The installation shall comply with the dimensions in Figures 3a, 3b or 3c and 4a, 4b or 4c,
bearing in mind that:
■A partition between the base of the hob and the cupboard below should be tted 30
mm below the workbench surface if the cupboard is to be used for storage.
■If the hob is installed over a built-in oven, the oven shall be provided with cooling fan
motor. The two appliances shall be connected to the gas/electrical supply with inde-
pendent connections.
■Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the
hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan 800 mm.
Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the highest
part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking surface
area in accordance with local regulations inforce. However, in no case shall this clea-
rance to any surface be less than 450 mm.
Standards requirement
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Stan-
dards (AS/NZS5601) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of
any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65°C above ambient.
This is typically achieved by:
■ having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see gures 3a, 3b or 3c and 4a, 4b or 4c);
AND
■protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (minimum height of
non-combustible material when used on adjacent walls) with non-combustible surface
materials such as:
– 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles (these alone are adequate);
– tempered glass or sheetmetal, minimum thickness 0.4 mm (acceptable when used
in front of a re resistant material).
INSTALLING THE SEPARA-
TOR BELOW THE BASE OF
THE COOKTOP
It is recommended that a 30 mm
clearance be left between to base
of the cooktop and the separator.
The separator shall be heat resi-
stant, made of low thermal con-
ductivity material and shall be re-
movable with the use of a tool for
installation and service.

■This appliance is suitable for use with Natural Gas or ULPG (Check the “gas type”
sticker attached to the appliance).
■For Natural Gas the gas supply must be regulated to obtain a pressure of 1 kPa with
the two semi-rapid (SR) burners operating at the maximum.
■For ULPG models connect the gas supply directly to the appliance test point adaptor
(supplied with the conversion kit) and ensure that the supply pressure is regulated to
2.75 kPa.
■Do NOT force the ”elbow“ rotation prior to loosening nut.
■Do NOT over tighten the nut at the ”elbow“.
1. After connecting the gas supply, check the piping and connections for leaks using a
soap and water solution. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak, tighten or replace
connections as appropriate.
Warning: Do not use any naked ame to check for leaks.
2. The operation of the appliance MUST be tested before leaving.
3. Adjust the test point pressure or supply pressure to the value which is appropriate for
the gas type.
4. Turn on the appliance gas controls and light each burner. Check for a well dened
blue ame without any yellow tipping. If any abnormality is evident then check that the
burner cap is located properly and the injector nipple is aligned correctly.

USING GAS BURNERS
■Check that the electricity is switched on to allow spark ignition.
■ Make sure that all controls are turned to zero.
■ The gas ow to the burner is controlled by a tap incorporating a safety cut-off valve.
If the burner ame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas ow. The switch of the electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.
■ You control the ow by turning the knob indicator to line up with the following symbols:
– Symbol 0 : tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
■You can control the temperature by the knob to “High” (maximum) from “Low” “Minimum”.
■To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.
■Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob clockwi-
se past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.
■ Whenever lighting any of the burners produces an abnormal ame, switch that burner
off and relight using the minimum setting.
■ If after relighting the burner, the ame is still abnormal, turn the burner off and contact
our Customer Service Centre to obtain the nearest authorized Delonghi Service Agent.
■In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
■Note: When the cooker top is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed posi-
tions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
Figure 13a Figure 13b

19
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1. Turn the knob (gs. 13a - 13b) in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture
(symbol ), push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas.
If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the
knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
Important
■ If the burner ame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas ow
■To re-light the burner, return the knob to closed “0” position (burner off), wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
■N.B. If your local gas supply makes it difcult to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
■The burner must be chosen according to the dia-
meter of the pans and energy required.
■The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.
■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.
■ For fast boiling, make sure the ame just reaches
the edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of
the pan means wasted heat and the contents of
the pan will take longer to boil.
■ For optimum efciency use a wok or pan no smal-
ler than 230mm diameter.
■Saucepans with handles which are excessively
heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are
safer as they are less likely to tip.
■Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
■It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
■ When deep fat frying ll the pan only one third full of oil.
■DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
■ In the unfortunate event of a re, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
■ Place a damp cloth or correct tting lid over the pan to smother the ames.
■DO NOT use water on the re.
■Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
During use cooking vessels become hot. Pay special attention not to touch the hot
vessels positioned on the cooking hob especially when operating the control knobs.
