Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carrie
out, you must DISCONNEC the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleane whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be remove 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 liqui
has been a e . Avoi the use of the following:
- househol etergent an bleaches;
- impregnate pa s unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pa s;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Shoul the hob top become heavily soile , it is
recommen e that a cleaning pro uct such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Frien is use .
The urners
The burner caps an crowns can be remove for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps an crowns using hot soapy water,
an remove marks with a mil paste cleaner. A well
moistene soap impregnate steel wool pa can be use
with caution, if the marks are particularly ifficult to
remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe ry with a soft cloth.
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.
ake care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liqui starts boiling, turn own the
flame so that it will barely keep the liqui
simmering.
If the control knobs become ifficult to turn, please
contact your local Zanussi Service Force Centre.

uCheck the mains fuse has not blown
uCheck the burner cap an crown have been
replace correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
uCheck the main jet is not blocke an the burner

Important safety requirements
This hob must be installe in accor ance with the Gas
Safety (Installation an Use) Regulations (Current
E ition) an the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current
E ition). Detaile recommen ations are containe in the
following British Stan ar s Co es Of Practice: B.S.
6172/ B.S. 5440, Part 2 an B.S. 6891 Current E itions.
The hob shoul not be installe in a be sitting room
with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installe in a
room of volume less than 5 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm2 is require . If it is installe in a room of
volume between 5 m3 an 10 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm2 is require , while if the volume excee s
11 m3 no air vent is require . However, if the room has a
oor which opens irectly to the outsi e no air vent is
require even if the volume is between 5 m3 an 11 m3.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current E ition, shoul be
consulte to etermine the requisite air vent
requirements.
Location
The hob may be locate in a kitchen, a kitchen/ iner or
be sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that
the e ges of the hob that are to be near either a si e or
rear wall have a minimum istance of 55 mm. between
the e ge of the hob an the wall.
The minimum istance combustible material can be
fitte above the hob is 400 mm. If it is fitte below 400
mm. a space of 50 mm. must be allowe from the e ges
of the hob. The minimum istance combustible material
can be fitte irectly above the hob is 700 mm. A
minimum istance of 100 mm. must be left between the
si e e ges of the hob an any a jacent cabinets or walls.

Installation
IMPOR AN : This hob must be installe by
qualified personnel to the relevant British
Stan ar s.
Any gas installation must be carrie out by a
registere CORGI installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, shoul
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporate in this book be ignore .
WHEN HE HOB IS FIRS INS ALLED
Once the hob has been installe , it is important to
remove any protective materials, which were put
on in the factory.
On the en of the shaft, which inclu es the G 1/2"
threa e elbow, a justment is fixe so that the washer
is fitte between the components as shown in the
iagram. Screw the parts together without using
excessive force.
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply shoul be with either rigi
or semi-rigi pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection shoul be suitable for connecting to R
1/2" (1/2 BSP male threa ).
When the final connection has been ma e, it is essential
that a thorough leak test is carrie out on the hob an
installation. Ensure that the main connection pipe oes
not exert any strain on the hob.
A) En of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoul er on the en of the threa , fitte to the
hob connecting pipe.
Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause
leakage of gas.

If the hob is to be installe above a cupboar or rawer it
will be necessary to fit a heat resistant boar below the
base of the hob on the un ersi e of the work surface.
It is also recommen e to carry out the electrical
connection to the hob as shown in iagrams 1 an 2.
F
Fitting the Hob into the worktop
Carry out the buil ing in of the hob as follows:
 put the seals supplie with the hob, on the
e ges of the cut out: place them exactly on
the front an rear e ge an at 50 mm. from
the si e e ges, as shown in the iagram,
taking care that the seals meet without
overlapping;
 place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it
is centre ;
 fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps an
screws, as shown in the iagram. When the
screws have been tightene , the excess seal
can be remove .
The e ge of the hob forms a ouble seal which prevents
the ingress of liqui s.
uilding over a kitchen unit with
door
Proper arrangements must be taken in esigning the
furniture unit, in or er to avoi any contact with the bottom
of the hob which can be heate when it is operate . The
recommen e solution is shown in iagram 3.
The panel fitte un er the hob ("a") shoul be easily
removable to allow easy access if technical assistance
is nee e . The space behin the kitchen unit ("b") can

regulations.
HIS HOB MUS BE EAR HED.
he manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
his hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V
50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that in icate on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is locate on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attache on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplie with a 3 core flexible supply cor
incorporating a 3amp plug fitte . In the event of having to
change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approve (BS 1362) fuse
must be use .
Shoul the plug nee to be replace for any reason, the
wires in the mains lea are coloure in accor ance with
the following co e:
Green an Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
 Connect the green an yellow (earth) wire to
the terminal in the plug which is marke with
the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or coloure
green an yellow.
 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marke with the letter 'N'
or coloure black.
 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in
the plug which is marke with the letter 'L' or
coloure re .
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray stran s
of wire present an the cor clamp must be secure over
the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is
a seriuos safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that
the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a ouble pole switch between the hob
an the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap
of 3 mm. between the switch contacts an of a type
suitable for the require loa in compliance with the
current electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow an green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

Fault Finding
Preliminary Electrical Systems
Check
A. EAR H CON INUI Y CHECK - Appliance must
be electrically isconnecte - meter set on W
(Ohms) x 1 scale an a just zero if necessary.
a) Test lea s from any appliance earth point to earth
pin on plug. Resistance shoul be less than
0.1 W (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity
an all contacts are clean an tight.
B. INSULA ION CHECK - Appliance electrically
isconnecte , all switches ON.
a) meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test lea s from L to N in appliance terminal
block. If meter rea s «0» then there is a short
circuit.
b) meter set on W (Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with lea s from L to E. If meter rea s
less than ¥ (infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Shoul it be foun that the fuse has faile
but no fault is in icate - a etaile continuity check
(i.e. by isconnecting an checking each
component) is require to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault coul occur as a result of
local burning/arcing but no fault coul be foun un er
test. However a etaile visual inspection shoul
reveal evi ence of burning aroun the fault.
