PracticalAdviceonUsingtheBurners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
• Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) in order to prevent the flame from reaching the
sides of the pot or pan;
• Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the
lidon;
• When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to
"Low".

Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob,
disconnectitfromthe power supply.
To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned
carefullyandthoroughlyon a frequent basis,keepingin
mind the following:
·Donot use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• Theenamelled partsmustbe washed withwarm water
withoutusingabrasivepowdersorcorrosivesubstances
whichcouldruin them.
• Theremovable parts of the burners should bewashed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to
removecaked-onsubstances.
• Onhobswithautomaticignition,theend of the electronic
ignitiondevicemustbecleanedcarefullyandfrequently,
makingsurethat thegasholes are notclogged.
• Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
withhighly calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containingphosphorous)foranextendedperiodoftime.
Itisrecommendedthatthesepartsbe rinsed thoroughly
with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to
clean up any spills.
• Beforeusingtheceramicglassmodule,thesurfaceshould
becleaned , using a dampcloth toremove dust orfood
residue. It must be cleaned regularly with a solution of
warmwaterandanon-abrasivedetergent.First, remove
allfood build upor greasewith a cleaningscraper - not

Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a
suitablecleaning product, rub with a clean dampcloth
and dry. Sugarorfoods with ahighsugar content that

Greasing theTaps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to
turn.If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.:This operation mustbeperformed bya technician
authorised by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
• Thegasholes arenotclogged.
• Therearenodraughtsnearthecookingsurface.
• Theminimumhasbeenadjustedcorrectly(seeInstallation
section,"MinimumRegulation").
If the cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
• Thebottomofthe cookware isperfectlyflat.
• Thecookwareiscenteredcorrectlyontheburner.
• Thesupportgrids havenotbeen inverted.
If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see
KEYCONTACTS,back page),informingthem of:
-Thetype ofproblem.
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as
indicatedonthe warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer,andrefuseto accept sparepartsthatare not
original.
Before calling service for assistance, check through the
followinglist,theremay be nothing wrong.
Firstofall,checktoseethattherearenointerruptionsinthe
gasand electricalsupplies, and,in particular, that the gas
valvesfor themains areopen.
If the burner does not light or the flame is not uniform
aroundtheburner.
Check to make sure that:
• Thegasholes ontheburner are notclogged.
• All of the movable parts that make up the burner are
mountedcorrectly.
• Therearenodraughtsaroundthecookingsurface.
If the flame does not stay lit on a model with the
FlameFailure device.
Check to make sure that:
• You press the knob all the way in.
• You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate
theflamefailuredevice.
• Thegasholesare notcloggedintheareacorresponding

Gasconnection for gas hob
Thehob shouldbe connected to the gas-supplyby acorgi
registered installer. During installation of this product it is
essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply
fromthe appliance forthe convenience ofany subsequent
removalorservicing.Connectionoftheappliance to the gas
mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the
prescribedregulationinforce, andonlyafteritisascertained
that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not,
follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed
“Adaptationtodifferentgastypes”. In thecaseofconnection
toliquidgas, by tank,usepressure regulators thatconform
totheregulationinforce.
Important: Forsafety,for thecorrectregulation of gasuse
andlonglife oftheappliance, ensure thatthegas pressure
conformstotheindicationsgivenintable1“Nozzleandburner
characteristics”.
Connection to non-flexible tube
(copperorsteel)
Connectionto thegas sourcemust bedone insuch away
as to not create any stress points at any part of the
appliance.
Theapplianceisfittedwithanadjustable,"L"shapedconnector
andagasketfortheattachmenttothegassupply.Shouldthis
connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced
(suppliedwiththeappliance).
Thefeedingconnectorofthegastotheapplianceisthreaded
1/2gasmalecylinder.
Connection to flexible steel tube
Thegasfeedconnectortotheappliance is a threaded,male
1/2"connectorforroundgaspipe.Onlyusepipesandsealing
gasketsthatthatconformtothestandards currently in force.
Themaximum length ofthe flexible pipesmust not exceed
2000 mm. Once the connection has been made, ensure
thattheflexiblemetaltubedoesnottouchanymoving parts
andisnot crushed.
Check the Seal
Once the hob has been installed, make sure all the
connections are properly sealed, using a soapy water
solution.Neverusea flame.

Installation
Adapting the Hob for Different Types of Gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas than that for
whichitwas designed,(seethe sticker underthehob or on
the packaging), the burner nozzles must be changed, as
follows:
•Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out of
thehob.
•Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench and
replace them with those for the new type of gas. (See
table1,“BurnerandNozzle Specifications”).
•Reassemblethepartsfollowingtheinstructionsinreverse
order.
•Oncompletingtheoperation,replacetheoldratinglabel
withthe one showing the newtype ofgas; the stickeris
availablefromHotpointService (see KEYCONTACTS,
back page).
If the gas pressure is different than that prescribed, a
pressure regulator must be installed at the source, in
compliance with national standards governing the use of
pipedgasregulators.
Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner
Theburnersdonotneed any primary airregulator.
MinimumRegulation
Minimumregulation:
•Turnthegasvalveto minimum.
• Removetheknobandturntheregulatorscrew(positioned
eitheron the side of the top orinside the shaft - Figs. A
and B) clockwise until the flame becomes small but
regular.
N.B.: Inthecaseofliquidgas,the regulation screw mustbe
fullyscrewedin(clockwise).
•Makesure that,when the knob is turnedrapidly highto
low,the flame does not goout.
•In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the
securitydevice (thermocouple)when thegas supply is
setatminimum,increasetheminimumsupplylevelsusing
theregulatorscrew in Fig.A- B.
Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing wax,
or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the by-pass.

Electrical Connection
Electricalconnection
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the
supplyvoltage andfrequency indicated on the ratingplate
(situated under the hob). Make sure that the local supply
voltagecorresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity
supply
For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug
suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto a
cableand connect to a suitablesocket.
Toconnectdirectto the mainssupply,adouble pole switch
with a contact separation of at least 3mm suitable for the
loadandcomplying with currentstandardsand regulations
mustbefitted between theapplianceandthe mains supply
outlet.
Thegreen-yellowearth wiremustnot be interruptedbythe
switch.
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it
reaches atemperatureof 50°Cabove room temperature.
For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the
ovenmustbeconnectedseparatelytotheelectricitysupply,
both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of the oven
forrepair,maintenance etc.
DONOT use adaptersas theycould cause overheatingor
burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
• thelimiterswitchand the domesticsystemcan
withstandthe loadfrom the appliance (see rating
plate).
• thesupplysystemis efficiently earthed accordingto
standardsand laws in force.
• thesocket or double-poleswitchare easilyaccessible
whenthe appliance is installed.
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordancewiththefollowingcode:
Green& Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspondwiththecolouredmarkingsidentifyingtheterminals
