[. . . ] ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE CONTROL KNOBS ARE IN THE POSITION "ZERO" (OFF) WHEN YOU FINISH USING THE HOB. 25 Introduction THE IDENTIFICATION PLATE, WITH TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND MARKING IS CLEARLY VISIBLE UNDER THE CASING. THE PLATE ON THE CASING MUST NOT BE REMOVED. BEFORE CONNECTING THE DEVICE, MAKE SURE THAT IT HAS BEEN REGULATED FOR THE TYPE OF GAS THAT WILL FEED IT, CHECKING THE LABEL UNDER THE HOB. DO NOT PUT PANS WITHOUT PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND FLAT BOTTOMS ON THE COOKING HOB GRIDS. DO NOT USE PANS OR GRIDDLE PLATES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE EXTERNAL PERIMETER OF THE HOB. [. . . ] For this purpose, loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting A to the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut B (tightness is ensured by a biconical brass ring). Use a soapy solution to check for proper tightness. The hob has been inspected for G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. For use with other types of gases, see Section " ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". The gas intake fitting is ½" gas external threaded (ISO 2281). Connection with rigid copper pipe: the connection to the gas mains must not provoke stress of any kind on the hob. Connection may be made by using biconical adapter D with insertion of gasket C (supplied). Connection with flexible pipe: use only flexible pipes conforming to standard regulations in force, inserting gasket C (supplied) between fitting A and flexible pipe E. The flexible pipe has to be installed so that pipe length does not exceed 1. 5 meters of maximum extension. Make sure that the pipes do not touch any moving parts or become damaged. 30 Instructions for the installer 4. 1 Connection to LPG Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the tank according to the provisions of standards regulations in force. Make sure that feed pressure conforms to the levels shown in the table in paragraph "5. 3 Regulation for LPG". 4. 2 Ventilation of rooms The hob may be installed only in rooms with permanent ventilation, as required by standards regulations in force. The room in which the hob is installed must have sufficient air flow to satisfy the requirements of normal gas combustion and of necessary air exchange in the room. Replace the knob and check burner flame stability: (rapidly turning the knob from maximum to minimum position, the flame should not go out). 6. 2 Regulation of minimum for LPG To regulate the minimum for LPG, completely tighten (clockwise) the screw inside or next to the gas tap pin (depending on the model). The diameters of the by-passes for each burner are given in table "5. 3 Regulation for LPG". After having regulated the device with gas other than the one tested, replace the label located on the guard with the one that corresponds to the new gas. To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top 39 Instructions for the user while cooking, all pans or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs. 7. 3 Diameter of the pans Ø min.

The electric element is controlled by a switch and is turned on by rotating the appropriate knob to the desired position. 7. 4. 2 Using the electric elements The settings shown in the table are merely indicative. POSITION 0 1 2 3 4 40 HEAT INTENSITY Off Wreak Soft Slow Medium To melt butter, chocolate, etc. To defrost frozen food and prepare stews, cooking at or just below boiling point. To cook food which has to reach boiling point, to roast delicate meat POSSIBLE COOKING Instructions for the user or fish. 5 6 Strong Very strong For roasts, steaks and large boiled joints. To boil large amounts of water, to fry. WARNING When switching on the electric element for the first time, or if the electric element has not been used for a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried out by placing the electric element on position 1 for 30 minutes. [. . . ] Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out. In fact, humidity residues inside the burner holes might impair burner operation. [. . . ]
