4. Operation instructions
4.1. Before using the appliance
Using the appliance for the rst time or when heating elements or cooking plates have been
changed, turn on plates and ovens at MINIMUM temperature for SEVERAL hours or until the insulation
resistance is OK. This allows remaining humidity in the heating elements and cooking plates to dry up. In
fact, on rst connection, the earth insulation can be relatively inadequate, but after the above-mentioned ini-
tialization run the insulation level will normally be re-established according to CEI 18-6 part 307 regulations.
Setting the power or temperature to maximum right away at rst run may damage the heating elements
or the cooking plates.
In unclear cases contact our technical support:
[email protected]
The cooking plates of the range are protected with a thin layer of oil for the duration of storage and trans-
portation. When heating up the range for the rst time the oil may create some smoke and unpleasant
smell. This is quite normal and disappears quickly when using the range.
4.1.1. Selectingcookware
Always use at-based cookware in order to achieve good heat transfer and to increase the service life
of the cooking plate. Placing a cold and wet pan on a red-hot cooking plate should be avoided as the
thermal tensions created considerably decrease the service life of the plate.
You get the best benet from the range as well as from the cookware by observing the following:
• Use good quality at-based cookware.
• Wait for pans to cool before putting them in cold water.
• Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use.
• Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.
• Always use pan lids except when frying.
• Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only low or medium heat is necessary.
4.2. Using the range
Switch the appliance o󰀨 if it is damaged or is malfunctioning. Contact authorised service personnel using
original spare parts for service of the appliance.
Ranges intended for use aboard ships are equipped with a potrack. Using a range aboard a ship without
the potrack is prohibited.
During the installation, a mains switch have been tted near the range, often on a wall nearby. Check that
the mains switch is in the ON position.
The range is controlled with power regulators and pilot lights.

Operating panel
1. Spillage tray
2. Pilot light cooking plate
3. Power regulator front plate
4. Power regulator, rear plate
Each cooking plate is equipped with a 7-position power regulator which allows powerregulation in several
steps. A green pilot light for every cooking plate indicates that the plate is on.
Cooking is started by turning the power regulator to position 6. When boiling starts, the power is de-
creased as needed. Usually it is possible to use a small or medium power setting.
Do not leave the cooking plate on without any load, because it then overheats, which considerably de-
creases the service life of the plate. By turning the cooking plate o󰀨 when not needed, energy is saved
and a cooler working environment is achieved.
If there are interruptions in the electricity distribution, all power regulators of therange should be set to the
0 position. This should be done in order to prevent unexpectedstart-up of the range when the electricity
distribution is restored.
4.3. After use
4.3.1. Cleaning
Use of a water hose or pressure cleaning jet is strictly forbidden.
It is not allowed to wipe the undersides of cooking plates swung up to a cleaning position with a wet
sponge, cloth etc., because water owing down the plate is absorbed into the insulating material thus
causing earth leakage.
When cleaning the cooking plates, observe that they are hot a long time after they have been switched
o󰀨. When the cooking plates are swinged up for cleaning, it is advisable to support the plate in the up-
per position with one hand thus preventing the possibility that they unexpectedly return to their working
position.
Be careful when removing the spillage tray, as it may contain spillages that are still hot.
Cleaning is very easy, if possible spillovers are removed immediately with a damp cloth. Sugar and mixes
containing much sugar must be removed immediately, because later removing is laborious.
In all cleaning, prefer chemical cleaning methods rather than mechanical rubbing. Use a slightly alkaline
detergent (pH 8-10) diluted in water according to instructions when cleaning the surfaces of the range.

Always dry the cooking plates after cleaning by heating them up.
Clean cooking plates give an e󰀩cient heat transfer to the cookware. Cooking is then fastand the service
life of the cooking plates is extended.
The spillage tray is pulled out and cleaned. Outer surfaces are wiped o󰀨 with a damp clothand then wiped
dry.
4.3.2. Otherservicemeasures
The appliance does not include any user serviceable parts inside. Service must be left toauthorised
service personnel.

5. Installation
5.1. General
The installation of this appliance must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
and in compliance with local rules and regulations. These instructions must be used together with the
installation drawing.
The connection of the appliance to the electric supply must be carried out by qualied persons only.
5.2. Transporting and unpacking the appliance
The best way to move the range is to keep it in its package as long as possible while it also protects the
range from outer damage. If it is necessary to unpack the range, possible lifting must be done from the
bottom frame using suitable spacers of wood. In order to avoid damages it is not allowed to use the cook-
ing top as a workbench during installation.
5.3. Positioning the range
Because the temperature of a cooking plate accidentally forgotten on without a pan may reach even
550°C, it is mandatory to follow local re safety regulations when installing the range.
The range is positioned in the installation place and adjusted in a horizontal position from the adjustable
legs.
When the range is on the correct location and in a horizontal position, it must be bolted to the oor, the
land models by the anges in the rear adjusting legs and the marine models from all four leg anges.
5.4. Electrical connections
Besides the live electrical parts, also look out for possible moving mechanisms inside the appliance, if
there is a need for testing during installation and the guards or cover plates are detached.
In order to make eventual future service easier and increase safety, a mains switch must be installed near
the appliance. This switch must disconnect the appliance completely from the electrical supply network.
The input of the power cable is at the bottom of the stove, in the right front corner. The connection point
for the input cable can be found behind the right side panel. The right side panel must be removed.
Take into account the adjustment movement of the stove (200 mm) when installing the supply cable if the
stove is equipped with height adjustment.
