2.3. Gas Connection
Assembly of gas supply and
leakage c eck
The connection of the appliance should
be performed in accordance with
applicable local and international
standards and regulations. First, check
what type of gas is installed on the
cooker. This information is a ailable on a
sticker on the back of the
cooker. You can find the information
related to appropriate gas types and
appropriate gas injectors in the technical
data table.
Check that the feeding gas pressure is
compliant with alues on the technical
data table, to be able to get the most
efficient use and to ensure the minimum
gas consumption. If the pressure of used
gas is different than the alues stated or
not stable in your area, it may be
necessary to assemble an a ailable
pressure regulator on the gas inlet. You
should contact the authorised ser ice to
make these adjustments.
Points t at must be c ecked during
flexible ose assembly:
• If the gas connection is made by a
flexible hose fixed onto the gas inlet of
the hob, it must be fixed on by a pipe
collar.
• Connect your appliance with a short
and durable hose that is as close as
possible to the gas source.
• The permitted maximum length of the
hose is 1.5 m.
12

• The hose that supplies the appliance
with gas must be changed once a year
for your security.
• The hose must be kept clear of areas
that may heat up to temperatures of
more than 90°C.
• The hose must not be cracked, torn,
bent or folded.
• Keep the hose clear of sharp corners
and objects that could mo e.
• Before you assemble the connection,
you must make sure the hose is not
damaged. Use bubbly water or leakage
fluids to perform the check. Do not use
a naked flame to check for gas leakage.
• All metal items that are used during
gas connection must be free from
rust. Check the expiry date of any
components used for connection.
Points t at must be c ecked during
fixed gas connection assembly:
The method used to assemble a fixed
gas connection (gas connection made by
threads, e.g. a nut) aries according to the
country you are in. The most common parts
for your country will be supplied with your
appliance. Any other parts required can be
supplied as spare parts.
During connection, always keep the nut
on the gas manifold fixed while rotating
the counter-part. Use appropriately-sized
spanners for a safe connection. For
surfaces between different components
always use the seals pro ided in the gas
con ersion kit.
The seals used during connection should
also be appro ed to be used in gas
connections. Do not use plumbing seals for
gas connections.
Remember that this appliance is ready
to be connected to the gas supply in the
country for which it has been produced.
The main country of destination is marked
on the rear co er of the appliance. If you
need to use it in another country, any
of the connections in the figure below
may be required. In such a case, contact
local authorities to learn the correct gas
connection.
The Cooker must be installed and
maintained by a suitably qualified gas
registered technician in accordance with
current safety legislation.
A WARNING: Do not use a naked flame
to check for gas leaks.
2.4. Gas Conversion
Your appliance is designed to be operated
with LPG/NG gas. The gas burners can
be adapted to different types of gas, by
replacing the corresponding injectors and
adjusting the minimum flame length suitable
to the gas in use. For this purpose, the
following steps should be performed:
C anging injectors
Hob burners
• Cut off the main gas supply and unplug
13

the appliance from the mains electrical
supply.
• Remo e the burner caps and the
adapters.
• Use a 7 mm spanner to unscrew the
injectors.
• Replace the injector with the ones from
the gas con ersion kit, with the correct
diameters for the type of gas that is
going to be used, according to the gas
injector table.
Adjusting t e minimum flame position:
First of all, make sure that the appliance
is unplugged from the the mains electrical
supply and that the gas feed is open. The
minimum flame position is adjusted with a
flat screw located on the al e. For al es
with a flame failure safety de ice, the screw
is located on the side of the al e spindle
as in figures. For al es without a flame
failure safety de ice, the screw is located
inside the al e spindle as in figure. To
make adjusting the flame position easier,
we recommend that you remo e the control
panel (and the micro switch if your model
has one) during the alteration. The position
of the bypass screw must be loosened for
con ersion from LPG to NG. For con ersion
from NG to LPG, the bypass screw must be
tightened.
Determining t e minimum flame position
To determine the minimum position, ignite
the burners and lea e them on in minimum
position. Remo e the knobs because the
screws are accessible only when the knobs
are remo ed. With the help of a small
screwdri er, fasten or loosen the bypass
screw by around 90 degrees. When the
flame has a length of at least 4mm, the gas
is well distributed. Make sure that the flame
does not die out when passing from the
maximum position to the minimum position.
Create an artificial wind with your hand
toward the flame to see if the flames are
stable.
C anging t e gas inlet
For some countries, the gas inlet type can
be different for NG/LPG gases. In such
a case, remo e the current connection
components and nuts (if any) and connect
the new gas supply accordingly. In all
conditions, all components used in gas
connections should be appro ed by local
and/or international authorities. In all gas
connections, refer to the “Assembly of
gas supply and leakage check” clause
explained before.
2.5. Electrical Connection and Safety
A WARNING: The electrical connection
of this appliance should be carried out
by an authorised ser ice person or
qualified electrician, according to the

Manual ignition of t e gas burners
If your appliance is not equipped with an
ignition aid or if there is a failure in the
electric network, follow the procedures
listed below:
For ob burners: Push in the knob of
the burner you wish to ignite and keep it
pressed while turning anticlockwise so that
the knob is in the 'max' position. Continue
pressing the knob and hold a lighted match,
taper or other manual aid to the upper
circumference of the burner. Mo e the
ignition source away from the burner as
soon as you see a stable flame.
Flame safety device
Hob burners
Hobs equipped with flame failure de ice
pro ide security in case of accidentally
extinguished flame. If such a case occurs,
the de ice will block the burners gas
lines and will a oid any accumulation of
unburned gas. Wait 90 seconds before re
igniting an extinguished gas burner.
4.2. Control of Hob
Control of t e ob burner
The knob has 3 positions: Off (0), maximum
(big flame symbol) and minimum (small
flame symbol). Ignite the burner with the
knob in the maximum position; you can
then adjust the flame length between the
maximum and minimum positions. Do
not operate the burners when the knob is
between the maximum and off position.
After ignition, isually check the flames. If
you see a yellow tip, lifted or unstable
flames, turn the gas flow off, then check
the assembly of burner caps and crowns
once they ha e cooled. Make sure there in
no liquid in the burner cups. If the burner
flames go out accidently, turn the burners
off, entilate the kitchen with fresh air and
wait at least 90 seconds before attempting
re-ignition.
To turn the hob burners off, Turn the hob
burner knob clockwise so that the hob
burner knob shows the '0' position or the
marker on the hob burner knob points
upwards.
Your hob has burners of different diameters.
You will find that the most economical
way of using gas is to choose the correct
size gas burner for your cooking pan size
and to bring the flame to the minimum
position once boiling point is reached. We
recommend that you always co er your
cooking pan.
