SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Caution: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
Warning: Use only hob guards designed by manufacturer
of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of
the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob
guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropri-
ate guards can cause accidents.
●This appliance must be installed in accordance with the applicable regulations and used
only in a well-ventilated room. Before you install and use the appliance, carefully read the
operating instructions.
●Children shall not play with the appliance.
Hot burners, grids, pots with hot liquids may cause burns to children.
●Make sure that the power cords of other equipment do not touch any hot surfaces of the

NOTES ON SAFETY
●IF YOU SUSPECT A GAS LEAK, DO NOT:
light matches, smoke, turn on or o󰀨 any electrical devices (door bell, light switch, etc.) and use
other electrical or mechanical equipment that can produce an electrical or impact spark. In such a
case, immediately close the valve on the gas cylinder or the gas system shut-o󰀨 valve, ventilate
the room and call a qualied person to remove the cause of the leak.
●In the event of any technical fault, immediately unplug the appliance (following the above rule) and
report the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
●Do not connect any antenna cables, e.g.radio receivers to the gas system
● In the event of ignition of gas escaping from a leaking system, immediately shut o󰀨 the
gas supply using the shut-o󰀨 valve.
● In the event of ignition of gas escaping from a leaking gas cylinder valve: cover the cylinder
with a wet blanket to cool it and close the valve on the cylinder. Once cooled, move the
gas cylinder out to the open air. Do not reuse the damaged gas cylinder.
●If you do not use the appliance for a few days, close the gas system main valve, and after
each use in case of a gas cylinder.
●Important! If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer or
specialist repair centre or a qualied person in order to avoid danger.
●Using the appliance for cooking and baking results in the emission of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Make sure that kitchen is well ventilated. Natural ventilation
openings or forced mechanical ventilation (exhaust hood) should be available.
●Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example,
opening a window or a more e󰀨ective ventilation, such as increasing e󰀩ciency of
mechanical ventilation, if applicable.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy responsibly
not only saves money but
also helps the environment.
So let’s save energy! And
this is how you can do it:
● Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, at bases can save up to 1/3
on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times
as much energy!
● Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating zone.
Cookware base should never be smaller than
cooking zone.
● Ensure that heating zones and pan
bases are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
● Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!)
● Turn o󰀨 the appliance in time and use
the residual heat.
For long cooking times, turn o󰀨 heating zones
5 to 10 minutes before nishing cooking. This
saves up to 20% on energy.
● Do not install the hob in the imme-
diate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

INSTALLING
Tips for the installer
The installer must:
●Have appropriate qualication
●Read the information on the nameplate
or information sticker concerning the
type of gas, for which the appliance is
intended. This information must be com-
pared with the gas supply specication
at the place of installation.
●Check
- e󰀨ectiveness of ventilation, i.e. ex-
change of air in the room.
- tightness of gas ttings.
- proper operation all the functional
components.
●For proper operation of igniters and
flame failure cut-off device, adjust
the position of the gas knobs with the
supplied washers,
- check the operation of igniters and
ame failure cut-o󰀨 device,
- In the event of faulty operation, remove
the knob, make adjustments by insert-
ing a washer (washers) on the valve pin,
- once adjusted, protect the system with
a clamping washer and replace the
knob.
●Provide the user with the gas hob in-
stallation certicate and give instructions
on the appliance operation.
CAUTION!
Only a qualied person must con-
nect the appliance to a liquid gas
cylinder or an existing system, fol-
lowing all safety regulations.
The appliance has an G 1/2" threaded pipe
connector to connect it to the gas system.
The LPG (propane-butane) hob version has
the connector terminated with a hose tip ∅
8 x 1 mm.
Gas supply hose should not touch the metal
parts of the cover.
ENSURE the connections are tight.
Once you install the appliance,
check all connections for leaks, for
example using soapy water.
Do not use re to check the con-
nections.
Carefully read the operating in-
structions supplied and follow all
guidelines.
CAUTION!
You are dealing with gas. The appli-
ance must be supplied with the type
of gas specied by the manufacturer.
Only a qualied person must in-
stall the appliance.
Information on the type of gas for
which the appliance is designed is
given on the nameplate.
Depending on your needs, you can
gradually adjust the ame by turn-
ing the knob to the left or right.
As turn the knob, the flame will
slightly increase or decrease de-
pending on the direction of rotation.

15
CAUTION!
Hobs supplied by the manufacturer are tted
with burners designed for the gas specied
on the nameplate and in the warranty.
Nameplate is located on the bottom of the
housing and lists information on the type of
gas the appliance is intended for.
In order to adapt the hob to another gas type:
• replace the nozzles (see table),
• adjust the valves for a reduced ow.
Adapt the hob to a particular
type of gas
This may be performed by an installer with
the appropriate qualications only.
If the gas, which the hob will be supplied with
is di󰀨erent from the gas type specied by the
manufacturer, i.e. G20 20 mbar, replace the
burner nozzles and adjust the ame.

Replace burner nozzle: unscrew the nozzle using a special
wrench no. 7 and replace with a new one suitable for the new
gas type (see table above).
Once converted, place a sticker indicating the gas type for which the appliance
is intended.

Adjust the valves
To adjust the valves turn the burner knob to
"economic ame" position and ignite the ame.
In order to check the ame, heat up the burner
on a full ame for about 10 min., and then
turn the burner knob to an economic ame
position. The ame should not go out or jump
on the nozzle. However, if it does, readjust
of the valves.
Conversion of the appliance to a
di󰀨erent gas type than specied by
the manufacturer on the nameplate
or purchasing an appliance that is
intended for a di󰀨erent gas type
than provided in the building, is
entirely up to the user and installer.
For COPRECI valves, remove the knob and
adjust the size of an economic ame with a
screwdriver.

OPERATION
To achieve significant energy savings,
use the appliance as instructed in these
operating instructions, make the appropriate
adjustments and use suitable pots.
Potential energy savings:
●up to 60%, when using appropriate pots,
● up to 60%, when using the appliance
according to the instructions and correctly
adjusting the ame when cooking.
Keeping the burners clean is crucial to an
e󰀩cient energy consumption by the appliance
(especially the ame outlets and nozzles).
Make sure that the diameter of the bottom
of the pot is always slightly larger than the
crown of the burner ame, and the pot itself
is covered with a lid.It is recommended that
the pot diameter is approximately 2.5 - 3 times
larger than the burner:
●small burner — pot diameter of 100 to
140 mm,
● medium burner — pot diameter of 140 to
220 mm,
● large burner — pot diameter of 200 to
240 mm
● WOK burner — pot diameter of 220 to
260 mm
●the pot height should not be greater than
its diameter
Cookware lid:
Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus
reduces heating time.
Choice of cookware
Do not use cookware that protrude
over the edges of the hob.

Using the hob equipped with a flame-
failure cut-o󰀨 device ("Zt" model)
In hobs equipped with a ame-failure
cut-o󰀨 device, hold the pushed down
knob in the "large ame" position for
approximately 10 seconds to activate
the a ame-failure device .
Repeat the above step if ame does
not ignite.
If ame is extinguished, the ame-
failure device will cut o󰀨 gas supply
within about 60 seconds.
You can open and control the gas
supply to the burners using knobs
with ame-failure cut-o󰀨 device (Zt
models).
