Description EN 2.3 Available accessories WOK ring Useful when using a wok. The accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation. Original supplied and optional accessories can be requested to Authorised Assistance Centres. Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer.
Use 3 Use 3.1 Instructions Improper use Danger of burns • Make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their seats with their respective burner caps. • Oils and fats could catch fire if overheated. Be very careful. • Do not leave the appliance unattended during cooking operations where fats or oils could be released. • Do not spray any spray products near the appliance. • Do not touch the appliance's heating elements when it is running. Leave them to cool before cleaning.
Use All the appliance’s control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner ignites. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to and wait 60 seconds before trying again.
Use Correct positioning of the grids Under the grids there are silicone rests with a hole that must be centred onto the matching fixing pins on the surface. Make sure that the grids are simply centred on their respective burners, without forcing the burners to be raised or tilted. If they are, repeat the positioning procedure. If you find that a pan is particularly unstable, make sure that the grids have not been positioned incorrectly. 14 Ring reducers The ring reducers must be rested on the hob grid.
Practical tips for using the hob Using a griddle For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle: • The griddle can be pre-heated with the burner on maximum power for no more than 10 minutes.
Cleaning and maintenance 4 Cleaning and maintenance 4.2 Cleaning the appliance 4.1 Instructions To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first. Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets for cleaning the appliance. • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).
Cooking hob grids Igniters and thermocouples Remove the grids and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob. For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.
Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Clearances above and around domestic appliances This appliance must be installed by an authorised person in accordance with this instruction manual, AS/NZS 5601.1 – Gas installations (installation and pipe sizing), local gas fitting regulations, local electrical regulations, Building Code of Australia and any other government authority. Requirements 1.
3. Additional requirements for Freestanding and Elevated Cooking Appliaces – (Measurements D & E) Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than 200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet. See insets above. 5.2 Safety instructions Notes Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperatureresistant (>90°C), otherwise they might warp over time. 1.
Installation 5.3 Section cut from the countertop The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore 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 (>90°C). 5.
Over empty kitchen unit or drawers Fixing brackets If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges under the hob, a double-layer wooden base must be installed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must only be possible to remove the double-layer base using suitable equipment. Screw the fixing brackets (A) into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure.
Installation With steel hob To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the work surface, put the insulating seal provided in position before assembly. 1. Refer to the dimensions in the figure, bearing in mind that the long front side must brush against the hole. 2. Use light pressure to make the seal stick to the edge around the hole cut in the worktop. 3. Carefully trim the surplus edge away from the seal. 5.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BSP connector at the inlet is recommended and the gas supply line to the appliance must be of adequate length to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for service or disconnection and be: 1. annealed copper pipe or; 2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class “B”, 10 mm diameter.
Installation Room ventilation 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 hob shall be installed in rooms with natural ventilation, as required by Standards regulations AS/NZS5601. When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity.
Installation If other types of gas are to be used, the nozzles must be replaced and the primary air must be adjusted. In order to replace the nozzles and adjust the burners, the hob top must be removed. 3. Pull the knobs and the knob bezels upwards to remove them. EN 5.6 Adaptation to different types of gas Removing the hob top 1. Remove the grids from the hob. Between knob and the knob bezel there is a spring that is not shown in the figure. 4.
Installation 5. Remove the fastening plates and the hob top. 3. Adjust the air flow by moving the air regulator B to obtain the distance D given in the corresponding table. 4. After adjusting each burner, reassemble the appliance correctly. Adjusting the minimum setting for natural or town gas Replacing nozzles 1. Unscrew screw A and push air regulator B as far as it will go. 2.
Adjusting the minimum setting for LPG Lubricating the gas cocks Tighten the screw located at the side of the tap rod clockwise all the way. Over time the gas taps may become difficult to turn and get blocked. Clean them internally and replace the lubrication grease. Following adjustment to a gas other than the one originally set in the factory, replace the gas setting label on the appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. The label is inserted inside the nozzle pack (where present).
Installation 5.7 Electrical connection Power voltage Danger of electrocution • Have the electrical connection performed by authorised technical personnel. • Use personal protective equipment. • The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards. • Disconnect the mains power supply. • Do not pull the cable to remove the plug. • Use cables withstanding a temperature of at least 90°C. • The tightening torque of the screws of the terminal supply wires must be 1.
Installation EN 5.8 For the installer • The plug must be accessible after installation. Do not bend or trap the power cable. • The appliance must be installed according to the installation diagrams. • Do not try to unscrew or force the threaded elbow of the fitting. You may damage this part of the appliance, which may void the manufacturer’s warranty. • Use soap and water to check for gas leaks on all connections. DO NOT use naked flames to find leaks.
