The installation shall comply with the dimensions in
Figures 2 and 3, bearing in mind that:
✓A minimum clearance of 20 mm has to be kept
between the bottom of the cooking hob and the top
of an appliance or a shelf.
✓A partition between the base of the hob and the
cupboard below should be fitted 100 mm below the
workbench surface if the cupboard is to be used for
storage.
✓Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance
between the highest part of the hob and a range hood
be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan,
750 mm. Any other downward facing combustible
surface less than 600 mm above the highest part of the
hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of
the cooking surface area in accordance with Clause
5.12.1.2 of AG 601. However, in no case shall this
clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.
✓Side clearances - Where the dimension from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical
combustible surface is less than 200 mm, the surface
shall be protected in accordance with Clause 5.12.1.2
of AG 601 to a height of not less than 150 mm above
the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the
cooking surface area.
✓Protection of combustible surfaces - AG 601 Clause
5.12.1.2 specifies that where required protection shall
ensure that the surface temperature of the combustible
surface does not exceed 50 °C above ambient. The
fixing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface or
attaching fire resistant material to the surface and
covering with sheet metal with minimum thickness of
0.4 mm would satisfy this requirement.

GAS SUPPLY:
✓This appliance is suitable for use with Natural Gas or
LPG. (Check the “gas type” sticker attached to the
appliance).
✓For Natural Gas models the gas supply is connected to
the pressure regulator which is supplied with the
appliance. Adjust the regulator to obtain a test point
pressure of 1 kPa with the two largest burners
operating.
✓For LPG models connect the gas supply directly to the
appliance inlet connection and ensure that the supply
pressure is regulated to 2.75 kPa.
✓Do NOT force the “elbow” rotation prior to
loosening the nut.
✓Do NOT over tighten the nut at the “elbow”.
1. After connecting the gas supply, check the piping and
connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.
The presence of bubbles indicates a leak, tighten or
replace connections as appropriate.
2. Adjust the test point pressure or supply pressure to
the value which is appropriate for the gas type.
3. Turn on the appliance gas controls and light each
burner. Check for a well defined blue flame without
any yellow tipping. If any abnormality is evident then
check that the burner cap is located properly and the
injector nipple is aligned correctly.
4. Check the minimum burner setting by quickly rotating
the gas control knob from the maximum to the
minimum position, the flame must not go out. If
adjustment is required carry out the “minimum burner
setting adjustment" procedure described below.
5. If satisfacfory performance cannot be obtained isolate
the appliance and contact the local gas authority for
advice and assistance.

✓Do NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance
while it is in use.
✓Before using for the first time, clean the cooktop with
warm soapy water.
✓Use the coffee pot support to ensure that small
cooking utensils are stable.
USE and CARE

• 9 •
✓Check that the electricity is switched on to allow
spark ignition.
✓Make sure that all controls are turned to zero.
✓The gas flow to the burner is controlled by a knob
operating on a safety tap. You control the flow by
turning the knob indicator to line up with the following
symbols:
symbol ●: Off
symbol : full on (nominal rate)
symbol : reduced rate
✓To ignite automatically, simply push the required knob
down and turn it to maximum, then press ignition
continuously until the burner lights. When the flame is
lit, you can control the temperature by the knob.
✓To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear
the safety click.
✓Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum
setting, you turn the knob clockwise past the maximum
setting before reaching the off position.
COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
✓The burners are different sizes, and can be used in
different ways.
✓The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat or
foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest for
stews and sauces.
✓Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.
✓For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the
edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of the pan
means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will
take longer to boil.
Figure 13
CORRECT USE OF DOUBLE-RING
BURNER
✓The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto
the pan-support.
✓To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand
in order to avoid any faulty operation of the wok
burner.
WRONG
Figure 14
Figure 15
CORRECT
To ignite the burners with flame failure device:
1. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to the “full on” position,
then maintain this pressure
2. Press ignition continuously until the burner lights.
3. Wait for about 10 seconds after the gas burner has been lit
before letting go of the knob (security valve activation
delay)
4. You can control the temperature by the knob.
If the burner flame should go out for same reason, the safety
valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL ADVICE
✓It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and
especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice,
vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
✓Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic
base.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓All of the enamelled parts must be washed only with a
sponge and soapy water or with non-abrasive products.
Dry, preferably, with a soft cloth or chamois.
STAINLESS STEEL
✓Clean with a suitable product. Always dry fully with a
soft cloth or chamois.
BURNERS AND RACKS
✓These parts may be removed and washed with suitable
products.
✓The burners and their caps must be well dried after
cleaning and put back perfectly into their slots. It is
very important to verify the positioning of the burner-
caps because a misplacing in their slots can cause
serious damage.
✓In the appliances with electrical ignition for the
burners, verify that the electrode is always cleaned well
to permit a regular spark.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
If the ignition spark fails to operate or does not light the
gas check the following items before calling the authorized
service agent:
✓Burner is reassembled and located correctly.
✓Spark electrode and white ceramic are clean and dry.
✓240 VAC power supply is connected.
Contact the local gas utility or the authorized service
agent if:
✓You can smell gas when all burners are turned on.
✓The burners do not remain alight at the minimum
marked setting
✓The burner flame is yellow or emits an unusual odour
Note that a bi-annual inspection of the appliance by an
authorized service agent or your local gas utility will
ensure many years of trouble free operation of your
appliance.
