We have designed your hob for

private domestic use.

With a view to the constant

improvement of our products, we

reserve the right to make any

changes in their technical, functional

or aesthetic characteristics as a result

of technical evolution.

These hobs are designed exclusively

for the cooking of drinks and

foodstuffs. These products do not

contain any asbestos-based

component parts.

You must always keep an eye on your

cooking.

Read the instructions before installing

and using the apparatus.

Never leave any

CLEANING or

INFLAMMABLE products in the

cupboard beneath your hob (aerosols

or other pressurised cans, papers,

recipe books, etc.).

Using a gas-powered hob produces

both heat and humidity in the room

where it is used. Make sure your

kitchen is well ventilated.

Keep all natural ventilation inlets

open or install a mechanical

ventilation device. Intensive and

Your hob in complete safety

prolonged use of this appliance may

require additional ventilation, (for

example by opening the window), or

more effective ventilation (for

example by increasing the power of

the mechanical ventilation if this

exists).

Disconnect your hob from both

electrical and gas supplies before

carrying out any maintenance

operations.

For safety reasons, do not forget to

close the main gas valve for built in

gas lines or the valve on the top of

your butane/propane gas cylinder.

The connector pipe should remain

accessible along its entire length and

must be replaced before its expiration

date (marked on the pipe).

Regardless of the means of

connection chosen, ensure that this is

totally free of leaks following

installation using soapy water.

If a knob is difficult to turn,

DO NOT

FORCE IT

. Call up your installer.

The EC mark of conformity can be

found on all these hobs.

This appliance should be installed by

a qualified technician / installer.

Prior to installation, ensure that the

local distribution conditions (nature

of the gas and gas pressure) and the

adjustment conditions of the

appliance are compatible.

These hobs are designed to be used by

private individuals in their homes.

The adjustment conditions are stated on

a label in the wallet and also on the

packaging.

This appliance must be installed and

connected in compliance with the

regulations in force, and used only in a

well-ventilated area. Consult the

instructions before installing and using

this appliance.

Installing your hob in all simplicity

Since this appliance is not connected to a

combustion products evacuation device.

Particular attention should be given to the

relevant requirements regarding

ventilation.

On this subject, combustion can take

place only if oxygen from the air is

present, so this air must be constantly

renewed and the combustion products

must be evacuated (a minimum air input

of 2 m3/hour per kw of gas energy is

required).

These hobs have type X protection (in

accordance with standard EN 60.335.2.6)

against overheating of cupboards and

Class 3 for installation itself (in

accordance with standard EN 30.1.1).

Installing your hob in all simplicity

The hob must be built into the work-

top of a support cupboard. This work-

top must be at least 3 cm thick and

heat-resistant or else coated with a

heat resistant material.

A side-clearance of at least 30 cm

should be left to the right and left of

the hob. A tall cupboard or partition

too close to the hob would hinder free

movement of kitchen utensils.

If a horizontal partition is put under

the hob, it must be placed between 10

and 15 cm from the bottom of the

work top. In any case, do not keep

any sprays or pressurized containers

in the compartment which could be

just under the hob.

To ensure the seal between the hob

and the worktop, affix the joint provi-

ded in the folder before installing the

hob:

1- Remove the pan support grates, the

burner caps and heads after checking

their position.

2- Turn the hob over and place it gently

over the opening in the worktop paying

attention not to damage the control

knobs and lighters.

3- Stick the foam seal around the out-

side of the hob.

4- Put the hob back the right way up

and place the burners, caps and pan

grates back in position.

Connecting the gas supply

Natural gas

Meter

Gas

If the hob is installed above an oven or if

the proximity of other heat generating ele-

ments threatens to cause the connection

to heat up, it is vital that the connection be

made using a rigid pipe. If a hose or soft

pipe (case of butane gas) is used, it must

not come into contact with any of the

unit's moving parts or enter an area that is

likely to be obstructed.

● Preliminary remarks

fig.A fig.B

● Possible connections

The gas supply must be connected in line

with current regulations in the country of

installation.

FIXED NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.

For the user's safety, you must only cho-

ose one of the 3 following connections:

- Connection with a rigid pipe made

from copper and with screw on mechanical

connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark).

Make the connection directly at the end of

the elbow fitted on the appliance.

- Connection with a wavy metal (stain-

less steel) hose with screw on mechani-

cal connectors whose lifetime is unlimi-

ted (fig. A).

- Connection with a reinforced rubber

hose with screw on mechanical

connectors whose lifetime is 10 years

(fig. B).

● Lighting a hob fitted WITH A SAFETY

DEVICE (depending on model)

•

Each burner has its own gas tap which

is opened by pressing down on the

control knob and then turning it anti-

clockwise.

The gas tap is closed when the control

knob is in position “

●●

”.

•

Choose the gas burner you need using

the symbols at the side of each control

knob; (E.g. back right-hand burner ).

•

Your hob is equipped with an

automatic lighting system integrated into

each control knob.

•

To ignite a burner, press down and

turn the knob anti-clockwise until it

is pointing to the maximum

position .

Keep the knob pressed down. This will

trigger off a series of sparks that will light

up the burner.

•

Adjust the flame to the height your

require by turning the control knob

between the and symbols.

•

The safety system for the burners is a metal

rod next to the flame.

Using your hob in all simplicity

•

Choose the gas burner you need using

the symbols at the side of each control

knob;

(E.g. back right-hand burner ).

•

Each burner is controlled by a tap

fitted with a safety system, which cuts the

gas off automatically if ever the flame goes out

by accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).

•

Your hob is equipped with an

automatic lighting system integrated into

each control knob.

•

To ignite a burner, press down and

turn the knob anti-clockwise juntil it

is pointing to the maximum

position .

•

Adjust the flame to the height your

require by turning the control knob between

the and symbols.

How to use your gas burners?

- If ever your flame goes out, relight it as per normal procedure.

- The flames on the burner are smaller near the grate supports to avoid any damage being

done to the enamel.

- The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not

harm the quality of cooking in any way.

Using your hob in all simplicity

Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner ?

•

Recommended pan sizes:

Adjust the flames so that they do not

lick up the side of your pan.

Do not use a pan with a convex

or concave bottom.

Do not leave the gas on benea-

th an empty pan.

Do not use pans whose bases or

handles may partially cover

control knobs.

Some hobs are equipped with a specific

"WOK" type support stand, to be used

only on the central "Double Crown" ring.

This "WOK" type stand allows you to use

receptacles with a concave base. Used

with the "Double Crown" ring, it allows

better heat distribution around large

receptacles such as woks and large

diameter paella pans.

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a

mechanically ventilated hood).

- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window

for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing

mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.)

E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings

Total power: 0,85 + 1,5 + 2,35 + 3,2 = 7,9 kW.

Using your hob in all simplicity

How to use the electric hotplate?

•

To heat it up

Turn the knob to the point that corres-

ponds to the cooking you want to do

(See cooking table at the end of the

instruction booklet). The electric

hotplate 'on' light comes on.

The first time you use the electric hot-

plate, leave it on for 3 minutes at

maximum temperature without using

a pan to harden the surface coating.

Which pans are best adapted for use

on the electric hotplate?

•

Which pans are to be used on the

electric hotplate?

Use pans with flat bottoms that are in

complete contact with the electric hot-

plate surface:

- Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or

"sandwich" base,

- Aluminium with a thick (smooth) ba-

se,

- Enamelled steel.

Always use a pan of suitable

size: the diameter of the pan

must be larger than the diameter

of the electric hotplate.

YES

NO

Finish off your cooking with the knob

turned to (o). This lets you take ad-

vantage of the heat that has accumu-

lated in the electric hotplate.

•

Whenever possible use a cover on

your pans to avoid losing any heat by

evaporation.

- Never leave a electric hotplate turned on without a pan or with an empty pan.

- The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in

the “O” position.

E.g., position 3

Looking after

sparkers and

injectors

Looking after

the electric

hotplate

- If ever the sparkers

get dirty, clean them

with a stiff non-

metallic brush.

- The gas injectors are

in the centre of each

burner in the form of

a "pot". Make sure not

to block them up

partially when

cleaning the hob, as this will considerably

reduce the performance of your gas-rings.

- Small hard-bristled

brush.

- Safety pin

- The electric hotplate is protected by a black

surface coating. Therefore, avoid using any

abrasive products. After use, wipe it clean

with an oily cloth.

- If ever a electric hotplate starts to rust,

remove the rust with (with emery paper or

similar) and re-coat the electric hotplate with

a high-temperature renovating product to be

found at your local distributor.

- Renovating product

available in the shops.

Looking after

the grills and

burners

- Use a non-abrasive cream for removing any

persistent stains. Then rinse with clean

water. Dry each burner element carefully

before re-lighting your hob.

- Non-abrasive cream.

- Household sponge.

Looking after

enamel or

stainless steel.

- Use polishing cream for cleaning the enamel

on the hob. Polish with a dry clean cloth.

- Never allow any acid liquids such as lemon

juice, vinegar, etc. to remain in contact with the

enamel.

- Use a sponge and soapy water or a standard

stainless steel cleaner for cleaning the stainless

steel parts on your hob.

- Soft polishing

cream.

HOW TO PROCEED

ACCESSORIES TO

BE USED

Keeping your hob in good condition is easy if you clean it before it is completely

cold. Even so, never clean it when it is in use. Put all the electric and gas control

knobs at zero.

How to look after your hob?

- It is better to clean the elements of your hob by hand, do not put any parts

in the dishwasher.

- Never use scouring pads for cleaning your hob.

- Do not use a steam cleaner.

You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly .... ...... this does not

necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points

If your table is fitted with a gas

safety system and the flames go out

as soon as you release the control

knob.

In the low position the flames go

out or are too high.

Flames are irregular.

- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.

- Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that

have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating"

chapter).

Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with natural gas.

Check the adjustment of the low power screw (See paragraph

"Changing the type of gas supply").

- Check that the burners and injectors are clean and assembled

correctly.

- Check you have enough gas in your gas cylinders.

The knobs get hot during cooking.

Use small pans on the burners next to the control knobs. Large pans

are to be put on the large burners furthest away from the knobs.

Put the pan in place with the burner in the middle. The pan should not

be above the control knobs.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?IF YOU REALIZE THAT

Lighting the burners:

There is no sparking when the

control knobs or buttons are pressed

down.

When you only press down one

control knob all the burners spark.

Sparking takes place but the burners

do not light up.

- Check the electrical connections on the hob.

- Check that the sparkers are clean.

- Check that the burners are clean and in position.

- If the hob is fixed to the worktop, make sure that the fixing clamps

have not been twisted.

- Check that the sealing rings have not come out of place.

This is normal. The lighter system is centralised, and all the burners

spark at the same time.

- Check that the gas inlet pipe has not been squashed.

- Check that the gas inlet pipe tube is less than 2m long.

- Check that the main gas tap is open.

- If you use gas tanks or cylinders check that they are not empty.

- If you have just installed your hob or changed a gas cylinder, keep

the control knob wide open for a few seconds so that the gas can get

through.

- Make sure the injector is not blocked up. if this is the case, clear it

with a safety pin.

- Light up your gas-ring before putting a pan on it.

- Push the control knob down completely and keep it under pressure

for a few seconds after the burner has lit.

- Check that the burner parts are in place.

- Check that the sealing rings under the control knobs have not come

out of place.

- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.

- Light the burner before putting your pan on it.
