INSTALLATION Installation, adjustment of controls and maintenance must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Incorrect installation may cause damage to persons, animals or property for which the Manufacturer will not be considered responsible. During the life of the system, the automatic safety or regulating devices on the appliance may only be modified by the manufacturer or by his duly authorized dealer.
Sealing the Cooktop The cooktop has a special seal that prevents liquid from getting into the cabinet below. Follow these instructions exactly in order to apply this seal correctly: Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Turn the cooktop over and correctly position seal "E" (Fig. 3) under the edge of the cooktop itself so that the outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the cooktop.
Gas Connection Natural Gas and Propane Gas Natural gas installations require the connection of a gas regulator to the cooktop. You will find this regulator among the accessories supplied with the appliance. Assemble the regulator (noting the direction of gas flow) and transition pieces (supplied) in accordance with the figure below. The transition piece on the supply side of the regulator must be provided by the installer.
When the appliance is connected to electrical power by a socket: • Fit a standard plug suited to the load indicated on the data label to the cable. • Fit the wires following Fig. 5, noting the following correspondences: Letter L (live) = wire Letter N (neutral) = wire Ground symbol = green or yellow-green wire • Never use adapters or shunts for connection since these could create false contacts and lead to dangerous overheating. • The outlet must be accessible after the cooktop is built in. Fig.
ADJUSTMENTS Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical power source before making any adjustments. All seals must be replaced by the technician when any adjustments are completed. Taps "Reduced rate" adjustment: 1. Switch on the burner and turn the corresponding knob to the "Reduced rate" position (small flame icon, Fig. 8, page 10). 2. Remove knob "M" (Fig. 6), which is simply pressed onto its support rod. 3. Insert a small screwdriver "D" into hole "C" (Fig.
CONVERSIONS Replacing Nozzles The burners can be adapted to suit different types of gas by fitting the nozzles that correspond to the gas used. To do this, it is necessary to remove the burner heads and use a straight key "B", to unscrew the nozzle "A" (see Fig. 7) and replace it with a nozzle corresponding to the gas used. Fig. 7 Be sure the nozzle is seated tightly.
USING THE COOKTOP Lighting the burners A diagram is screened beside each knob on the control panel of your cooktop. This diagram indicates to which burner the knob in question corresponds. After having opened the gas main or bottled gas tap, light the burners as described below: The knobs of the burners are equipped with a safety cut-off device. They must be turned in a counter-clockwise direction until they reach the full-on position (large flame icon, Fig. 8) and come to a stop. Now push down on the knob.
WARNINGS: • Burners will only ignite when the corresponding knob has been set to the Fullon position (large flame icon, Fig. 8). • Matches can be used to ignite the burners during a power outage, but use caution. • Never leave the appliance unattended when the burners are being used. Make sure there are no children in the vicinity. In particular, make sure that the pan handles are correctly positioned.
CLEANING CAUTION: Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect it from the gas and electricity supplies. If you wish to maintain the shine of the ceramic surface, treat the glass with a silicon-based film product before use to protect the surface against water and dirt. This protective film is not durable, so it is advised to repeat the application of the product frequently. It is very important to clean the cooktop every time you use it, while it is still warm.
The enamaled grids, enameled covers "A", "B" and "C", and burner heads "M" (see Figs. 11 and 11a) must also be washed and the ignition elements "AC" and safety cut-off sensors "TC" (see Fig. 11b) must be cleaned. Do not wash them in the dishwasher. Cleaning operations must be carried out when the cooktop and components are not hot. The use of metal scouring pads, powder abrasives and corrosive sprays must be avoided.
SERVICING Always disconnect the appliance from the electric and gas mains before proceeding with any servicing operation. Replacing Components To replace the components housed inside the appliance, remove the trivets and the burners from the upper part of the cooktop. Remove the fixing screws "V" of the burner (Fig. 12) and the knobs by pressure from the hands, in order to take off the appliance.
