Instructions for the installer Bracket ‘A’ in the 1st slot Bracket ‘A’ in the 2nd slot Bracket ‘B’ 2.2 Fixing 90 cm hobs on 60 cm base unit If a 90 cm hob is to be bracketed to a 60 cm base unit, 2 central brackets “A” have to be used in addition to the side brackets “B” as shown in the drawing below. The gas connection also has to be turned through 90° in relation to the original position(see paragraph 4 GAS CONNECTION).
Instructions for the installer 3 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 4 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 4.1 Connection to LPG Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the tank according to the provisions of standards regulations in force. Make sure that feed pressure conforms to the levels shown in the table in paragraph “5.3 Regulation for LPG”. 4.2 Ventilation of rooms The hob may be installed only in rooms with permanent ventilation, as required by standards regulations in force.
Instructions for the installer 5 ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS Before performing any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the appliance from the electrical socket. The hob has been inspected for G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. For functioning with other types of gas the nozzles must be replaced and the primary air adjusted. To replace the nozzles and regulate the burners, you have to remove the top as described in the following paragraph. 5.1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 5.2 1. 2. 3.
Instructions for the installer 5.3 Regulation for LPG Check that the connection has been made as described in the “Gas connection” section. Undo the screw “D” and push the air regulator “C” fully down. Use a spanner to remove the nozzles “B” and fit those of suitable type following the instructions given in the tables for bottled gas G30/G31 – 28/37 mbar. The nozzle must not be tightened to a torque of over 3 Nm.
Instructions for the installer 5.4 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 “5.3 Regulation for LPG”, but choose the nozzles and regulate the primary air for natural gas, as shown in the following table and in paragraph “5.5 Regulation of primary air”.

Instructions for the user or fish. 5 Strong For roasts, steaks and large boiled joints. 6 Very strong To boil large amounts of water, to fry. WARNING When switching on the electric element for the first time, or if the electric element has not been used for a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried out by placing the electric element on position 1 for 30 minutes.
Instructions for the user 8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance. Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device. 8.1 Cleaning Clean the cooking top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it has cooled. 8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which do not contain abrasive substances or chlorinebased acid substances.
Instructions for the user 8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher. In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and panstands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel’s shine. Your local authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.
