OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the appliance, make sure the ignition knob is in the “OFF”
position and turn on the main cock. After using, ensure to turn off the ignition
knob and main cock.
TURN ON THE APPLIANCE
Press and turn the ignition knob counter clockwise for 3 to
5 seconds to higher flame position slowly. Make sure that
the burner has lit.
When you start to use the unit for the first time or the unit
has not been used for a long period of time, it sometimes
happens that the burner is not ignited easily. This is
because the gas needs to fill up the rubber hose before
reaching to the burners. After lighting the flame, keep the
knob pressed for about 10 seconds. This is necessary to
heat up the thermocouple and activate the safety valve (if
any), which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.
CONTROLLING THE FLAME
Control the knob between max and min to regulate the
flame. Turn the knob counter clockwise to the minimum
position to set the lowest cooking output level.
Remarks: When the flame is reduced suddenly it may
happen to turn off the burner. Always make sure the
burner is ignited when the power is in minimum level.

Turn the ignition knob clockwise up to the OFF position
without pressing it. The gas will stop supply to the burner
and the burner will be switched off.
Remarks: Always make sure the ignition knob is at OFF
position when not in use.
ATTENTION: If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the
burner cap and burner base are correctly positioned.
CAUTION: Always ensure the burner cap is placed in its original position
correctly as shown to avoid any incident and damage its original shape.
The manufacture denies all claim arise from the burner due to improper
placement of the burner ring.
DURING USE

IGNITION PLUG
Automatic burner ignition is provided (when
installed) by a ceramic plug and a metal electrode.
Periodically clean these parts of the hob
thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition difficulties,
check that the cavities in the burner are not
obstructed. To remove deposits from the burner
cavities, remove the cap and separate the two parts (see diagram on the right).
After cleaning, put the two parts back together and return them correctly to
their position. After washing, replace the trivet, checking that they are correctly
positioned.

ADDITIONAL INFO (SAFETY CLAUSES)
Consistently clearing the blocked ring hole to prevent backfire. During cooking,
prevent the gravy from over flooding the gravy tray.
The ring hole is blocked by gravy
due to over flooding. It will result
to happen:
1. Back fire may cause breakage
of glass.
2. Flame extinguishes/cannot
sustain.
To clean the inner ring cap which blocked with gravy or soot, please wash the
cap with water to clean up the gravy covered on the surface (Do not wash
when the cap is hot after using).
Then use a fine needle, pin or wire, (size approve. ≤1mm) to clean the hole
that still blocked with gravy or soot. Fit the cap back to original position when it
is completely dry.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN
CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms
with permanent ventilation to local standards.
Installation of the appliance and its connection to the gas supplies must only
be carried out by qualified technician. Before any procedure, it is important to
check that the appliance is DISCONNECTED from the gas supplies. The
Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage arising from
installation in breach of the regulations in force or from failure to comply with
the accident prevention regulations.

INSTALLATION PREMISES
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion
of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into
the room directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must
have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each kw of power
(see total power in kw on the appliance rating label).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside
or outside, or constructed close to the floor. The opening is recommended to
be on the side opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it is
not feasible to provide these openings in the room where the appliance is
installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided
that:
- This room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
- Install the built-in hob in a well-ventilated room and keep it away from any
combustible or flammable objects such as paper or oil.
- Place the built-in hob on a stable and levelled surface.
- If the built-in hob is to be installed close to combustible objects (such as
wooden walls, wooden shelves), it should be installed at least 150mm from
the side walls. Even if the combustible material is protected by stainless
steel sheet, a clearance of 150mm is required for safety purpose. The
clearance between the appliance and above combustible shelves or the
cooker hood must be at least 650mm.

- Formation of bubbles indicates leakage and must be tightened the hose
clamp and check on all joint parts to ensure there is no faulty.
- Repeat the soap test until everything is fine.
- If there is a bubble after the soap test, please authorized service
technician.
Never use a flame to make this check.
Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases through hoods
connected directly to flues or the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the
hood an electric fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of the
room, provided it is possible for the ventilation opening to be increased in
proportion to the delivery rate of the fan.
For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must guarantee an hourly air
exchange of 3-5 times its volume. In both instances, the use of flues already
used by other appliances to discharge the flue gases is forbidden.
