Lighting the burners
To obtain a flame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking
utensil on the pan stand
To light a burner, proceed as follow: for version with lighting integrated in
the control knob push the knob of the burner fully down and turn it
anticlockwise to the “maximum flow”setting symbol, or press the button if
the appliance has individual lighting.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds: this
time is necessary to heat up the “thermocouple”(Fig.2) and activate the
safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.
Then check that the flame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the
flame as required.
In the instance of a power cut, place a flame near the burner and proceed as already
described.
If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the “burner cap”and
“flame cap”are correctly positioned.
To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the ●symbol.
Before removing pans from the burners, always lower or turn off the flame.
For correct use of the hob
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency: Use only flat-bottomed pans of
dimensions suitable for the burners as shown in the table below. Also, as soon as a
liquid comes to the boil take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep
it boiling.
Burner minimum diameter maximum diameter
Large(rapid) 180mm 220mm
Medium(semi-rapid) 120mm 200mm
Small(Auxiliary) 80mm 160mm
Triple Flame 220mm 260mm

Instructions for the installation technician
CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms with
permanent ventilation to local standards.
Installation of the appliance and its connection to the electrical mains must
only be carried out by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. 11

Before any procedure, it is important to check that the appliance is
DISCONNECTED from the electrical mains. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for any damage arising from installation in breach of the
regulations in force or from failure to comply with the accident prevention
regulations.
Installation premises
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the
gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room
directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an
unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each kW of power (see total power
in kw on the appliance nameplate).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be
obstructed from inside or outside, or constructed close to
the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side
opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it
is not feasible to provide these openings in the room where
the appliance is installed, the necessary air may be taken
from an adjacent room, provided that:
·this room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
·this room has ventilation;
·the ventilation between the room where the appliance is
installed and the adjacent room has openings.
Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases
through hoods connected directly to flues or the outdoors.
If it is not possible to install the hood (fig. B) an electric
fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of
the room, provided it is possible for the ventilation opening
to be increased in proportion to the delivery rate of the fan (fig. C).
For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must guarantee an
hourly air exchange of 3-5 times its
volume. In both instances, the use of flues already used by other appliances to
discharge the flue gases is forbidden.
12

Connection to the gas supply
The gas connection must be made in accordance with the
local standards. When installing,fit a safety tap at the end
of the pipeline. The appliance leaves the factory tested and
set for the type of gas indicated on the plate inside the
bottom guard close to the gas connection pipe. Make sure
that the type of gas to be supplied to the appliance is the
same as that shown on the plate. Otherwise, follow the
instructions provided in the “Adapting to different types of
gas”section.
For maximum efficiency and minimum consumption, make
sure that the gas supply pressure complies with the values
shown in the gas used is different from that specified (or
variable) a suitable pressure regulator must be installed on
the supply pipeline.
The union must be fitted on the end of the gas train. Complete with GJ1/2＂threaded
nut, fitting the gasket between the components as shown in the illustration. The
gaskets must comply with the local standards. Screw the parts together without
forcing, fit the union so that it points in the direction required then tighten all parts.
Connection
Make the connection to the gas system using a rigid metal pipe and regulation unions,
or with a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard. If metal hoses are
used, take care that they do not come into contact with mobile parts and are not
crushed. This must also be checked if the hob is to be combined with an oven.
The gas intake connection of the appliance has a “male thread.”
When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the
appliance.
When the installation is complete, always check that all the unions are
absolutely tight using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this
check.
13

Adapting to the different types of gas
Changing the nozzles
1) Remove the pan standee.
2) Remove the burner caps and flame caps from the burners.
3) Use a size 7 socket wrench to unscrew and remove the
nozzles, replacing them with those corresponding to the
type of gas to be used (see the table ).
4) Reassemble the parts, reversing the operations described
above.
5) Then replace the setting data (close to the mains gas
connection)with the one for the new type of gas if the pressure of the gas used is
different from that specified(or variable) a suitable piped gas pressure regulator
complying with the standard must be installed on the supply pipeline.
Setting the minimum level
1) Light the burner as already described.
2) Turn the tap to the minimum flame position.
3) Remove the control knobs.
4) Use a thin straight screwdriver to turn the by-pass pin located
next to the tap rod (see fig. B).For LPG, turn the by-pass pin
fully clockwise.
The result should be a small, homogeneous flame which is
uniform around the entire burner ring. For the dual Triple A
Flame version see fig. A. by-pass 1 central burner, by-pass 2
both burners.
5) Finally, check that the burner does not go out when the tap is
turned quickly from the maximum to the minimum position.

These hobs are designed for installation in fitted kitchen units up to 600mm deep with
suitable characteristics.
Any cabinet side panels taller than the height of the hob itself must be at least 150mm
away from the opening into which the hob is inserted.
The dimensions of the hob and the installation opening are shown in the illustration.
Insertion and fixing
Before inserting the hob in the installation
opening, place the special gasket around the
bottom edge of the hob.
It is important to fix this gasket evenly,
without gaps or overlapping, to prevent liquid
from seeping underneath the hob.
1) Remove the pan stands and the burner caps and turn the hob upside down, taking
care not to damage the ignition plugs and the thermocouples.
2) Place the gasket around the bottom edge of the hob as shown in the illustration on
the right.
3) Place the hob into the cabinet.
4) Loosen the 8 pcs of screws at two sides of the chassis.
5) Adjust the flexible clip to connect the side cabnet well and then tighten up these 8
pcs of screws.
16

Installation options
On base cabinet with door
When constructing the cabinet, suitable precautions must be
taken to prevent contact with the casing of the hob, which
becomes very hot during operation. The recommended method
for overcoming this problem is illustrated in fig.1.
The panel underneath the hob must be easily removable to allow
the hob to be locked in position and released in case of servicing work.
On base cabinet with oven
The installation compartment
must have the dimensions
shown in figures 2 and 3 and
must have supports to allow
satisfactory ventilation. Two
possible methods for avoiding
overheating are illustrated in
figures 3 and 4. The electrical
connections of the hob and
oven must be made separately
both for electrical reasons and
to simplify removal of the oven
through the front of the
cabinet.
Wall cabinets or extractor
hoods must be at least 650 mm
above the hob.
