[. . . ] 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 CASING. DO NOT PUT PANS WITHOUT PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND FLAT BOTTOMS ON THE COOKING HOB GRIDS. DO NOT USE RECIPIENTS OR GRIDDLE PLATES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE EXTERNAL PERIMETER OF THE HOB. THE HOB IS TO BE USED BY ADULTS ONLY. DO NOT LET UNSUPERVISED CHILDREN PLAY WITH THE HOB. THIS APPLIANCE IS MARKED ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE). THIS GUIDELINE IS THE FRAME OF A EUROPEAN-WIDE VALIDITY OF RETURN AND RECYCLING ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance or by the use of non-original spares. 24 Instructions for the installer 2. [. . . ] Any replacement needed should be carried out by a specialised technician who should make the mains connections according to the following diagram. L = brown N = blue = yellow-green The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage to persons or property caused by non-observance of the above instructions or deriving from the tampering of even a single part of the hob. 27 Instructions for the installer 4. GAS CONNECTION Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force. To facilitate connection, fitting A on the rear of the appliance may be adjusted laterally. 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 "5. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". The gas intake fitting is ½" gas external threaded (ISO 228-1). 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. 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. 2 Regulation for LPG". To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface or to the glass cover (only where applicable) top while cooking, all recipients 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 containers (*) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Burner Auxiliary Semi-rapid Rapid Ultra rapid Double crown Fish pan Ø min.

Never use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes. 37 Instructions for the user 7. 5 Electric elements 7. 5. 1 Turning on electric elements Hobs may be fitted with an electric element of varying diameter. The electric element is controlled by a switch and is turned on by rotating the appropriate knob to the desired position. Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding electric element by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or to the marking on it. When the electric element is powered, an appropriate indicator light comes on in the front panel. 7. 5. 2 Using the electric elements The electric elements are ideal for ultrarapid cooking. The settings shown in the table are merely indicative.

[. . . ] CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher. In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel's shine. [. . . ]
