burner;
zthen, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
Ifyoucannotlighttheflameevenafterseveralattempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see Fig. 1 - letterAand
B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
Whenswitchingonthemains,afterinstallationor
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generatortobeactivated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
theburnerused (see table).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrungoutinwarmwatertowhichalittlewashingupliquid
hasbeenadded. Avoidtheuseof thefollowing:
- householddetergentandbleaches;
- impregnatedpadsunsuitablefornon-sticksaucepans;

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and
metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these
components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
Cast Iron Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports.

Important safety requirements
This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas
Safety(InstallationandUse)Regulations(CurrentEdition)
andtheIEEWiring Regulations (Current Edition).
Provision for ventilation
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installed in a
room of volume less than 5 m3an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm2is required. If it is installed in a room of
volume between 5 m3and 10 m3an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm2is required, while if the volume exceeds
11 m3noair vent is required.
However,ifthe room has a doorwhich opens directly to
the outside no air vent is required even if the volume is
between5m3and 11 m3.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room,shouldbeconsultedtodeterminetherequisiteair
ventrequirements.
Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or
bedsittingroom, but not in abathroom,showerroom or
garage.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that
thereisaminimum distance of 55 mm betweentherear
edge of the hob and the wall.
A minimum distance of 100 mm must be left between
the side edges of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or
walls.
Theminimumdistancecombustiblematerialcan befitted
above the hob in line with the edges of the hob is 400
mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm a space of 50 mm must
beallowed from the edges ofthehob.
Theminimumdistancecombustiblematerialcan befitted
directly above the hob is 700 mm.

Installation
IMPORTANT: This hob must be installed by a
competentpersontotherelevantGasStandards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
competentperson.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructionsincorporatedin this book be ignored.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Oncethehobhasbeeninstalled,it is importantto
removeany protective materials, whichwereput
on in the factory.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2"
threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so that the washer
is fitted between the components as shown in the
diagram. Screw the parts together without using
excessiveforce.
Gas Connection
Connectiontothe gas supply should bewith either rigid
or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to R
1/2" (1/2 BSP male thread).
Whenthefinalconnectionhasbeen made, it is essential
that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and
installation. Ensure that the main connection pipe does
not exert any strain on the hob.
A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
theshoulderontheend of the thread, fitted to the
hobconnectingpipe.
Failuretoensurethe correct assembly will cause
leakageofgas.

Conversion from LPG to Natural Gas
IMPORTANT
Thereplacement/conversionofthegashobshouldonly
beundertaken by a competent person.
Itisimportantto note that this model is designedforuse
with LPG gas but can be converted for use with Natural
gasprovidingthecorrect injectors are fitted and thegas
rate is adjusted to suit.
Method
• Ensure that the gas taps are in the 'OFF' position
• Isolate the hob from the electrical supply
• Removeallpansupports,burnercaps, rings, crowns
andcontrol knobs.
• Withtheaidofa7mmboxspannertheburnerinjectors
can then be unscrewed and replaced by the
appropriateNatuaralgasinjectors.
To adjust the gas rate
To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as
follows:
•Lighttheburner.
•Turn the knob on the minimum position.
•Removetheknob.
•With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw.
If changing from LPG to natural gas unscrew about
1/4turntheby-passscrew,until a small regular flame
is obtained.
If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely
tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular
flameis obtained.
•Finallycheckthe flame does not gooutwhen quickly
turning the knob from the maximum position to the
minimumposition.
Thisprocedure can easilybe carried out,anyhow the
hob has been positioned or built in the working top.
