PERSONNEL ACCORDING TO THE APPLICABLE
INSTALLATION REGULATIONS.
An opening must be made in the worktop of
the dimensions specified in drawing 6.
The hob may be attached to kitchen units 20,
30 and 40 mm thick.
When positioning the hob there must be a
ventilation slot of 110 cm2at the front of the
kitchen unit. The minimum distance from the
lower part of the hob to the kitchen unit must
be 20 mm If there is not a ventilation slot, the
minimum distance from the hob to the kitchen
unit must be 130 mm

See the applicable manual.
Once the hob position has been dimensioned,
the seal must be affixed (J) to the hob.
Fix the clamps (K) into the holes on the lower
part of the case, as shown in drawing 9, by
tightening the four screws supplied (ø4.2
mm).
The clamps (K) and seal (J) are supplied in the
packaging along with the hob.
The gas connection of the hob must be made
in accordance with the applicable installation
standards or regulations.
The room must be provided with adequate
ventilation, in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
The hob is prepared with a 1/2” diameter
screw connection according to ISO 228-1. A
ø10/12 mm copper pipe to which the gas
supply pipe can be welded is supplied as an
accessory.
Each time the gas connection nut is removed
the washer must be replaced.
To avoid causing damage to the hob during
installation when tightening the gas pipe
connection nut, a maximum grip torque of 350
cm kgf must be used.
Once the gas connection has been made,
the airtightness of the installation must be
checked. If the check is made using air, the
testing pressure must be no greater than 200
g/cm2. If air is not available, use soapy water
to check that no leak is produced at the
connections. It is strictly recommended not to
use a flame to make the check.
Once the hob has been installed, check that
the flame is regulated at its minimum setting.
To make this check light the burners and make
sure that they do not go out when you change
rapidly from high to low.
Do not connect the hobs with urban gas
containing CO.

Before connecting the hob to the power
supply, check that the voltage and frequency
are those specified in the rating plate located
on the lower part of the hob.
The power supply connection must be done by
using an easily accessible omni-pole switch or
plug suitable for the strength to be supported
and with a minimum distance of 3 mm
between contacts to guarantee the switching-
off in emergency situations or when cleaning
the hob.
Connection must be done by using an
appropriate earth connection according to the
applicable regulations.
In the event that it were necessary to change
the flexible power supply cable in these hobs,
it must be replaced by official TEKA technicians
as special tools are required.
Prevent any contact of the power supply cable
either with the case of the hob or with that of
the oven, if this is installed in the same unit.
Ventilation:
• Take into account that certain oven models
require the installation of a top ventilation slot
of a size between 30 and 40 mm (consult the
applicable manual).
Warning:
• If the furniture under the hob is going to be
used for the storage of products, the minimum
distance between these products and the hob
must be 15 cm. It should be also taken into
account that temperature inside the furniture
may reach 600C.
• The glues used in the manufacturing of the
furniture or when gluing the decorative
tissues, as well as those which are part of
the worktops, must be prepared to bear
temperatures of up to 1000C.
Important!
The transformation of the appliance to use a
different gas to that for which it has been
sold must only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
Information for the Technical Ser vice: in the
event of conversion of the type of gas or
pressure in the appliance, the new regulation
label must be placed over the existing one, in
order to identify the new characteristics after
the changeover.
To make the transformation replace the gas
nozzles and regulate the minimum settings of
the taps.
The gas nozzles necessary for each type of
gas are indicated in table 1.
Electrical connection
Gas transformation

To replace the gas nozzles it is necessary to
follow the following instructions:
• Remove the pan supports and the top part
of the burners in order to access the nozzle.
• Use a no 7 tubular spanner to remove
the nozzles and replace them with the
corresponding alternative nozzles. Take care
to tighten the nozzles well so as to avoid the
risk of gas leaks.
• Reposition the pan support and burner
covers.
Once the gas nozzles have been replaced, the
following instructions must be followed to
graduate the minimum settings .
• Remove the controls and joints from the
control panel to access the gas taps.
• Light the burners at their minimum setting.
• Use a small screw-driver to remove the
screw on the right or centre of the plug of the
gas key until the minimum flame is set (turn
left to increase the flame and right to decrea-
se the flame).
• Once the setting has been graduated check
that the flame remains at its minimum setting
when the control is brusquely turned between
the maximum and minimum setting
TEKA INDUSTRIAL, S.A. will not accept
responsibility for incorrect hob operation if the
gas transformation and regulation of minimum
burner settings are not carried out by TEKA’s
official Technical Service.

Special requirements
before first use
Lighting of burners
Before connecting the hob to the power supply
check that the voltage and frequency are tho-
se indicated in the rating plate located on the
lower part of the hob.
Remove the protecting plastic affixed to the
hob, if any.
• Check that the controls are in the correct
position.
• Open the mains connection gas tap or the
gas bottle cock.
• Put a lit match, lighter or flame, etc. next
to the burner if no automatic lighting is
available.
While keeping the burner control pressed, turn
it in anti-clockwise direction as far as it will go
until the maximum setting (large flame “C”).
The burner operates at that moment at full
power. Then, if desired, turn the control to the
minimum position (small flame “D”).
The hob with automatic lighting and safety
system must be operated as follows:
1. Press the burner control.
2. Keeping the burner control pressed, turn it
completely until the gas ignition takes place
and continue pressing for 5 seconds to let the
safety thermocouple act.
3. Place the control at the desired setting.
For the proper functioning of the automatic
lighting system, clean the lighter (both ceramic
and electrode) regularly with maximum care
to prevent sparking problems. Also check
that the burner openings do not have
obstructions.
The control panel features an illustration (A),
in which the shaded area indicates to which
burner each control corresponds.
For safety reasons we recommend that the
gas supply tap should be turned off when the
hob is not in use, in accordance with gas
supply company instructions.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply tap of
the hob and ventilate the room. The gas
installation and the hob must be checked by a
specialised technician.
Warning:
The burners have hot zones during or after
their use which may cause burns. Keep
children away.
Use flat bottomed pans and check that they
are placed correctly on the pan support, in
order to prevent pans from sliding when their
contents start to boil (do not use pans with
concave or convex bases).
The minimum diameter of the pans to be used
on each burner is 140 mm. For pans of
smaller diameters use the small burner with
the pan support supplement.
Hobs with safety system (models with AL
letters) have a mains connection gas device
made up of the following elements:
• Safety tap
• Safety thermocouple next to the burner
• Thermocouple-tap connection
The thermocouple issues an electrical signal
to the tap which detects whether or not there
is a flame in the burner. Keep the tap pressed
in for 5 seconds at least when lighting until
the thermocouple gets hot and issues the
sufficient electrical signal to the tap. When the
burner is off the thermocouple detects the
lack of flame and the safety tap cuts the gas
supply.

• Do not use large burners with pans of small
diameters as part of the flame will be
deflected around the outside of the pan, thus
considerably reducing efficiency.

• Lit burners must not be left uncovered in
order to avoid the wastage of gas and to
prevent the excessive heating of the pan
support. It is important that the pan is
covered, this will save power.
• When the burners are lit they must not be
exposed to strong drafts. As well as reducing
their calorific power there is a risk that the
flame may be blown out, leading to gas leaks
– except in hobs with safety system - which
could cause an accident. Care should be
taken in this respect particularly when burners
are operating at a low setting.
• If the burner causes the blackening of pans,
or the points of the flames are yellow, it needs
to be cleaned. If this fault persists, get in
touch with your Technical Service.
• Do not use plates or grills for boiling with a
low flame. These may cause damage to the
hob.
• Do not use melting plates on the pan
support. These reflect excessive heat on the
hob.
• Pans placed on the burners must not be
allowed to protrude over the edges of the hob,
in order to prevent deflected flames from
damaging worktops with surfaces non-resistant
to high temperatures.
• Pan supports should be cleaned with a
non-abrasive scouring cloth after they have
cooled off.
• Burners must be cleaned periodically,
particularly the grooves in the burner heads.
This is achieved by soaking in warm soapy
water and scrubbing with a scouring cloth or a
stiff brush.
• Do not clean the enamelled burner covers
when they are still hot. Damage can be
caused by abrasive products such as vinegar,
coffee, milk, salt water and tomato juice, as a
result of prolonged contact with the enamelled
surfaces.
• Stainless steel must be washed with soapy
water and a soft cloth. If the surface
continues to be yellow after washing, we
recommend the use of lemon, vinegar, diluted
ammoniac or a cleaning product which
contains ammoniac.
• When the burners have been dismantled for
cleaning purposes, care should be taken to
prevent liquids or other objects from entering
the nozzle unit.
• Do not use cleaning products which are
aggressive to aluminium, such as caustic
soda, oil, etc.

NB: Each time a burner is put in place,
check that all the parts are properly fitted.
If any component is badly placed this may
cause bad combustion and/or excessive
heating.
Each time the gas taps are dismantled,
the washer which connects them with the
distribution pipe should be replaced. The
burners are operating correctly when their
flame is stable and of a blue-green colour. If
the points of the flame are yellow the burners
should be well cleaned. If the problem
persists, contact your Technical Service.
To guarantee the air-tightness of the gas
installation and the correct operation of the
burners, the hob must be serviced by TEKA’s
specialised Technical Service at least once
every four years.
N.B.
Any r equired modification or setting of the
appliance must be carried out by authorised
technical personnel.
The electric hotplates are controlled by a
seven-step switch. To obtain different powers
the corresponding control must be turned to
the desired setting. The control panel features
an illustration (A), in which the shaded area
indicates to which hotplate each control
corresponds.

The pan should be placed on the hotplate
before it is switched on.
The powers corresponding to each setting of
the control knob are shown in the following

The red-point hotplate (1500 W) heats up
especially quickly and at its maximum power
during approximately the first five minutes.
After this time its power drops to 750 W and it
conserves the same temperature.
When connecting the hotplate for the first
time, or if the plate has not been used for a
long time, it is necessary to dry out any
humidity which may have been absorbed by
the insulation. To achieve this, switch the
hotplate on, without any pan, for five minutes
at power position 2. The unpleasant smell and
smoke given off are not dangerous. Good
ventilation is necessary by opening any outsi-
de door or window.
In order to get the maximum efficiency when
operating our electric hotplates the following
requirements must be met:
• Use completely flat-bottomed pans. A big
contact surface between the hotplate and the
pan leads to a higher heat transmission. The
bases of pans should be thick in order to
prevent dents. Observe in the drawing that
pans with dents and bumps lead to a smaller
contact surface. (See drawing 16).
• Do not use pans with smaller diameters
than that of the hotplate. This will prevent
contents from being spilt onto the hotplates
when they start to boil.
• Dry the outer bases of pans before placing
them onto the hotplates.
• When cooking is finished, the hotplate
should be at a low setting or should be turned
off before removing the pan; just in this way
there is a benefit from the accumulated heat
and the assurance that the hot plate is not
functioning uncovered.

• Before cleaning all electrical current must
be disconnected.
• Do not use cleaning products which are
aggressive to aluminium, such as soda, acids,
etc.
