owners of the appliance.
Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of
children. It can become a choking or suffocation
hazard (see Precautions and tips)
! This appliance shall be installed only by
authorised personnel and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, local gas
fitting regulations, municipal building codes, water
supply regulations, electrical wiring regulations,
AS 5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations and any other
statutory regulations.
! Ventilation - Ventilation must be in accordance
with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In
general, the appliance should have adequate
ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper
flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate
surrounding within safe limits.
Positioning - The appliance can be fitted into a
working area as illustrated on the corresponding
figure. Apply the seal provided over the whole of
the area perimeter.
Combustible Surfaces - Any adjoining surface
situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob
burner must be a suitable non-combustable
material for a height of 150mm for the entire
length of the hob. Any combustible construction
above the hotplate must be at least 600mm above
the top of the burner and no construction shall be
within 450mm above the top of the burner. A
minimum depth of 60mm from the top of the
worktop surface must be provided for the
appliance.
Access to base - Where the base of the hotplate
can be accidentally touched, such as through a
cupboard or a pot drawer, a panel should be fixed
15mm below the base of the hotplate to prevent
accidental contact. The base of the hotplate is
very hot during operation.
Data Label - The Data Label is located on the
underside of the appliance. A duplicate label is
supplied to adhere in an accessible area adjacent
to the appliance. This appliance is suitable for
Natural and Propane Gas; ensure the available
gas supply matches the data label.
Gas connection - The Gas Connection is male
1/2” BSP and is situated 50mm from the right,
50mm from the rear of the hotplate and 25mm
below the top surface of the bench top.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to
the main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid
pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a
Flexible Hose, which complies with
AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm
ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long
and in accordance with AS5601
Ensure that the Hose does not contact the hot
surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or
other appliance that may be installed underneath
or next to the hotplate.
The hose should not be subjected to abrasion,
kinking or permanent deformation and should be
able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions
compatible with the hose fittings must be used and
connections tested for gas leaks. The supply
connection point shall be accessible with the
appliance installed.
When the installation has been carried out, check
the perfect sealing of the entire connection
system, by using soapy solution.
Power Connection - Simply plug into a 3 pin
household socket outlet which is properly earthed.
Warning: In order to avoid hazard, any electrical
work performed on this equipment or its
associated wiring, should only be done by persons
authorised by the supplier or similarly qualified
persons.
The socket outlet for this hotplate shall be installed
near the hotplate and shall be easily accessible.

Installation
Make sure you take all the necessary precautions
to guarantee proper installation in compliance with
the applicable regulations.
All surfaces adjacent to the cabinet and the back
panel should be made of materials resistant to a
temperature of 65 °C.
1. Built-in hobs to be slotted in (see fig. 2,
detail H1). In this case it is necessary to
make a hole in the worktop whose
measurements match those of the hob.
The measurement at the side should be
reduced by 10 mm for horizontal sides
and 6 mm for vertical sides, in order to
ensure that 10 mm of the hob perimeter
overlaps with and rests on top of the
supporting surface for horizontal sides
(this figure should be 6 mm for vertical
sides, see fig. 4a-4b). To slot in the hob
flush with the worktop, the cut-out on this
supporting surface must be lowered, so
that both the edge of the hob and the seal
under it can be positioned there.Before
fitting the hob to the worktop, position the
seal provided along the perimeter of the
hob, as illustrated in Fig. 5. Brackets for
fixing worktops to the cabinet have been
provided, and these should be fitted as
shown in detail S (Fig. 3).
2. Built-in hobs with edges lower than 88
mm (see figure 2, detail H2); to install this
type of hob, a hole large enough to
accommodate the whole lower casing of
the appliance must be made on the
worktop intended to be under the hob.
Remember to leave a gap of at least 1 cm
between the lower casing and the
worktop around the whole perimeter of
the appliance (the underside of the casing
can, however, touch the surface below it).
To fit the appliances, follow the
instructions given above in point 1 or use
any supplementary instruction leaflet that
is provided in special cases.
3. Sit-on hobs with edges higher than 88
mm (see figure 2, detail H3). In this case,
the lower casing of the hob does not
protrude further than the edge of the
appliance. Even when the hob is resting
on the worktop, it will suffice to leave
space for the gas supply tube and
electricity supply cable.
fig.1
Securing the appliance to the cabinet
There are 3 different methods for installation of
the appliance:
fig.2

N.B.: If the appliance is installed above an oven, a wooden panel must be fitted underneath the
hob as insulation. It should be fixed at least 20 mm away from the hob casing.
The appliance must be fitted to the kitchen cabinets using suitable fixing accessories (these are
provided) which may vary according to the type of installation required and the proportions of the
appliance.

Electrical Connection
The hobs come equipped with a 3 pin plug and
power cable. The plug and power cable comply
with Australian requirements. Please check the
power rating, voltage and frequency indicated on
the data plate (located on the bottom of the hob
as well as on the front cover of this manual).
If the appliance is to be installed above an electric
built-in electric oven, the electrical connection to
the hob and oven must be carries out separately,
both for electrical safety purposes and to make it
easier to remove the oven.
The supply cable must not come into contact with
surfaces higher than 50°C.
! The installer must ensure the electrical
connection has been made and is compliant with
AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure
that:
•The appliance is earthed and the plug is
compliant with the law.
•The socket can withstand the maximum
power of the appliance, which is
indicated on the data plate.
•The voltage is in the range between the
values indicated on the data plate.
•The socket is compatible with the plug of
the appliance. If the socket is
incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it. Do
not use extension cords or multiple
sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the
power supply cable and the electrical socket must
be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and
replaced by authorised technicians only (see
Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.

Adapting to various types of gas
Warning: Servicing should be carried out only by
authorised personnel.
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other
than the default type (indicated by the label
placed on the upper part of the hob or on the
packaging), the burner nozzles should be
replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the
burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm
socket spanner (fig.10), and replace
them with nozzles for the new type of
gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle
characteristics”).
3. Reassemble the parts following the
above procedure in the reverse order.
4. Once this procedure is finished, replace
the old rating sticker with one indicating
the new type of gas used. Sticker are
available from any of our Service
Centres.

Setting the burners to minimum (only for
natural gas)
1. While the hob is switched off, press the
power button T1. Press the lock button T2
(D1 lights up).
2. Press the buttons T2, T5 and T9
simultaneously and hold them down until
the numerical value 01 appears on the
display 02; on the displays D3, 4, 5 and 6
a numerical value appears which
indicates the set minimum level. This
level ranges from 9. (the point
corresponds to a negative indication, i.e. -
9) to 9: there are therefore 19 minimum
levels to choose from.
3. Press the + or – button corresponding to
the burner you are adjusting; the burner
will be activated at its maximum level to
begin with, and will then be adjusted to
the minimum setting value indicated at
that moment by the display corresponding
to that burner.
4. Use the + or – buttons corresponding to
the relevant burner to increase or
decrease the minimum level; if the
minimum level is too low, causing the
burner to switch off or operate at such a
low level that the thermocouple does not
detect the flame, the burner operates at
its maximum level for a few seconds and
then returns to the minimum level.
After replacing the nozzles, change the hob
setting using the control panel as follows:
1. While the hob is switched off, press the
power button T1.
2. Press the lock button T2 (D1 lights up).
3. Press the buttons T2, T7 and T11
simultaneously, holding them down until
a numerical value appears on the display
D2. At this point, with the hob set to
natural gas at 1.0kPa, the display shows
01;
4. to convert the hob to operation with
ULPG at 2.75kPa 29, press the T4
button once, so that the value 02
appears on the display D2. The hob will
allow 2 adjustments to be made: 01 and
02, which correspond to natural gas at
1.0kPa mbar and ULPG at 2.75kPa
respectively.

5. Repeat the process until the minimum
level is high enough. To save the
minimum level setting for the burner, as
soon as it has been adjusted press the
corresponding + and – buttons
simultaneously; if this procedure is not
performed the new setting will not be
saved.
6. Once the adjustment procedures have
been completed for the various burners,
press the T2, T5 and T9 buttons
simultaneously (in this case the T2 button
should be pressed slightly before the
other two); hold the buttons down for
approximately 5 seconds, until the hob
returns to the status of being switched off
with the keypad locked.
7. To use the hob, unlock the keypad by
pressing button T2.
NOTE: if none of the buttons on the keypad are
pressed for more than 1 minute during the
adjustment stage, the appliance exits the function
automatically.
When converting from Natural Gas to Propane
ensure that the NG regulator is removed and
replaced with the test point assembly. A gas
regulator suitable for a supply pressure of
2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and
should be adjusted with the wok burner operating
at maximum.
The appliance is factory set for Natural Gas. The
test point pressure should be adjusted to 1.00kPa
with the wok burner (or rapid burner if there is no
wok burner) operating at maximum.
Replace the old data plate with one which is
suitable for the type of gas for which the appliance
has been regulated.
Before Leaving - Check all connections for gas
leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked
flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners to
ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners
and ignition.
Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe
stability of the flame. When satisfied with the
hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct
method of operation.
In case the appliance fails to operate correctly
after all checks have been carried out, refer to the
authorised service provider in your area.
SAFETY TIMES FOR EACH BURNER:
The safety time when the appliance is switched off
(the interval between the flame being switched off
and subsequent P.C.B. reaction, namely
reignition) is less than 10 seconds.
The safety time (the interval between the opening
of the valve and its closure if no flame is detected;
this coincides with the maximum spark duration) is
6 seconds.
BREAKDOWN SITUATIONS AND RESULTING
BEHAVIOUR OF THE APPLIANCE:
1. Flame monitoring device breakage: the
burner cannot remain lit and therefore
enters its safety mode. A fault signal is
shown on the display.
2. No sparks: it is not possible to light the
burner. The P.C.B. blocks the gas supply
to the burner after the safety time has
elapsed.
3. Tap seizes up in any of the operating
positions: the burner loses its ability to
modulate the flame but can still be
switched off and left in safe mode.
4. The magnet seizes up in an open
position: it is, nevertheless, possible to
switch the appliance off.
5. The magnet seizes up in a closed
position: it is not possible to light the
burner.
6. Any breakdown of the P.C.B. will mean
that it is not possible to operate the
appliance at all.
