Fig. 2.1
GAS BURNERS
The gas flow to the burners is achieved
by turning the knob (illustrated in fig.
2.1) which controls the safety tap.
By turning the knob so that the indicator
line points at the symbols printed on the
panel we obtain the following settings:
✓full circle ●= closed valve
✓symbol = maximum
aperture or flow
✓symbol = minimum
aperture or flow
To light one of the gas burners, push in
and turn the relative knob in an anti-
clockwise direction, pointing the knob
indicator towards the large flame sym-
bol (i.e. max. gas flow).
The sparks produced by the electric
lighter situated inside the relative burner
will light the gas.
In the event that the local gas supply
conditions makes it difficult to light the
burner in maximum aperture position,
try again with the knob in minimum
position.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to
point the indicator towards the small
flame symbol.
The maximum aperture position permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the
minimum aperture position allows slow-
er warming of food or maintaining boil-
ing conditions of liquids.
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and
closed positions.
N.B. When the burners are not
being used, set the gas control
knobs to their closed positions
and also close the cock valve on
the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE
DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob fig. 2.2 in anti-clock-
wise direction up to the maximum
aperture, push in and hold the
knob; this will light the gas. In case
of black-out, bring a lighted match
close to the burner.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the
gas lighting before releasing the
knob (starting time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
power.
If the flame of the burner should go out
for any reason, the safety valve will
automatically stop the gas flow.
To re-ignite the burner, first turn the
control knob to position ●, wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.
CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.3)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume
capacity of the container to be heated.
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise their efficiency and avoid a
waste of energy.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a
large burner does not necessarily mean
that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.
Caution!

Fig. 2.3
The ignition device shall not be
operated for more than 15 seconds.
If after 15 seconds the burner has
not lit, stop operating the device
and open the compartment door of
the cabinet underneath (if available)
and/or wait at least 1 minute before
attempting a further ignition of the
burner.
In case of black-out, the ignition of the
burner can be obtained by approching a
flame (eg. a match) close to the top part
of the burner.

SPECIAL WOK GRILLE (figs. 2.4, 2.5)
This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the triple ring burner.
Warning:
✓Using woks without this special grille may cause the burner to malfunction.
✓Do not use the grille for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (figs. 2.4 - 2.5) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-
rest for the triple-ring burner.

STANDARD HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 3.1) on the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the
operating positions with increasing
value, corresponding to higher tempera-
tures.
When the pot contents come to the boil,
turn the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will contin-
ue to produce heat for about five min-
utes after it has been turned off.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar
to that of the standard hotplate, with 6
selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1).
The characteristics of this hotplate,
which is also equipped with a thermo-
static cut-off device, make it possible to:
– achieve the cooking temperature
rapidly
– make full use of its output power
using flat-bottomed pans
– limit the output power with unsuitable
saucepans.
PROPER USE OF THE ELEC-
TRIC HOTPLATE (fig. 3.2)
While using the electric hotplate, you
must:
✓avoid using it without any vessel;
✓avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
✓use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only
✓use cookware which covers as much
as possible surface of the hotplate.
✓save electricity, by using lids whenev-
er possible.
✓never cook food directly on the hot-
plate: always use a pan or a suitable
container.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing

GENERAL ADVICE
✓Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold.
✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acid sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on
the surfaces.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
✓Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc.
are left on the enamel for a long time
they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
✓Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth or with a chamois leather.
✓For persistent dirt, use specific non-
abrasive products available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
✓Note: regular use could cause dis-
colouring around the burners,
because of the high flame temper-
ature.
CONTROL KNOB
✓The control knobs may be removed
for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.
GAS TAPS
✓In the event of operating faults in
the gas taps, call the Service
Department.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
✓Always clean when the hotplate is
tepid.
✓Use a soft cloth, dampened with
water, and a little salt. To finish off,
use a soft cloth with a little oil.

BURNERS AND GRIDS
✓These parts can be removed and
cleaned with appropriate products.
✓After cleaning, the burners and their
flame spreaders must be well dried
and correctly replaced.
✓It is very important to check that the
burner flame spreader and the cap
have been correctly positioned.
Failure to do so can cause serious
problems.
✓In appliances with electric ignition
keep the electrode clean so that the
sparks always strike.
✓Note: To avoid damage to the elec-
tric ignition do not use it when the
burners are not in place.

16
TRIPLE RING BURNER
The triple ring burner must be correctly
positioned (see fig. 4.2); the burner rib
must be fitted in their housing as shown
by the arrow.
Then position the cap Aand the ring B
(fig. 4.3 - 4.4).
The burner correctly positioned must
not rotate (fig. 4.3).
Fig. 4.4 Fig. 4.5
CORRECT REPLACEMENT
OF THE BURNERS
It is very important to check that the
burner flame spreader F and the cap C
have been correctly positioned (see figs.
4.1 and 4.5 ). Failure to do so can cause
serious problems.
Check that the electrode “S” (fig. 4.1) is
always clean to ensure trouble-free
sparking.
In the models with safety device, check
that the probe “T” (fig. 4.1) next to each
burner is always clean to ensure correct
operation of the safety valves.
Both the probe and ignition plug must
be very carefully cleaned.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FOR THE INSTALLER
Before installing the hob, remove the
protective film.
This hob may be built into a worktop of
30 to 40 mm thick and 600 mm deep.
In order to install the hob into the
kitchen cabinet, an aperture with the
dimensions shown in fig. 5.1 has to be
made, keeping in consideration the
following:
– inside the cabinet, between the
bottom side of the hob and the upper
surface of any other appliance or
internal shelf there must be a
clearance of at least 30 mm;
– the hob must be installed no less than
200 mm away from any side wall;
– the hob must be installed at a
distance of no less than 50 mm from
the rear wall.
– there must be a distance of at least
650 mm between the hob and any
wall cabinet or extractor hood
positioned immediately above (see
fig. 5.2)
– the coatings of the walls of the unit
or appliances near the hob must be
heat resistant.
Do not install the appliance near
inflammable materials (eg. curtains).

19
CUPBOARD DOORS (fig. 5.3)
The installation has to be made accord-
ing to specific requirements in order to
prevent the gas burners from going out,
even when the flame is turned down to
minimum, due to pressure changes
while opening or closing the cupboard
doors.
It is recommended that a 30 mm clear-
ance be left between the hob and the
partition surface underneath.
FASTENING THE COOKTOP
(fig. 5.4 - 5.5)
Each hob is supplied with a set of tabs
and screws to fasten it on units with a
worktop 3 to 4 cm deep.
The kit includes 4 tabs “A” and 4 self-
tapping screws “B”.
✓Cut the unit.
✓Stretch gasket “D” over the edge of
the hole made, being careful to over-
lay the junction edges
✓Turn the hob over and put tabs “A”
(fig. 5.4 - 5.5) into the housings, only
tighten screws “B” a few turns.
Make sure that the tabs are mounted
correctly as shown in the figure 5.4 -
5.5. Turn the tabs so that the cooktop
can be dropped into the aperture.
✓ay the hob into the aperture of the
unit and position it correctly.
✓Put tabs “A”; into place, tooth “C” of
the tabs should go into the hole.

CHOOSING SUITABLE
SURROUNDINGS
(for gas models)
The room where the gas appliance is to
be installed must have a natural flow of
air so that the gas can burn (in compli-
ance with the current laws in force).
The flow of air must come directly from
one or more openings made in the out-
side walls with a free area of at least 100
cm2.
If the appliance does not have a
flame-failure safety device this open-
ing must have an area of at least 200
cm2.
The openings should be near the floor
and preferably on the side opposite the
exhaust for combustion products and
must be so made that they cannot be
blocked from either outside or inside.
When these openings cannot be made,
the necessary air can come from an
adjacent room which is ventilated as
required, as long as it is not a bedroom
or a danger area (in compliance with the
current laws in force).
In this case, the kitchen door must allow
the passage of the air.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS
OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to
the outside must be provided, to allow
the products of combustion of the gas
appliance to be discharged (fig. 5.6).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may
be used, attached to the external wall or
the window; the fan should have a
capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate
of 3-5 times the total volume of the
kitchen (fig. 5.7).
The fan can only be installed if the room
has suitable vents to allow air to enter,
as described under the heading
“Choosing suitable surroundings” (in
compliance with the current laws in
force).
