Afoam adhesive is supplied with the hob. Stick this seal under the edge of the body as
near as possible to the outer edge of the hob. Press round the edges of the hob, so that
the seal flattens out and ensures an air tight seal.

INSTALLATION: «GAS CONNECTION»
The hob can be built-in ; it is in class 3 (in compliance with gas regulations EN 30.1.1) ;
adjoiningfurnitureshouldnotbehigherthan the level of thehob.
This appliance is not connected to an evacuation device for the products of combustion.
Itmustbeinstalledandconnectedincompliancewiththenorms in force in the country of
installation.Particularattentionshouldbegiventotheavailability of ventilation.
Theturnover of air necessary forcombustion is a minimum of 2 m3/h per kW of power.
Gasconnectionshouldbe carried outincompliancewiththenorms inforceinthecountry
ofinstallation.Astop tap,aregulatorvalveora release valve for propane gas,shouldbe
fitted to the gas supply pipe. Use only taps, regulator valves, connectors and flexible
hoseswiththeofficialmarkofapprovalofthecountryofinstallation.

INSTALLATION: «ELECTRICAL CONNECTION»
Themains electricity supply connected to the appliance shouldcomplywith the norms in
force in the country of installation.
Connection to the mains electricity supply should be through a socket with an earth
terminal, or through an intermediary switching device with a gap between contacts of
at least 3 mm.
The power supply unit must be protected by appropriate fuses and use cables of a large
enough cross section to provide a normal supply to the appliance.
The hob is fitted with a power supply cable* without plug which allow it to be connected
only to a power supply of 230 V between phases, or between phase and neutral.
• Connect to a 10/16 Amp socket. Before connecting, it is compulsory
to check :
. the power supply voltage shown on the electricity meter,
. the adjustment of the circuit breaker, and
. the fuse rating 10A.
Note : the socket must be reachable for any eventual repair. Take care of its location
at the time you install the hob.
Warning : before proceeding with the connection, check the continuity of the
earthing of the power supply unit.
We cannot be held responsible for any accident which has resulting from the use
of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or whose earthing is defective.
* The eventual replacement of the supplying cord must be carried on by theAfter Sales
Serviceorbyan agreed engineer,withacord whosecharacteristicsmustbesimilarto the

Onthehigh position, the flames heat directly the pan allowing all cookingsonquick gas.
Foraproper use of the burners, choose pans whichmatchthedimensions given below :
* Ultra-rapid or "4 Rings" Ø 18 cm and more
* Rapid Ø 16 to 18 cm
*Semi-fast Ø 12 cm
* Auxiliary Ø 10 cm
SOME TIPS ....
•Panswithcurved,ridgedorwarpedbottomsarenot recommended.
• Centre the pan on the "pan support".
• Do not place the same pan on two burners.
•Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact,
it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.
• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.
• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.
WARNING:
. when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be
turned off.
. the use of a steak-grid is forbidden. The high temperatures reached on the hob
surface will give to the glass a thermic shock which will lead to an irreversible
brittleness.
