Instructions READ BEFORE USE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS only for South Africa GAS/ELECTRIC COOKERS Gas/Gas Cookers: All Cookers: • To avoid over heating when the oven or grill is being used the glass cover must always be up. • The glass cover may not be cooked on, or closed when the burners are in use and while they are still warm. • The gas oven and gas grill can not be used simultaneously.
Instructions FOR YOUR SAFETY EN IT • Note carefully that ventilation requirements indicated in the specific model instruction booklet. This information is vital for the safety of the occupants of the area in which the appliance is installed and used. • Never check for gas leaks with a naked flame. Always use a soapy water solution applied with a brush to the areas where you suspect there may be a gas leak. Do not use the appliance if you suspect a gas leak.
Instructions IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER 1 Instructions This appliance may only be installed by a registered LP Gas installer. All registered installers are issued with a card carrying their registration number. Ask to be shown the card before allowing the installation work to commence and make a note of the Installer QCC number. Upon completion of the installation, the installer is required to explain the operational details of the appliance together with the safety instructions.
• Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by unsupervised children. • Make sure that the flamespreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. • Be aware of how rapidly the cooking zones heat up. Do not place empty pans on the heat. Danger of overheating. • Fats and oils can catch fire if they overheat. Do not leave the appliance unattended while preparing foods containing oils or fats. If fats or oils catch fire, never put water on them.
Instructions • Do not spray any spray products near the oven. • Do not use plastic cookware or containers when cooking food. • Cooking vessels or griddle plates should be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. • All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. • If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob. • Take care not to spill acid substances such as lemon juice or vinegar on the hob. • Do not put empty pans or frying pans on switched on cooking zones.
• Installation using a hose must be carried out so that the length of the hose does not exceed 2 metres when fully extended for steel hoses and 1.5 metres for rubber hoses. • The hoses should not come into contact with moving parts and should not be crushed in any way. • If required, use a pressure regulator that complies with current regulations. • After carrying out any operation, check that the tightening torque of gas connections is between 10 Nm and 15 Nm.
Instructions 1.4 Appliance purpose • This appliance is intended for cooking food in the home environment. Every other use is considered improper. • The appliance is not designed to operate with external timers or with remote-control systems. 1.5 Disposal This appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste (Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/ 96/EC, 2003/108/EC).

Press and turn the knobs anticlockwise to the value to light the relative burners. Turn the knobs to the zone between the maximum and minimum setting to adjust the flame.
3 Use 3.2 First use 3.1 Instructions Improper use Danger of burns • Make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings 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.
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. Ring reducers The ring reducers must be rested on the hob grid.
Use EN IT Practical tips for using the hob For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that 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. Cookware diameters: • Semi-rapid: 10 - 24 cm. • Rapid: 12 - 24 cm.
Cleaning and maintenance 4 Cleaning and maintenance 4.1 Instructions Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets to clean 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). • Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
Cleaning and maintenance EN IT Igniters and thermocouples 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 Safety instructions Heat production during appliance operation Risk of fire • Check that the piece of furniture material is heat resistant. • Check that the piece of furniture has the required slots. L (mm) X (mm) Y (mm) 300 720 252 - 256 555 - 560 478 - 482 478 - 482 Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperatureresistant (>90°C), otherwise they might warp over time.
EN IT Installation opens on rear opens on bottom and on rear If installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan. Over empty kitchen unit or drawers 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 10 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.
Installation 5.4 Fixing brackets Screw the fixing brackets (A) into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure. Before installation, ensure the local gas distribution conditions (type and pressure) and the appliance adjustments are compatible. For Singapore market only: 5.5 Gas connection Gas leak Danger of explosion • After carrying out any operation, check that the tightening torque of gas connections is between 10 Nm and 15 Nm.
After having tightened the hose connector(s), push the gas hose 6 onto the hose connector and secure it with the clamp 5 that is compliant with the standard in force. Connection using a rubber hose complying with current standards is only permitted if the hose can be inspected along its entire length. The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LPG and 13 mm for Natural gas and City gas.
Installation Gas cylinder compartment Connection to LPG Use a pressure regulator and make the connection on the gas cylinder following the guidelines set out in the standards in force. The supply pressure must comply with the values indicated in the table in “Burner and nozzle characteristics tables”.
Cylinder positioning Example of cylinder positioned to side Room ventilation The appliance should be installed in rooms that have a permanent air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow for the regular combustion of gas and the necessary air change in the room itself.
Installation When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity. Removing the hob top 1. Remove the grids from the hob. 2.
