1. Instruction for the User
HOB BURNERS CONTROL KNOBS
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
front panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :
• •
• •
• there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
• Foreasier lighting,proceedbefore puttinga pan
on the pan support.
Depresstherelevant switch marked withasmall spark.
Then, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-
clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.
Check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.
Ifyoucannotlighttheflameevenafterseveralattempts,
check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig. 1,
lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ••
••
•.
• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
USING THE HOB CORRECTLY
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
willnotspreadbeyondthebottomofthevessel(seethe
table beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is
obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal
electrode (fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the
burner crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.
• The periodic lubrication of the taps must be
carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning. Fig. 2

4. Instruction for the Installer
• The side walls of the unit in which the hob is
goingtobeinstalled,mustnotexceedtheheight
of the working top.
• Avoidinstallingtheappliance intheproximityof
inflammable materials (e.g. curtains, tea towels
etc.).
• Thefollowinginstructionsaboutinstallationand
maintenance must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with the regulation in
force.Theregulationtobeappliedforthistypeof
installation is NBN D 5I.003 : "Installations
functioning with combustible gas lighter than
air".
• Theappliancemustbeelectricallydisconnected
before all interventions. If any electric supply to
the appliance is required to carry out the work,
ensureallthenecessaryprecautionsarefollowed.
GAS CONNECTION
It is indispensible that the connection to the gas mains
are carried out by means of an AGB tap. Choose fixed
connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless
steel).
If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not
come in contact with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is
combinated with an oven.
Thishob can beoperatedby Slochterengas(G25) with
a nominal pressure of 25 mbar or by natural gas with
nominal pressure of 20 mbar. No regulation is required
for use by these two types of gas.
Before fitting the appliance ensure that the installation
hasthecorrect voltagefortheappliance.Atfullcapacity,
the drop in pressure must not exceed 5%. Such a drop
in pressure is caused by the following parameters:
- maximum capacity of meter;
- diameter and lenght of the tube in front and behind
the meter;
- section of transit of variuos tubes positioned on the
circuit;
- diameter of eventual connections.
IMPORTANT - Toensureacorrectoperation,asaving
of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage
pressure of the appliance must correspond to the
recommended values.

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V
monophase electricity supply.
The connection must be carried out in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force.
Before the appliance is connected:
1) checkthatthemainfuseandthedomesticinstallation
can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in
compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for

ofatypesuitablefortherequiredloadincompliancewith
the current rules.
The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in
each part, it cannot reach a temperature 90 °C higher
than the room temperature.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal
blockcontactmarkedwith"L")mustalwaysbeconnected
to the network phase.
REPLACEMENT OF THE VOLTAGE CABLE
The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's
terminal block is of type "Y". This means that its
replacement requires the specific equipment of a
technician.
In this case, only cable type H05V2V2-F T90 must be
used. The cable section must be suitable to the voltage
and the working temperature.
The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2
cm. longer than the phase wires (Fig. 5).
To open the terminal block and reach the terminals,
proceed as follows:
•insert the point of a screwdriver into the visible
protrunding part of the terminal block;
•exert a light pressure and lift (Fig. 6)

POSSIBILITIES FOR
INSERTION
Kitchen unit with door
Proper arrangements must be
taken in designing the forniture
unit, in order to avoid any contact
with the bottom of the hob which
can be heated when it is operated.
The recommended solution is
shown in Fig. 12.
The panel fitted under the hob
should be easily removable to
allow an easy access if a technical
assistance intervention is needed.
Kitchen unit with oven
The hob recess dimensions must
comply the indication given in
Figs. 13 and 16 and must be
provided with brackets to allow a
continuous supply of air.
To avoid overhating, the building
in should be carried out as shown
in Figs. 14 and 15.
The hob's electric connection and
the oven's one must be carried out
separately, both for safety reasons
and to allow the oven to be easily
taken off the unit.
Hanging forniture units or hoods
must be placed at 650 mm.
minimum from the hob (Fig. 17).
