamel.
- The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not
harm the quality of cooking in any way.
• Each burner has its own gas tap which
is opened by pressing down on the
control knob and then turning it anti-
clockwise.
The gas tap is closed when in the “” po-
sition.
• Choose the ring you need using the
symbols at the side of each control knob ;
(e.g. : Right back burner ).
• Your hob is fitted with an automatic
lighting system integrated into the control
knobs.
To ignite a burner, press down and turn the
knob anti-clockwise until it is pointing to
the maximum position .
Keep the knob pressed down. This will
trigger off a series of sparks that will light
up the burner.
Adjust the flame to the height your
require by turning the control knob
between the and symbols.
Lighting a hob
Sparker
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for de-
tecting leaks. Ignite all burners to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burnes and ignition.
Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame. When satisfied with the
hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the appliance
fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service
provider in your area.

Using your hob in all simplicity
Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner ?
Recommended pan sizes:
Adjust the flames so that they do not
lick up the side of your pan.
Do not use a pan with a convex or
concave bottom.
Do not leave the gas on beneath an
empty pan.
Do not use pans whose handles may
partially cover control knobs.
RIGHT WRONG
CONVEX
The appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of
gas. Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation by
opening a window or increasing the speed of the rangehood (a minimum air
input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required).
E.g. : for 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings
Total power : 12.0 + 8.0 + 5.4 + 3.4 = 28.8 MJ/h
28.8 x 2
= 16 m

Keeping your hob in good condition is easy if you clean it before it is completely
cold. Even so, never clean it when it is in use. Put all the electric and gas control
knobs at zero.
How to look after your hob?
Looking after
sparkers and
injectors
- If ever the sparkers
get dirty, clean them
with a stiff non-
metallic brush.
The gas injectors are
in the centre of each
burner in the form of
a "pot". Make sure not
to block them up partially when cleaning the
hob, as this will considerably reduce the
performance of your gas-rings.
- Small hard-bristled
brush.
- Safety pin.
Looking after
the grills and
gas burners
- Use a non-abrasive cream for removing any
persistent stains. Then rinse with clean
water. Dry each burner element carefully
before re-lighting your hob.
- Non-abrasive cream
- Household sponge.
Looking after
stainless steel
- Use polishing cream for cleaning the
enamel on the hob. Polish with a dry
clean cloth.
- Never allow any acid liquids such as
lemon juice, vinegar, etc. to remain in
contact with the enamel.
- Use a sponge and soapy water or a
standard stainless steel cleaner for
cleaning the stainless steel parts on
your hob.
- Standard stainless
steel cleaning

HOW TO PROCEED
ACCESSORIES TO
BE USED
- It is better to wash the parts of your hob by hand rather than in a dishwasher.
- Never use an abrasive sponge for cleaning your hob.
- Do not use a steam cleaner.

You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly .... ......
this does not
necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points :
Minor troubleshooting
In the low position the
flames go out or are
too high.
Flames are irregular.
- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.
Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with natural gas.
Check the adjustment of the low power screw (See paragraph
"Changing the type of gas supply").
- Check that the burners and injectors are clean and assembled
correctly.
- Check you have enough gas in your gas cylinders.
The knobs get hot during cooking.
Use small pans on the burners next to the control knobs.
Large pans are to be put on the large burners furthest away from the
knobs.
Put the pan in place with the burner in the middle. The pan should not
be above the control knobs.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?IF YOU REALIZE THAT
Lighting the burners:
There is no sparking when the
control knobs or buttons are pressed
down.
When you only press down one
control knob all the burners spark.
Sparking takes place but the burners
do not light up.
- Check the electrical connections on the hob.
- Check that the sparkers are clean.
- Check that the burners are clean and in position.
- If the hob is fixed to the worktop, make sure that the fixing clamps
have not been twisted.
- Check that the sealing rings have not come out of place.
This is normal. The lighter system is centralised, and all the burners
spark at the same time.
- Check that the gas inlet pipe has not been squashed.
- Check that the gas inlet pipe tube is less than 2m long.
- Check that the main gas tap is open.
- If you use gas tanks or cylinders check that they are not empty.
- If you have just installed your hob or changed a gas cylinder, keep
the control knob wide open for a few seconds so that the gas can get
through.
- Make sure the injector is not blocked up. if this is the case, clear it
with a safety pin.
- Light up your gas burner before putting a pan on it.
- Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that
have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating"
chapter).
