4. GAS CONNECTION
Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and
conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force.
To facilitate connection, fitting Aon the rear of the appliance may be adjusted laterally. For this purpose,
loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting Ato the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut B(tightness is
ensured by a biconical brass ring). Use a soapy solution to check for proper tightness. Never use a free
flame.
Connection with rigid copper pipe: the connection to the gas
mains must not provoke stress of any kind on the hob. Connection
may be made by using biconical adapter Dwith insertion of gasket
C(supplied).
Connection with flexible pipe: use only flexible pipes conforming
to standard regulations in force, inserting gasket C(supplied)
between fitting Aand flexible pipe E.
The flexible pipe has to be installed so that pipe length does not exceed 1.5 meters of maximum
extension. Make sure that the pipes do not touch any moving parts or become damaged.
4.1 Connection to LPG (20Y)

7. USING THE HOB
Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burner rings, caps and grids have been fitted correctly.
In the ultrarapid burner, notch Amust be aligned with pin B.
Grid C(where available) is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).
Adapter Dcomes only with open grids models and is intended for use with small sized vessels.
7.1 Ignition of the burners
Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the controls, each knob being
connected to its corresponding burner by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or
to the marking on it.
(Only where applicable)
Double-crown burners, controlled by two knobs, feature two ribs, a long one corresponding to the small
inner burner and a short one to the outer burner.
Double-crown burners comprise an auxiliary and a rapid burner, controlled by two different knobs which
allow both burners to be used at the same time or to select one or the other as required.
The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-
clockwise on the low point flame symbol, until the burner is ignited.
Concerning models with valves, push the knob for approximately 2 seconds in order to keep the flame
burning and to activate the safety device.
The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation keeping
the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.
Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety device will trip after
approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet even if the cock is open.

Instructions for the user

7.2 Practical advice for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, flat bottomed,
even pans must be used, with covers and proportional in size to the burners
(see paragraph "7.3 Diameter of the pans").
To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top or to the glass (where
available) while cooking, all pans or griddles must be positioned within the
cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the
knobs.
Take care not to touch the glass of the lid with hot pots and pans.
The glass might crack due to the heat.
7.3 Diameter of the pans
Burners Ø min. and max. (in cm.)

Rapid 12 - 24
Double crown 12 - 28
7.4 Using a griddle plate
A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate and the side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is of triple flame type, leave a gap of at least 160
mm between this wall and the edge of the griddle plate;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle plate;
• operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at maximum power, then turn them
down to the minimum setting. Never use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the appliance.
8.1 Cleaning
Clean the cooking top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it has cooled.
8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob
In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which do not contain
abrasive substances or chlorine-based acid substances.
How to use : pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth or deerskin.
8.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or residuals with non-
scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.
In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by
the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial
products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel's shine. Your local authorised
after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.
Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning.
Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove
all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out. In fact,
humidity residues inside the burner holes might impair burner operation.
8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices
For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices, keep them very clean.
Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.
8.2.2 The cover
Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or
detergents.
Attention: the glass lid may break if overheated. Make sure that all the burners are switched off
and let them cool down before lovering the lid.
After cleaning, the appliance must be dried thoroughly since detergent and water drips might damage its
operation and appearance.
