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.
These hobs are designed to be used by
private individuals in their homes.
The adjustment conditions are stated on
a label in the wallet and also on the
packaging.
Since this appliance is not connected to a
combustion products evacuation device, it
must be installed in accordance with
current installation regulations and used
in a well-ventilated place. 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
Installing your hob in all simplicity
26
renewed and the combustion products
must be evacuated (a minimum air input
of 2 m3/hour per kw of gas energy is
required).
These hobs have type X protection (in
accordance with standard EN 60.335.2.6)
against overheating of cupboards and
Class 3 for installation itself (in
accordance with standard EN 30.1.1).

Installing your hob in all simplicity
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
worktop. In any case, do not keep any
sprays or pressurized containers in the
compartment which could be just un-
der the hob.
To prevent any foreign bodies or liquid
from getting between the hob and the
worktop, stick the foam seal provided in
the wallet in position before installing
the hob. This will also protect your
work surface from the heat given out
by the hob.
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 work-
top paying attention not to damage
the control knobs, thermocouples and
lighters.
3- Stick the foam seal around the
outside of the hob. This foam seal
ensures that no water can seep bet-
ween the top of the hob and the sur-
rounding work surface. It also helps to
insulate the work surface from the
heat of the hob.
4- Put the hob back the right way up
and place the burners, caps and pan
grates back in position.

Installing your hob in all simplicity
Place the hob unit into the opening in
the worktop by carefully pulling it to-
wards you.
Put the burners, caps and pan grates
back into position.
Connect the hob power cable to your
kitchen electricity supply (See "Elec-
trical Connections" for your hob).
If you want, you can fix the hob in posi-
tion on its four corners, using the four
lugs and screws provided (See dia-
gram). Only use the holes provi-
ded.
Stop screwing when the lug
starts to bend.
Do not use a power screwdriver.

standard G1/2).
The connection should be made at the end of
the elbow seal on the appliance,
or - connection with a reinforced,
braided, flexible gas hose with threa-
ded connectors
(fig. A).
You may also use a "Gazinox" type, stain-
less steel flexible tube available from your
local distributor,
or

●Preliminary remarks
If the hob is to be installed above an
oven or if other nearby heating
appliances risk heating and damaging the
gas hose then it is essential that a rigid
pipe be installed instead.
If a flexible hose is used (in the case of
butane gas) then it must not be installed
in a place where it may be in contact with
a moving part of the kitchen unit or a pla-
ce likely to get cluttered.
Access to the whole length of the connection hose must be possible and the gas hose must be
replaced before its use before date (indicated on the hose).
Whatever means of connections is chosen, make sure that it is gas sound after installation by using
soapy-water.

Gas connections (Cont'd)
●Possible connections
BOTTLED OR TANKED GAS (BUTANE/PRO-
PANE).
For the user's safety, we advise the
connection to be made with a rigid pi-
pe if this is possible, or with a reinfor-
ced, braided, flexible gas hose (maxi-
mum length 2 metres) (fig. A).
For an existing installation, where
it is not possible to fit a reinforced,
braided, flexible gas hose, the connec-
tion can be made with a flexible gas
hose (maximum length 2 metres), wi-
th two jubilee clips: one on the
connector (fig. B), and the other on
the pressure regulator, and a gas
proof washer should be fitted between
the connector and the elbow seal on
the hob.
You will find the sealing washer and
the adaptor in the wallet delivered wi-
th the unit.

●hob fitted WITH A SAFETY DEVICE
(depending on model)
• The safety device for the burners is in the
form of a metal rod beside to the flame.
• Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted
with a safety device, which cuts the gas off
automatically, if ever the flame goes out by
accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).
Using your hob in all simplicity
How to use your gas burners?
- 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 en-
amel.
- The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not harm the quality of co-
oking in any way.
• Each burner has its own gas tap which is
opened by pressing down on the control knob
and then turning it anti-clockwise.
The gas tap is closed when in the “¡” position.
• Choose the ring you need using the symbols
at the side of each control knob; (E.g. right-
hand burner ).
• Your hob is fitted with an automatic lighting
system integrated into the control knobs.
• 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.
●Lighting a hob

Gas safety device
(depending on model)
• Adjust the flame to the height your require by
turning the control knob between the and
symbols.
To set off the safety system, keep the
knob pressed completely down for a few
seconds after the flame has lit up.

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 conca-
ve bottom.
Do not leave the gas on beneath an emp-
ty pan.
Do not use pans whose handles may par-
tially cover control knobs.
Some hobs with 5 gas-rings are equipped
with a specific "WOK" type support stand,
to be used only on the central "Double
Crown" ring. This "WOK" type stand
allows you to use receptacles with a
concave base. Used with the "Double
Crown" ring, it allows better heat
distribution around large receptacles such
as woks and large diameter paella pans.

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system ins-
talled (a mechanically ventilated hood).
- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by ope-
ning 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 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings
Total power : 1,5 + 2,3 + 3,1 + 0,85 = 7,75 kW.
7,75 kW x 2 = 16,5 m3/h per hour minimum flow-rate.

Using your hob in all simplicity
How to use the electric hotplate
• To heat it up
Turn the knob to the point that corres-
ponds to the cooking you want to do
(See cooking table at the end of the
instruction booklet). The electric
hotplate 'on' light comes on.
The first time you use the electric hot-
plate, leave it on for 3 minutes at
maximum temperature without using
a pan to harden the surface coating.
Which pans are best adapted for use
on the electric hotplate?
• Which pans are to be used on the
electric hotplate?
Use pans with flat bottoms that are in
complete contact with the electric hot-
plate surface:
- Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or
"sandwich" base,
- Aluminium with a thick (smooth) base,
- Enamelled steel.
Always use a pan of suitable
size: the diameter of the pan
must be larger than the diameter
of the electric hotplate. YES
NO
Finish off your cooking with the knob
turned to “¡”. This lets you take ad-
vantage of the heat that has accumu-
lated in the electric hotplate.
• Whenever possible use a cover on
your pans to avoid losing any heat by
evaporation.
- Whenever possible use a cover on your pans to avoid losing any heat by
evaporation.
- The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in
the “¡” position.

Looking after
sparkers and
injectors
Looking after
the electric
hotplate
- 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.
- The electric hotplate is protected by a black
surface coating. Therefore, avoid using any
abrasive products. After use, wipe it clean
with an oily cloth.
If ever a electric hotplate starts to rust,

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.
How to look after your hob?
- It is better to wash the parts of your hob by hand rather than in a dishwasher.

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 hob is fitted with a gas safety
device 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 natural 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 burner 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.
