Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective materials,
which were put on in the factory.
Hob burners control knobs
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:
 there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
To light a burner, push in the relevant knob and
turn it counterclockwise to "maximum position".
After lighting the flame, 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.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1, lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
•Always turn the flame down or put it out before taking
the pans off the burner.
Manual switch-on (in case of interruption of the

Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (fig. 2 -a).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or
oil, since these types of foodstuff can result
in a fire, if over-heated.
Use of electric plates
To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.
The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat
The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used
for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.
Using the plates correctly
When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a
thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure
total contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect
conduction (Fig. 2-b).
Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the
even distribution of heat and the saving of energy.
Cooking time is also lengthier.
As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be
slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.
Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch
off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The
heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the
food and save energy.
When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.
Fig. 2 - a
Fig. 2 - b
Rapid plates
The rapid plates are indicated by a red dot, and will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red
dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during
use and even disappear completely after a period of time.
This will not affect the performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
used for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.

Before the First Use of the Appliance
Before using the appliance remove all
packaging, including the advertising labels
and any protective film.
When using the hob for the first time:
1) place on all the plates a pan filled with some water;
2) switch the plates on for about 10 minutes at
“maximum” position until water inside the pans boils;
3) then, turn the control knob to “minumum” and allow
the plates to run for approximately 20 minutes;
4) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, the plates may smoke a little and
an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is
absolutely normal and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the plates to
cool down, then clean them with a soft cloth soaked in
warm water.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
General cleaning
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel
wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent
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.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
Pan supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
Ignition candle
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" and a metal electrode (fig.1-lett. C). Keep these
components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
Cleaning of the hotplates
Spills on the hotplates should be removed using warm
water and a soft cloth.
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel (while the plates are still warm).
Periodic Maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.

Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in
stainless steel in compliance with the regulation in force.
If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not
come in contact with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is
combinated with an oven.
IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a saving
of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage
pressure of the appliance must correspond to the
recommended values.
The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive
ramp by means of a threaded nut GJ 1/2". Interpose the
sealing between the components as shown in fig. 4.
Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in
the required direction and tighten everything.
Connection using flexible non
metal pipes
When the connection can be easily inspected in its full
extent, there is the chance to use a flexible pipe
according to the rules in force. The flexible pipe must be
tightly fixed using clamps according to the rules in force.
Natural gas : use the pipe fitting «D» (Fig. 4).
LPG : use the rubber pipe holder «E».
Always insert the gasket «B». Then proceed with the
gas connection.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for use in such
a way that:
- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other than
room temperature, higher than 30°C; if the flexible
pipe, to reach the cock, must run behind the range,
it must be installed as shown in Fig. 4;
- it is no longer than 1500 mm;
- it shows no throttles;
- it is not subject to traction or torsion;
- it doesn't get in touch with cutting edges or corners;
- it can be easily inspected in order to check its
condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consists
in checking that:
- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings both
on the end parts and on its full extent;
- the material is not hardened, but shows its normal
elasticity;
- the fastening clamps are not rusted;
- expiry term is not due.
If one or more abnormalities are seen, do not repair the
pipe, but replace it.

• Remove the burner's caps and crowns.
• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and remove the
injectors (Fig. 7), and replace them with the ones
required for the type of gas in use (see table 2).
• Reassemble the parts, following the same procedu-
re backwards.
• Replace the rating label (placed near the gas supply
pipe) with the relevant one for the new type of gas
supply. You can find this label in the package of the
injectors supplied with the appliance.
Should the feeding gas pressure be different or variable
compared with the required pressure, an appropriate
pressure adjuster must be fitted on the gas supply pipe,
in compliance with the rules in force.
Adjustment of minimum level
To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as
follows:
•Light the burner.
•Turn the knob on the minimum position.
•Remove the knob.
•With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw
(see Fig. 8). If changing from natural gas to LPG,
completely tighten clockwise the screw, until a
small regular flame is obtained. If changing from
LPG to natural gas unscrew about 1/4 turn the by-
pass screw, until a small regular flame is obtained.
•Finally check the flame does not go out when
quickly turning the knob from the maximum position
to the minimum position.
This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob
has been positioned or built in the working top.
