USING YOUR GAS HOB
USING YOUR GAS HOB
All operations concerning installation, adjustment and adaptation to
the available gas type must be carried out by a qualified technician,
in compliance with statutory legislation.
The symbols printed above each burner control show the correspondence between the
control and the burner.
STANDBY MODE
After connecting the appliance to the power supply, it will perform a brief self-diagnosis
routine and touch panel calibration (all displays and LEDs remain illuminated for a few
seconds). When this procedure is completed the display will be blank.
SWITCHING ON THE HOB
To switch on the hob, hold the ON/OFF button for at
least 2 seconds.
The appliance will switch on and the five burner
displays will show power level 0, meaning that
the burners are off.
ALL OPERATIONS CONCERNING INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT AND
ADAPTATION TO THE AVAILABLE GAS TYPE MUST BE CARRIED OUT
BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN, IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY
LEGISLATION.
The symbols printed above each burner control show the correspondence between the control and
the burner.
START-UP WITHOUT VALVES
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to the maximum
position and press the knob.
AUTOMATIC START-UP WITH VALVES
› Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to the maximum
position (Fig.1) and press the knob.
› Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed for about 6 seconds.
USING THE BURNERS
› To obtain the maximum efficiency without wasting
gas, the pot diameter must be suitable in relation to
the burner (see the following table), to avoid the flame
extending beyond the bottom of the pan.
› Use the maximum capacity to quickly make liquids reach
the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain the boil. 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 (maximum flame).

they must not touch any hot parts of the oven. Moreover, if
the hob is installed over an oven without a forced cooling
system, to ensure adequate ventilation air vents must be provided with lower intake surface area
of at least 200cm2and upper outlet surface area of at least 60cm2.
FIXING THE HOB
Each hob is supplied with a special gasket and a set of brackets to be used for securing it to the
worktop.
TO INSTALL THE HOB PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
› Remove the pan supports and burners from the hob.
› Turn the appliance upside down and fit gasket (S) around the outer edge (Fig.4).
› Place the hob in the unit opening and fix it with screws (V) of brackets (G) (Fig.5).
