Instructions for the user 4. USING THE HOB 4.1 Lighting the hob burners Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. H A A The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device.
Instructions for the user 4.2 Practical tips for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see paragraph “4.3 Pan Diameter”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over.

Instructions for the installer 6.2 Fixing to the electric model support structure Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top surface of the counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the rear edge. The lower part of the casing must be fully accessible after the appliance has been installed.
Instructions for the installer Obstructions: location of gas and electric connectors (measured in mm). IMPORTANT: if the appliance is mounted on a unit, make sure that a separating shelf is installed, as shown in the figure. However, if the appliance is on an oven installed under the hob, there is no need to install a separating shelf. If installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan.
Instructions for the installer 6.3 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 at the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must be of the same type and must conform to the applicable legislation on electrical installations. Make sure that the supply line is suitably earthed.
Instructions for the installer 6.4 Ventilation in the premises. The room containing the appliance should have a permanent air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow needed for the regular combustion of gas and the necessary air change in the room itself. The air vents, protected by grills, must be the right size to comply with current regulations and positioned so that no part of them is obstructed, not even partially.
Instructions for the installer 6.6 Gas connection Connection to the gas supply network can be made using a rigid copper hose or a flexible steel hose with a continuous wall and in compliance with the guidelines established by the applicable standard. Once the operation is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution; never use a flame. The hob is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar. To set it up for supply using other types of gas, see “3.
Instructions for the installer 7. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS Before carrying out the following operations, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
