Cookware Usage
When boiling water, place the lid over your cookware to bring it to a boil
faster. The pressure created from the lid will keep the temperature up,
and in turn save the amount of natural gas required to boil water.
Pay extra attention when cooking foods involving fats or oils. These
substances can easily catch re if brought to high temperatures.
!

Wash enameled parts with lukewarm water and detergent. Do not use
abrasive products which might damage them.
Wash the ame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent,
taking care to remove all deposits. The hob pan stands can also be washed in
a dishwasher.
For stubborn grime, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specic
commercial products. We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel
wool or acids for cleaning.
Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic “ignition plug” and a metal
electrode (B in g.1 page 7). Clean these parts thoroughly periodically. To avoid
ignition difculties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap and separate the
two parts (g. 1 page 7). After cleaning, put the parts back together and return
them correctly to their position. After washing, replace the hob pan stands,
checking that they are correctly positioned before placing a cookware on top.
Have the condition and efciency of the gas pipe and the pressure regulator
checked periodically. If anomalies are found, do not attempt to repair, but have
the faulty part replaced completely.
To ensure good performance and safety, the gas regulator taps must be
greased periodically.
General Cleaning
Cleaning Ignition Plugs
Routine Maintenance
Periodic lubrication of the taps must only be carried out by qualied
personnel, who must also be contacted if the appliance malfunctions.
Before cleaning or servicing your cooktop, disconnect it from the
electrical mains and allow it to cool down.

This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside
or outside, or constructed close to the oor. The opening is recommended to
be on the side opposite to that on which the ue gases are discharged.
If it is not feasible to provide these openings in the room where the appliance
is installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided
that:
• This room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
• This room has ventilation;
• The ventilation between the room where the appliance is installed and the
adjacent room have openings.
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their ue gases through hoods
connected directly to ues or the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the
hood an electric fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of
the room, provided it is possible for the ventilation opening to be increased in
proportion to the delivery rate of the fan.
For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must guarantee an hourly air
exchange of 3-5 times its volume. In both instances, the use of ues already
used by other appliances to discharge the ue gases is forbidden.
The gas connection must be made in accordance with
the local standards. When installing, t a safety tap at
the end of the pipeline.
The appliance leaves the factory tested and set for the
type of gas indicated on the plate inside the bottom
guard, close to the gas connection pipe. Make sure
that the type of gas to be supplied to the appliance
is the same as that shown on the plate. Otherwise,
follow the instructions provided in the “Adapting to
different types of gas” section.
Discharge of Flue Gases
Connecting To The Gas Supply

13
Make the connection to the gas system using a rigid metal pipe and regulation
unions, or with a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard.
If metal hoses are used, take care that they do not come into contact with
mobile parts and are not crushed. This must also be checked if the hob is to
be combined with an oven. The gas intake connection of the appliance has a “
male thread.”
When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to
the appliance.
1. Remove the pan stand.
2. Remove the burner caps.
3. Use a 7mm socket wrench to unscrew and remove the nozzle, replace
them with those corresponding to the type of gas to be used.
4. Reassemble the parts.
5. Replace the setting data with the one for the new type of gas. If the
pressure of the gas used is different from that specied, a suitable
standard compliant piped gas pressure regulator must be installed on the
supply pipeline. To nd out about your gas pressure, contact your local
natural gas supplier.
For maximum efciency and minimum consumption, make sure that the
gas supply pressure complies with the values shown. Otherwise, a suitable
pressure regulator must be installed on the supply pipeline.
The union must be tted on the end of the gas train. Complete with G1/2”
threaded nut, tting the gasket between the components as shown in the
illustration. The gaskets must comply with the local standards. Screw the parts
together without forcing, t the union so that it points in the direction required,
then tighten all parts.
Connection
Adapting To Different Types Of Gas
When the installation is complete, always check that all the unions are
absolutely tight using a soapy solution. Never use a ame to make this
check.

1. Light the burner
2. Turn the knob to the minimum position
3. Remove the control knobs.
4. Use a thin straight screwdriver to turn the by-pass pin located next to the
tap rod. For LPG, turn the by-pass pin fully clockwise.
5. The result should be a small, homogeneous ame which is uniform around
the entire burner ring.
6. Finally, check that the burner does not go out when the tap is turned
quickly from the maximum to the minimum position.
❏The safety circuit-breaker and the electrical system are able to withstand
the load of the appliance (see nameplate).
❏The power supply system has a grounding connection in good working
order in accordance with the regulations in force;
❏The socket or omni polar switch used are easily accessible with the
appliance installed.
The appliance is proted to operate with a power supply voltage of 120V
single-phase. The connection must be made in accordance with the
regulations and laws in force.
Before making any electrical connections, make sure that:
Color Property
Yellow/Green Ground
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
A plug has been outtted on this appliance so you can easily connect it to a
suitable safety socket. If you wish to make a direct connection to the mains,
an omni polar switch with a gap between the contacts of at least 3mm, of
suitable rating for the load and complying with the regulations in force, must
be installed between the appliance and the mains. The switch must not break
contact in the yellow/green grounding wire.
Setting Minimum Flame Level
Electrical

15
If the lead has to be replaced, only HO5RR-F or HO5RN-F type cables suitable
for the load and the operating temperature must be used. In addition, the
yellow/green grounding wire must be about 2 cm longer than the live and
neutral wires.
The cooktop is designed for installation in standard tted kitchen cabinets up
to 24” (600mm) deep with suitable characteristics.
Any cabinet side panels taller than the height of the hob itself must be at least
6” (150mm) away from the opening into which the cooktop is inserted.
Before inserting the cooktop in the cutout opening, place the included gasket
around the bottom edge of the cooktop. It is important to x this gasket evenly,
without gaps or overlapping, to prevent liquid from seeping underneath the
hob.
The brown live wire (connected to the “L” terminal of the terminal board) must
always be connected to the live wire of the power supply mains.
The power supply lead must be positioned so that it does not reach a
temperature 50°C above the room temperature at any point.
One example of an ideal route is guiding the cable by means of band clamps
xed to the side of the cabinet, in order to avoid any contact with the appliance
or any storage content underneath the hob.
Replacing The Power Supply Lead
Placement & Insertion
1. Remove all external hardware and parts and
turn the cooktop upside down, taking care
not to damage the ignition plugs and the
thermocouples.
2. Place the gasket around the bottom edge of
the cooktop as shown in the illustration on
the right.
3. Place the hob in the installation opening and
press down so that the cooktop is resting
rmly on the cabinet. The side springs will
hold it in place.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
CUTOUT SIZES
When constructing the cabinet, suitable precautions must be taken to prevent
contact with the housing of the cooktop. The housing will become very hot
during operation.
To overcome this problem, we recommend at least 20mm of space between
the bottom of the cooktop and the top of the cabinet top panel.
The panel underneath the cooktop must be easily removable to allow the
cooktop to be locked in position and released in case of servicing work.
28 15/16” (735mm) x 19 1/4” (490mm)
Minimum 3” (75mm) From Back
Minimum 6” (150mm) From Side or Wall
To install the cooktop over an oven, there must be supports for the oven to
allow satisfactory ventilation.
The electrical connections of the cooktop and oven must be made separately
for safety and electrical reasons. It will also simplify the removal of the oven
through the front of the cabinet if needed.
Wall cabinets or range hoods must be at least 25.5” (650mm) above the
cooktop.
