We have designed your hob for
private domestic use.
With a view to the constant
improvement of our products, we
reserve the right to make any
changes in their technical, functional
or aesthetic characteristics as a result
of technical evolution.
These hobs are designed exclusively
for the cooking of drinks and
foodstuffs. These products do not
contain any asbestos-based
component parts.
You must always keep an eye on your
cooking.
Read the instructions before installing
and using the apparatus.
Never leave any CLEANING or
INFLAMMABLE products in the
cupboard beneath your hob (aerosols
or other pressurised cans, papers,
recipe books, etc.).
Using a gas-powered hob produces
both heat and humidity in the room
where it is used. Make sure your
kitchen is well ventilated.
Keep all natural ventilation inlets
open or install a mechanical
ventilation device. Intensive and
Your hob in complete safety
prolonged use of this appliance may
require additional ventilation, (for
example by opening the window), or
more effective ventilation (for
example by increasing the power of
the mechanical ventilation if this
exists).
Disconnect your hob from both
electrical and gas supplies before
carrying out any maintenance
operations.
For safety reasons, do not forget to
close the main gas valve for built in
gas lines.
The connector pipe should remain
accessible along its entire length and
must be replaced before its expiration
date (marked on the pipe).
Regardless of the means of
connection chosen, ensure that this is
totally free of leaks following
installation using soapy water.
If a knob is difficult to turn, DO NOT
FORCE IT. Call up your installer.
Should a crack appear on the
glass, disconnect your appliance
immediately and contact your
After-Sales Service.

Fitting recommendations
This appliance should be installed by
a qualified technician / installer.
Prior to installation, ensure that the
local distribution conditions (nature
of the gas and gas pressure) and the
adjustment conditions of the
appliance are compatible.
This appliance must be installed and
connected in compliance with the
regulations in force, and used only in a
well-ventilated area. Consult the
instructions before installing and using
this appliance.
Since this appliance is not connected to a
combustion products evacuation device,
particular attention should be given to the
relevant requirements regarding
ventilation.
On this subject, combustion can take
place only if oxygen from the air is
present, so this air must be constantly
renewed and the combustion products
must be evacuated (a minimum air input
of 2 m3/hour per kW of gas energy is
required).
E.g. : for a 30 cm hob with 2 gas-rings
Total power: 4.6kW
4,6 kW x 2 = 9.2 m3/h
minimum flow-rate.

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 utensils.
If a horizontal partition is put under
the hob, it must be placed between 10
and 15 cm from the bottom of the
work top. In any case, do not keep
any sprays or pressurized containers
in the compartment which could be
just under the hob.
Fitting recommendations (cont'd)
Installing your hob in all simplicity
To ensure sealing between the cupboard
and the worktop follow points below :
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 worktop paying
attention not to damage the control
knobs and lighters.
3- Stick the foam seal around the out-
side of the hob.
4- Put the hob back the right way up
and place the burners, caps and pan
grates back in position.
Seal
99637181_GB_B.qxd 12/05/05 11:15 Page 6

Installing your hob in all simplicity
- Place the hob in position in the cutout
on the worktop, pulling it forward as far

Connecting the gas supply
If the hob is installed above an oven or if
the proximity of other heat generating ele-
ments threatens to cause the connection
to heat up, it is vital that the connection be
made using a rigid pipe. If a hose or soft
pipe is used, it must not come into contact
with any of the unit's moving parts or en-
ter an area that is likely to be obstructed.
●Preliminary remarks
The gas supply must be connected in
line with current regulations in the
country of installation.

• 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.
•
Each burner is controlled by a tap
fitted with a safety system, which cuts the
gas off automatically if ever the flame goes out
by accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).
• The safety system for the burners is a metal
rod next to the flame.
• Your hob is equipped with an
automatic lighting system integrated into
each control knob.
•
Choose the gas burner you need using
the symbols at the side of each control
knob; (E.g. back burner ).

●Lighting a hob FITTED WITH A SAFETY
DEVICE
To set off the safety system, keep the knob
pressed completely down for a few seconds
after the flame has lit up.
Sparker
Gas safety
device
- 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.
- Should there be an electricity cut, you can always light a burner using a match and by pres-
sing down on the control knob at the same time.

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 benea-
th an empty pan.
Do not use pans whose bases or
handles may partially cover
control knobs.
Do not use heat regulators, toasters,
steel meat grills or stew-pots that tou-
ch the glass-top.

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a
mechanically ventilated hood).
- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window
for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing
mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.)
E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings
Total power: 4.6 kW.
4,6 kW x 2 = 9.2 m3/h minimum flow-rate.

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
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.
HOW TO PROCEED ACCESSORIES TO
BE USED
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.

- It is better to clean the elements of your hob by hand, do not put any parts in
the dishwasher.
- Never use scouring pads for cleaning your hob.
- Do not use a steam cleaner.
Should a crack appear on the glass, disconnect your appliance
immediately and contact your After-Sales Service.

You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly. This does not
necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points
If your table is fitted with a gas
safety system and the flames go out
as soon as you release the control
knob.
In the low position the flames go
out or are too high.
Flames are irregular.
- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.
- Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that
have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating"
chapter).
Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with HONG KONG
town 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-ring before putting a pan on it.
- Push the control knob down completely and keep it under pressure
for a few seconds after the burner has lit.
- Check that the burner parts are in place.
- Check that the sealing rings under the control knobs have not come
out of place.
- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.
- Light the burner before putting your pan on it.
