INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and adaptation
to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in conformity with the
regulations in force.
The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the installer.
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob
indicate the correspondence between the knob and the
burner.
Start-up without valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlocQkwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob
(fig. 1).
Automatic start-up with valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed
for about 6 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas,
it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable for the
burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid that
the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach
the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat
food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must
be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones,
never between the minimum position and the closing point.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob
clockwise up to the closing position.
If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners
with matches, setting the knob to the start-up point (large
flame, fig. 1).
BURNERS Power W Ø of pots
Auxiliary 1000 10 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 1750 16 - 18 cm
Rapid 3000 20 - 22 cm
Triple crown 3800 24 - 26 cm
Notice
- When the equipment is not working, always check that the
knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1).
- If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety valve
will automatically stop the gas supply, after a few seconds.
To restore operation, set the knob to the lighting point
(large flame, fig. 1) and press.
- While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as
these substances can catch fire when overheated.
- Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation.
- Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burner, so
as to prevent them from overturning or overflowing.
- Make sure that pot handles are placed properly.
- When the burner is started up, check that the flameis
regular and, before taking pots away, always lowerthe
flame or put it out.
CLEANING
Before any operation, disconnect the appliance from the
electric grid. Don't use a steam cleaner for the cleaning the
hob
It is advisable to clean the appliance when it is cold.
Enamelled parts

highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents for an
extended period of time.
The stainless steel parts should also be cleaned with soapy
water and then dried with a soft cloth.
Burners and racks
These parts can be removed to make cleaning easier.
The burners must be washed with a sponge and soapy water
or with a light detergent, wiped well and placed in their
housing perfectly. Make sure that the flame-dividing ducts
are not clogged.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
INSTALLATION
Installing the top
The appliance is designed to be embedded into heat-
resistant pieces of furniture.
The walls of the pieces of furniture must resist a
temperature at least a 90°C temperature.
The equipment must not be installed near
inflammable materials, such as curtains, cloths,etc.
Make a hole in the top of the piece of furniture,
with the dimensions indicated in fig. 3, at a distance
of at least 50 mm from the appliance border to the
adjacent walls.
MODEL L (mm) P (mm)
C748G / C766G 560 480-490 (*)
C773G 820 480-490 (*)
(*) Necessary size for the installation with cover.
Any possible wall unit over the cook-top must be
placed at a distance of at least 700 mm from the top.
It is advisable to isolate the appliance from the
piece of furniture below with a separator, leaving a
depression space of at least 10 mm (fig. 4).
If the hob is going to be installed on the top of
an oven, precautions must be taken to guarantee
an installation in accordance with current accident
prevention standards. Pay particular attention to the
position of the electric cable and gas pipe: they must
not touch any hot parts of the oven.
Moreover, if the hob is going to be installed on
the top of a built in oven without forced cooling
ventilation, proper air vents must be installed to
guarantee an adequate ventilation, with the lower
air entering with a cross section of at least 200cm2,
and the higher air exiting with a cross section of at
least 60 cm2.
Fastening the top
Every cook-top is equipped with a special washer.
A set of hooks is also supplied for mounting the
cook-top.
Depending on the type of mounting surface, the
suitable type of mounting hook is supplied (hook A
or hook B).
For the installation proceed as follows:
-Remove the racks and burners from the top.
-Turn the appliance upside down and lay the washer
S along the external border (fig. 5).
-Introduce and place the cook-top in the hole made
in the piece of furniture, then block it with the V
screws of the fastening hooks G (fig.6 / 6A).
Installation room
This appliance is not provided with a device for
exhausting the products of combustion.
Regarding room ventilation rules where appliance
is installed make reference to the legislation, in
conformity with the local regulations.
FOR THE U.K. ONLY
The room containing this hotplate should have an air
supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2: 1989.
-All rooms require an openable window, or
equivalent and some rooms will require a permanent
vent a well.
-For room volumes up to 5 m3an air vent of 100cm2
is required.
-For room volumes between 5 m3and 10 m3an air
vent of 50 cm2is required.
-If the room is greater than 5 m3and has a door that
opens directly to the outside, then no air vent is
required.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room BS 5440: Part 2:1989 should be consulted to
determine the air vent requirements.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
Gas connection
Make sure that the appliance is adjusted for the gas
type available (see the label under the appliance).
Follow the instructions indicated in the chapter “gas
transformations and adjustments” for the possible
adaptation to different gases.
The appliance must be connected to the gas system
by means of stiff metal pipes or flexible steel pipes
having continuous walls, in compliance with the
regulations in force.
Some models are equipped with both cylindrical A
and conical B connectors for gas supply (fig. 7).
Please select the type which is correct for the supply
concerned.
The connection must not stress the gas ramp.
Once the installation is over, check the connection
seal with a soapy solution.
Electric connection
The connection to the electric grid must be carried
out by qualified personnel and in conformity with
the regulations in force.
The voltage of the electric system must correspond to
the value indicated in the label under the appliance.
Make sure that the electric system is provided with
an effective ground connection in compliance with
the regulations and provisions of the law. Grounding
is compulsory.
GAS TRANSFORMATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Replacing the nozzles
If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that
is different from the one available, it is necessary to
replace the burner nozzles.
The choice of the nozzles to replace must be
made according to the table of the “technical
characteristics” as enclosed.
Act as follows:
- Remove the racks and burners.
- By means of a straight spanner L, unscrew the nozzle
U (fig.8) and substitute it with the corresponding
one.
- Tighten the nozzle strongly.
Adjusting the burners
The lowest flame point must always be properly
adjusted and the flame must remain on even if there
is an abrupt shift from the maximum to the minimum
position.
If this is not so, it is necessary to adjust the lowest
flame point as follows:
- start the burner up
- turn the tap up to the minimum position (small
flame)
- remove the knob from the tap rod
- introduce a flat-tip screwdriver in the hole F of the
tap (fig. 9) and turn the by-pass screw up to a proper
adjustment of the lowest flame point.
As regards G30 gas burners, the by-pass screw must
be tightened completely.
MAINTENANCE
Replacing the power supply cable
If the power supply cable should be replaced, it is
necessary to use a cable with a section of 3x0.75mm2,
type H05VV-F or H05RR-F, complying with the
regulations in force.
The connection to the terminal board must be
effected as shown in fig. 10 - 10/A:
brown cable L (phase)
blue cable N (neutral)
green-yellow cable (ground)
