6. USING THE HOB
6.1 Gas hob
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are
correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the
holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and
thermocouples.
The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob,
the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended
for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in
point "6.3 Pan diameters". All pans more than 30 cm in diameter must
only be used on the central burner.
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition
device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the
burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15
seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60
seconds before trying to light the burner again.
On models equipped with valves, once the burner has ignited, keep the
knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat
up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the
thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and
repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer. This is
not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. Once the
burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required. After
each use of the hob, always check that the control knobs are turned to
(off).
If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped
about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is
open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least
60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.

Instructions for the User
6.2 Practical hints for using the burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans
with flat, even bottoms with lid and of suitable size for the burner, so that
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan
diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far
enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over.
When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle
plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if
overheated.

9. GAS CONNECTION
Before installing, check that the local gas main (type and pressure) and
the appliance's settings are compatible.
There are 2 ways to connect the appliance to the domestic gas main:
1- Make two branches with a pipe or steel hose and unite them with a T-
fitting just downline of the gas main fitting, or
2- Unite the two gas fittings on the appliance itself with a pipe and
intercept the gas main fitting at the T-fitting.
In both cases, all pipes connected to the gas main must be equipped
with a safety shut off valve.
The connection to the gas mains may be made using a copper pipe or a
continuous-wall steel hose in accordance with the relevant regulations.
When installation is complete, check for any leaks with a soapy solution,
never with a naked light. The appliance has been tested for G20 (2H)
natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar.
For use with other types of gas, see point. "10. ADAPTING TO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS".
The gas intake connection has an external ½" gas thread (ISO 228-1).
Connection with copper pipe: The
connection to the gas supply mains
must be made so that no stresses or
strains of any kind are applied to the
appliance. The connection can be
made using the adapter unit Cwith
two conical elements, always fitting
the gasket A supplied.
Connection with steel hose: Use
only continuous wall steel hoses
which comply with the relevant
regulations, and always fit the
provided gasket Abetween the hob
fitting and the hose itself B.
When connecting with a hose, ensure that the total length of the pipeline is
not more than 1.5 metres; also ensure that the hoses do not touch moving
parts and are not crushed.
9.1 Bottled gas connection
Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the gas cylinder in
accordance with the relevant regulations. Make sure that the gas supply
pressure is as stated in the table in point "10.2 Burner and Nozzle Data
Tables".
In this case as well, use a copper pipe or a continuous wall steel hose.

11. FINAL OPERATIONS FOR GAS APPLIANCES
After making the adjustments described above, reassemble the appliance,
reversing the procedures described in point "10.1 Changing the hob
nozzles".
After adjusting for use of a gas other than the gas used for testing the
appliance, replace the gas setting label inside the warming compartment
with the label for the new gas. The label is available from your nearest
Authorised Service Centre.
11.1 Adjusting the minimum setting for natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum
setting. Remove the gas tap knob and adjust the
regulator screw inside or beside the tap rod
(depending on the model) until an even
minimum flame is obtained. Put the knob back in
place and check the stability of the burner flame
(the flame must not go out when the knob is
turned quickly from the maximum to the
minimum setting). Repeat the operation on all
the gas taps.
11.2 Adjusting the minimum for bottled gas
To adjust the minimum level when using bottled gas, the adjuster screw
inside or beside the tap rod must be turned fully clockwise (depending on
the models). The diameters of the bypasses for each individual burner are
stated in point "10.2 Burner and Nozzle Data Tables".
11.3 Greasing the gas taps
Over time, the gas taps may become stiff or jam. Clean their insides and
change their lubricating grease. This operation must be carried out by a
skilled technician.
