Installation
Any gas installation must be carried out by
qualified personnel, and in accordance with existing
rules and regulations.
The relevant instructions are to be found in the
second section of this manual.
Please, ensure that, once the appliance is
installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer
in the event of a breakdown.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is important
to remove any protective materials, which were
put on in the factory.
THE HOB LID
In order to make the appliance match with the
kitchen design, a lid can be fitted on the hob.
- The lid (a ailable on request) is meant to a oid dust
to settle on the hob, when it is closed, and to collect
splashes of oil or fat, when it is open. Do not use it for
any other purpose.
- Always wipe off any splash of liquid before opening
the lid.
- Always clean the lid from cooking residues before
opening it or taking it off.
WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when
overheated. Always ensure all the burners are
off before closing it.

4
efore any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob
from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage
can be remo ed more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe o er the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added. A oid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain remo ers.
Should the hob top become hea ily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
an Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them
by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally lea es rough edges. If necessay,
remo e stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be remo ed for cleaning.
Wash the burners caps and crowns using hot soapy
water, and remo e marks with a mild paste cleaner. A
well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be
used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remo e.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Operation
To light a burner:
- press the ignition pushbutton which is marked with a
little spark,
- then push down the rele ant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position.
- Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about
5 seconds,
- then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be acti ated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
F
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.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Ser ice Centre.

SOLUTION
uCheck that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on.
uCheck the mains fuse has not blown.
uCheck the burner cap and crown have been

Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed abo e a cupboard or drawer it
will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below the
base of the hob on the underside of the work surface.
Building over a kitchen unit with
door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to a oid any contact with the bottom
of the hob which can be heated when it is operated. The
recommended solution is shown in diagram 1.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
remo able to allow easy access if technical assistance
is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can
be used for connections. a) Remo able panel

IMPORTANT
This appliance must be installed by qualified
personnel.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
Gas Connection
On the end of the shaft (A) , which includes the GJ 1/2"
threaded elbow, an adjustable joint is fixed so that the
washer (B) is fitted between the components as shown
in the diagram.
A drop of paint at both edges of the "L" joint (C) will
e idence that the good seal of the connection has been
tested in the factory.
Before connecting the gas supply pipe to the joint (C),
the installer will ensure that the paint drop is unbroken
and the "L" connector has not been mo ed by the
ibrations during handling and transportation.
When the final connection has been 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.
