Electrical connection
Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are
designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage
and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located
on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the
cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to
be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical
connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out
separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make
extracting the oven easier.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains
Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load
indicated on the data plate.
The appliance must be directly connected to the mains
using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact
opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the
mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge
indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations
(the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-
breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with
surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.
! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been made and that it is compliant with
safety regulations.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with
the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.
• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated
on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension
cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply
or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current national
regulations. Before carrying out the connection, make sure
the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you wish to
use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated
in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.
! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle
specifications”). This will ensure the safe operation and
longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in
such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the
appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the
appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order
to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after
rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with appliance). The
gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical
male attachment.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a
threaded attachment
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical
male attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never
longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once
connection has been carried out, make sure that the
flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is
not compressed.
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current
national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe
fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a
flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than
default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of the
hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should be
replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their
seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see
table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).
