INSTALLATION
Notes for the installer:
The tter should:
• Bear a valid certicate of Gas Safe Registration
• Have studied the contents of the appliance’s type plate containing the suitable
type of gas. Compare the data with the characteristics of the gas available in the
supply.
• Check the following:
- ventilation capacity, incl. air exchange in the kitchen,
- tightness and sealing of the gas ttings,
- effectiveness and correct operation of all the functional elements.
• Adjust the settings of the gas control knobs with the washers included to ensure
the igniters work properly and the entire system is leak-proof;
- check the operation of the igniters and leak seal,
- remove the knob if working incorrectly, and adjust by introducing washer(s)
onto the valve spindle,
- check the operation of the igniters and leak seal,
- secure the system with a tight washer and put the knob handle on.
• Issue a certicate of connecting the appliance and inform the user of the opera-
tion.
The cooktop is equipped with an R1/2” connecting pipe for gas connection. If the appliance
is intended for use with LPG (propane – butane), a Ø 8 x 1 mm hose coupling is threaded
onto the connector.
Make sure the gas connecting pipe does not come in contact with the metal components of
the cooktop.

INSTALLATION
Please make sure you have read and understood the entire operating manual. Do
follow the instructions to ensure safe and effective operation of your cooktop.
NOTE
The appliance uses gas, which is a ammable and explosive substance. Thus, it is
necessary for the cooktop to be connected to a gas network which supplies the gas
type for which the appliance is suitable.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer, service agency
or gas supplier.
Please check the type plate for the information concerning the suitable gas type for
your appliance.
NOTE
The cooktops delivered by the supplier come with the burners which are suitable
for burning the type of gas which is quoted in the type plate and in the guarantee
certicate. The type plate is tted at the bottom panel of the appliance. The following
must be carried out if converting to another gas type is required:
- nozzles must be replaced (see assembling table),
- reduced valve ow rate must be adjusted.
Converting the unit to another gas type
Only a licensed and authorised technician may carry out this job.
If the available gas type is different from that provided in the type plate of the appliance 2H
(G20/20 mbar), the burner nozzles should be replaced and ame adjusted.

Valve adjustment should be done with the control knob set at Burner ON saving ame po-
sition.
Remove the knob, and adjust the ame with a tiny screwdriver (see g. 7 below).
Fig. 7
Checking the adjusted ame: heat the burner at full open position for 10 minutes. Then turn
the knob into the saving setting. The ame should not extinguish nor move to the nozzle. If
it goes off or moves over to the nozzle, readjust the valves.
These adjustments must be performed by a qualied and Gas Safe
Registered installer, service agency or gas supplier. All the relevant
safety regulations must be observed.
Failure to observe this policy may affect your warranty

OPERATION
Flame selection
If the burners are adjusted correctly, the ames should be light blue, and the inner cone
should be clearly visible. The size of ame depends on the position of the related burner
control knob.
See also g. 8 for various operating options (ame size selection); the burner should be set
at a large ame during the initial phase of cooking to bring the food to boiling, and then the
knob should be turned to the saving ame position to maintain the cooking. It is also possible
to adjust the ame size stepless.

Suitable pans
Please do pay attention to the pan size in relation to the ame diameter in accordance with
the instructions above.
If you have the ame too high then the heat will be forced up the outside of the pan not only
wasting energy and costing you more to cook the food but it can also make the handles of
the pan very hot.
The use of a lid will not only reduce the cooking time but it will also save a considerable
amount of energy and the use of a lid when cooking is highly recommended.
Following these simple tips will save you both time and money.
No Yes
No
Most types of pan are suitable for use on a gas hob but please check the base where on
most modern pans logos will be used to indicate suitability for use on the various types
of cooking surface.
Bear in mind that the diameter of the pot must be at least slightly larger than that of the
ame.
It is recommended to use pots the diameters of which exceed the diameters of the ame
by 2.5 – 3 times;
• For the small burner, the most suitable pot will be 90-140 mm in diameter,
• For the medium burner, the most suitable pot will be 140-220 mm in diameter,
• For the large burner, the most suitable pot will be 200-240 mm in diameter,
• For the WOK burner, the most suitable pot will be 220-260 mm in diameter,
• The height of the pot should not be larger than its diameter.
OPERATION
You can save signicant quantities of energy if the appliance is used correctly, parameters
set correctly, and appropriate cookware is used. The savings can be as follows:
• Up to 60 per cent savings when proper pots are used,
• Up to 60 per cent savings when the unit is operated correctly and the suitable ame size
is chosen.
It is a prerequisite for efcient and energy-saving operation of the cooktop that the burners
are kept clean at all times (in particular the ame slots and nozzles).

16
OPERATION
Using cooktops with control knob ignition (Zp)
• Press the selected control knob and turn anti-clockwise into Burner ON large ame
position.
• Hold depressed until gas is on re
• Release the knob and set the required ame size.
Using cooktops with leak protection (Zt)
spark igniter
protection
For your safety all Amica gas hob models are tted with safety thermocouples.
The purpose of a thermocouple is to switch off the gas supply to the burner where no ame
is detected.
Normal use of such system is very easy, simply hold the burner’s control knob depressed for
approx. 10 seconds in Burner ON large ame position.
This period of holding the control knob allows the thermocouople to heat up and ”sense”
that there is a ame present. Should you release the control knob to early the ame will
extinquish.
When using on a low setting ensure that no wind or drafts can blow out the ame
