Operation
To light a burner:
zPush in the relevant knob and turn it
anticlockwise to "maximum position".
zAt the same time, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. D) to be heated
and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
zThen, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” (Fig. 1, lett.
A, B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
z.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
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
Triple crown burner 160 mm 260 mm
Large (rapid) 160 mm 240 mm
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 mm
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm
This hob is provided with a safety device,
which will stop the gas flow if the flame
accidentally goes off during cooking.
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 Service
Centre.
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.

Before 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 removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added.
Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Pan Supports
When washing the pan supports by hand, take care
when drying them as the enamelling process
occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay,
remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot
soapy water, and remove 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 remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode (fig. 1 - letter C).
Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult
lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are
not obstructed.

Installation
Cut Out Size
The dimensions of the cut-out are given in figure
3.
A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Adjustable joint
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 figure 2.
A drop of paint at both edges of the "L" joint (C) will
evidence 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
moved by the vibrations 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.

Building in
Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed above 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 avoid 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
removable to allow easy access if technical
assistance is needed. The space behind the
kitchen unit ("b") can be used for connections.
Building over a kitchen unit with
oven
If the hob is built into a kitchen unit with an oven
underneath, the recess must have the dimensions
shown in diagrams 2 and 3, and should also incor-
porate suitable oven crosspiece supports to ansure
an efficient cooling air circulation.
Diagrams 4 and 5 give two building-in examples.
The electric connection of the hob and the
oven should be carried out separately, for
electrical safety reasons to permit easy
extraction of the oven from the front part of
the kitchen unit.

Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:
• put the seals supplied with the hob, on
the edges of the cut out: place them at
8 mm from the front and rear edge and
at 50 mm from the side edges, as
shown in figure 4, taking care that the
seals meet without overlapping;
• place the hob in the cut out, taking care
that it is centred;
• fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps
and screws, as shown in figure 5. When
the screws have been tightened, the
excess seal can be removed.
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which
prevents the ingress of liquids.
