Introduction 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND PROPER USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE AND THEREFORE MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE COOKING HOB. WE ADVISE READING THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN BEFORE USING THE COOKING HOB. ALSO KEEP THE SERIES OF NOZZLES SUPPLIED. INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
Introduction DO NOT PUT PANS WITHOUT PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND FLAT BOTTOMS ON THE COOKING HOB GRIDS. DO NOT USE RECIPIENTS OR GRIDDLE PLATES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE EXTERNAL PERIMETER OF THE HOB. THE HOB IS TO BE USED BY ADULTS ONLY. DO NOT LET UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN PLAY WITH THE HOB. REPLACED APPLIANCES MUST BE TAKEN TO A SPECIAL GARBAGE COLLECTION CENTRE.
Instructions for the installer 2. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with applicable regulations in force. 2.1 Positioning The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C). 2.1.
Instructions for the installer 2.2 Electrical connection Make sure that the voltage and capacity of the power line conform to the data shown on the plate located under the casing. Do not remove this plate for any reason. The plug on the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must be the same type and conform to the current electrical system regulations. Check that the power line is adequately grounded.
Instructions for the installer 2.3 Ventilation of rooms The hob may be installed only in rooms with permanent ventilation, as required by standards regulations in force. The room in which the hob is installed must have sufficient air flow to satisfy the requirements of normal gas combustion and of necessary air exchange in the room. The air intakes, protected by screens, must be appropriately sized (regulations in force) and placed so as not to be blocked in any way.
Instructions for the installer 2.5 Gas connection Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force. To facilitate connection, fitting A on the rear of the appliance may be adjusted laterally. For this purpose, loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting A to the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut B (tightness is ensured by a biconical brass ring).
Instructions for the installer 3. ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device. The cooking hob is inspection-tested for use with G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbars. If used with other types of gas, you have to replace the nozzles and regulate the primary air to the burners. Then regulate the minimum flame on the gas taps. For nozzle replacement and burner adjustment you must raise the cooking hob as described in the following paragraph.
Instructions for the installer 3.2 Regulation for LPG Loosen screw A and push air regulator B to the bottom. With a 7 mm wrench, remove nozzle C and replace it with the proper one (follow the instructions on the reference tables for the type of gas to be used). The torque wrench setting of the nozzle must not exceed 3 Nm. Regulate the air by sliding regulator B until reaching distance “X” shown in the table in paragraph “3.4 Regulation of primary air”. Lock regulator B by tightening screw A.
Instructions for the installer 3.3 Regulation for natural gas The hob has been inspected for G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. To allow the unit to work with this type of gas, perform the same operations described in paragraph “3.2 Regulation for LPG”, but choose the nozzles and regulate the primary air for natural gas, as shown in the following table and in paragraph “3.4 Regulation of primary air”.
Instructions for the installer 4. FINAL OPERATIONS Having carried out the above adjustments, reassemble the appliance following, backwards, the instructions in paragraph “3.1 Removing the top”. After adjustment to a different kind of gas from the one for which the cooker has been tested, replace the plate inside the heating compartment with one corresponding to the new kind of gas. This plate can be obtained from your nearest Authorised Assistance Centre. 4.
Instructions for the user 5. USE OF THE COOKING HOB 5.1 Burner knob To light the flame, press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Adjust the flame by turning the knob to the area comprised between maximum and minimum marks. To turn off, set the knob to either or 0. 5.2 Lighting the burners Before lighting the burners make sure that the flame cap crowns are properly fitted into their seats and equipped with the corresponding caps, and check that niche A is aligned with pin B.
Instructions for the user 5.3 Practical advice for using the burners For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph “5.4 Diameter of containers”). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob.
Instructions for the user 6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device. 6.1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 6.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
