UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Once the outer wrapping and the inner wrappings of the various parts have been removed, check and make sure that the appliance is
in perfect condition. If you have any doubts do not use the appliance and call your nearest Assistance Centre.
Some parts are mounted on the appliance and protected by a plastic film. This protective film must be removed before ever the
appliance is used. We recommend slitting the plastic film along the edges with a sharp knife or pin.
The packaging materials used (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails …) should not be left anywhere within easy reach of
children as they are a potential hazard source.
INSTALLING AND FIXING THE HOB
The measurements of the cavity made in the top of the modular cabinet and into which the hob will be recessed are indicated in fig. 9.
Cupboards or hoods have to maintain a least distance of 750 mm from the top.
IMPORTANT!
Under the hob it is necessary to always apply a panel of separation in wood, positioned to a least distance of 70 mm by the
bottom of the same, which has to easily be removable to allow possible operations of maintenance (see fig. 10).
The hob has a special seal which prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly comply with the following instructions in order
to correctly apply this seal:.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob, pressing it in place with the fingers.
- Remove the strip of protective paper from the seal. Insert the hooks into their relative housings (K) on the hob and set this into the
hole in the cabinet. Lock it in place with the relative fixing screws (V) (see fig. 12).

GAS CONNECTION
Before to connect the appliance to the gas network, check that the adjustment sticker data plate, put on the bottom of the
appliance, correspond to the available one in the gas network.
The adjustment sticker data plate, gives all the appliance’s setting conditions as: gas type and gas operating pressures.
Once installed, check there are no leaks using a soapy solution only. Never use a flame! It is forbidden!
The appliance’s gas inlet fitting is a G ½” male threaded cylindrical gas type in accordance with the Standard ISO 228-1.
When gas is distributed through ducts the appliance must be connected to the gas mains with:
⇒A flexible stainless steel, seamless pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, with a maximum 2 metres extension and
seals in accordance with the National Rules in force. N.B.: Make sure that the pipe, once the appliance is installed, does not come
into contact with the mobile parts of the unit in which the hob is built-in (like drawers for instance), get squashed or is too bent.
⇒A rigid steel pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, whose joints must be made using threaded fittings in accordance
with the Standard ISO 7/1. The use of hemp with suitable adhesives or Teflon tape as a sealant is not allowed.
⇒ A copper pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, whose joints must be made using sealed fittings in accordance with
the National Rules in force .
When gas is supplied directly from a gas cylinder, the appliance, supplied by a pressure regulator in accordance with the Standard
EN 12864, must be connected:
⇒With flexible stainless steel, seamless pipes in accordance with the National Rules in force with a maximum 2 metres extension
and seals in accordance with National Rules in force. N.B.: Make sure that the pipe does not come into contact with the mobile
parts of the unit in which the hob is built-in (like drawers for instance), get squashed or is too bent. We recommend attaching the
special adapter to the flexible pipe, easily found on the market, to facilitate connection to the pressure regulator’s hose fitting on
the cylinder.
The pipe connecting the appliance with the gas mains should lie with smooth bends, and the rubber gasket preventing leakage added
by the installer between the appliance’s gas inlet fitting. Also the pipe connection must comply with the Standard EN 549 (obtained
from Technical Assistance Centres or authorised dealers).
CAUTION!
Carry out the connection avoiding all kinds of stress to the appliance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection must be carried out in accordance with the current standards and laws in force.
Prior to connecting check that:
•The system and electrical sockets amperage is adequate for the appliance’s maximum power (see data label affixed on the bottom
of the appliance).
•The socket or system has an effective earth connection in accordance with current standards and with the law. All responsibility is
disclaimed if this is not complied with.
When connecting to the mains with a socket:
• Fit to the power cable (C) (if without – fig. 13) a standardized plug, suitable for the load which is indicated on the data label.
Connect the wires making sure they correspond as shown below, and remember that the earth wire must be always longer than
wires L and N (fig. 14):
Letter L (phase) = brown wire.
Letter N (neutral) = blue wire.
Symbol (earth) = green/yellow wire.
•The power cable must be laid so that no parts of it ever reach an over temperature of 75 K.
•For connecting do not use reductions, adapters or shunts as they could cause false contacts resulting in hazardous overheating.
•The appliance must be positioned so the plug is accessible.
When connecting directly to the mains:
- Install a multipolar switch that can withstand the appliance load, with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm, not less!

Issued on date: 06/04/2006 – Rev. Index: 00 Page 9 of 10
- Remember that the earth wire must not be cut out by the switch.
- As an alternative, the electrical connection can also be protected with a high sensitivity RCD.
ADJUSTING
•Check the adjustment of the appliance. Before making any adjustment to its operation, ensure proper adjustment to the
sticker data plate, on the bottom of the appliance.
•Before any adjustment is attempted, which may be necessary when installing for the first time or when converting gas
type, take the plug out of the mains socket.
•When the adjustment or preadjustment has been made, a technician must do any re-sealing, if any.
•To adjust “reduce rate”, using proper screw driver, from Natural gas to Butane/Propane ones, light burners one by one
and put handle in minimum position; remove the handle and screw clockwise completely the by-pass screw. Put back in
position the handle and check stability flame, turning the handle from “Maximum” to “Minimum” position and vice-versa.
•To adjust “reduce rate”, using proper screw driver, from Butane/Propane gases to Natural one, light burners one by one
and put handle in minimum position; remove the handle and unscrew anclockwise in the way to get proper flame. Put
back in position the handle and check stability flame, turning the handle from “Maximum” to “Minimum” position and
vice-versa.
•“Primary air adjustment” on hob gas burners is unnecessary.
TAPS
The adjustment of the reduced rate position is as follows:
• Light the burner and turn the knob to reduced rate position (small flame).
• Remove the knob which is simply inserted onto tap stem.
• Insert a small screwdriver into the top shaft and turn the throttling screw left or right until flame of the burner is conveniently
regulated to the low position.
• In the case of taps with safety thermocouples, the adjustment screw is on the side of the stem.
• Make sure that when turning quickly from “Maximum” position to “Minimum” one, the burner does not extinguish.
Attention: if the tap, after long use of the hob, present some friction to rotation, do not use it. Call the nearest Assistance
Centre of ours that will take action to substitute the tap with the proper one.
CONVERSION
CHANGING THE INJECTORS
The burners can be adapted to different types of gas by simply installing the injectors suitable for the gas you want to use. The “kit
injectors” can be fitted with the appliance or available in an authorised Assistance Centre.
To do this, first remove the burner cups and with a socket spanner, unscrew injectors using proper tool and replace them with injectors
corresponding to the new adjustment gas type. Always tightly lock the injector in place, without adding any material on the injectors
threads: It is forbidden!
To help the installer there is a table on page 10 giving nominal heat inputs, injector diameter and operating pressures of the different
gas types. For best comprehension, each injector is marked on its body with proper diameter.
After the injectors have been changed, the technician must adjust the burners as described in the previous paragraphs, seal
any adjustment or preadjustment parts.
Important: after the conversion, substitute the adjustment sticker data plate put on the bottom of the appliance with the new
one, corresponding to the new gas adjustment. The sticker is included in the “kit injectors”.
MAINTENANCE
Prior to any maintenance work or before changing parts, disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity power
sources.
REPLACING COMPONENTS
•To access the terminal board and the power cable, it is necessary to remove the hob from the cabinet by unscrewing the relative
fixing screws (V) (see fig. 12).
•If the power cable needs changing, call an authorised Assistance Centre as it is necessary the use of special tools. The
technician will have to connect a cable with a suitable cross section (see the table on page 13) keeping the earth wire
longer than the phase wires. In addition, follow the instructions giving in the “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION” paragraph.
•To replace other gas and electrical components, that are positioned inside the hob, it is necessary to remove the hob top
unscrewing the fixing screws of the burners
•Replace the seal each time you change a tap in order to guarantee a perfect tightness between body and rail.
