! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle
specifications”). This will ensure the safe operation and
longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.
GB
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in
such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the
appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the
appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in
order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced
after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with
appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2
gas cylindrical male attachment.

! Use the hooks contained in the “accessory pack”
• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a
wooden panel must be installed as insulation. This
must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 mm from
the lower part of the hob.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a
threaded attachment
Ventilation
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas
cylindrical male attachment.
To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the
cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the
oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a
completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x
560 mm (see diagrams).
These pipes must be installed so that they are never
longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once
connection has been carried out, make sure that the
flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and
is not compressed.
.
m
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current
560 m
national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
! When the installation process is complete, check the
pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a
flame.
When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven
without forced ventilation, ensure that there are air
inlets and outlets for ventilating the interior of the
cabinet adequately.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than
default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of
the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should
be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their
seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas
(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in
the reverse order.
Gas connection
4. Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.
Sticker are available from any of our Service Centres.
The appliance should be connected to the main gas
supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current
national regulations. Before carrying out the connection,
make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply
you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas.”
Replacing the nozzles on separate “double flame “
burners:
1. remove the grids and slide the burners from their
housings. The burner consists of 2 separate parts (see
figure);
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.

guarantees accurate flame adjustment and uniform
cooking results by facilitating selection of the
desired power level.
GB
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power
adjustment that allows for accurately adjusting the
flame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing
the same cooking results for each recipe, as the
optimal power level for the desired type of cooking
can be identified in an easier, more accurate way.
The "double-flame" burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric flame
rings that can operate jointly or independently (in
case of dual-control only).
As the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed down for approximately 2-3
seconds until the device keeping the flame
automatically alight heats up.

Practical advice on using the burners
Practical Advice on Using the Half Fish-Kettle
Burner *
GB
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
The two "Half Fish-Kettle" burners, are eliptic in form
and can be turned up to 90°. This makes the cooktop
more flexible in terms of how it can be used.
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond
the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
Burner
Ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
To turn the two burners 90°, proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the burners are cool;
• Lift the burner completely out of its housing;
• Replace it in its housing in the position desired;
• Make sure that the burners are positioned
correctly before use.
In addition, the two burners can be used in tandem

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
! It is not necessary to remove the pan supports in
GB
order to clean the hob surface. Thanks to the
support system, simply lift and hold the pan
supports or rotate them until they rest against a rear
support.
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents
or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch
the surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp
sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
Gas tap maintenance
• The removable parts of the burners should be
washed frequently with warm water and soap and
any burnt-on substances removed.
Over time, the taps may become jammed or difficult
to turn. If this happens, the tap must be replaced.
! This procedure must be performed by a qualified
technician authorised by the manufacturer.
• For hobs which ligth automatically, the terminal part
of the electronic instant lighting devices should be
cleaned frequently and the gas outlet holes should
be checked for blockages.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, rinse and dry any remaining drops
of water.
