Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
F
l
push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l
Mod. EHG 66: upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
gas supply would be interrupted;
l
then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Centre.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the triple crown burner, and should not be used
with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the
frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as
shown in the diagram.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrungoutinwarmwatertowhichalittlewashingupliquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
-householddetergentandbleaches;
-impregnatedpadsunsuitablefornon-sticksaucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Pan Supports and Wok Stand
The pan supports and the Wok Stand are dishwasher
proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves
roughedges.Ifnecessay,removestubbornstainsusing

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep
these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
Something Not Working?

Centre.
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
n There is no spark when lighting the gas
u Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on
u Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
u Check the mains fuse has not blown
u Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
n The gas ring burns unevenly

A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
FO 0264
Connection to the gas supply
Gas connection must be carried out in conformity with
the regulations in force. The appliance leaves the factory
tested and regulated for the type of gas indicated on the
plate which is situated in the lower position near the gas
connection tube.Ascertain that the type of gas with which
the appliance will be supplied is the same as that indicated
on the plate.
If different carry out all the operations according to the
indications cited in the paragraph “adaption to different
types of gas”.
Natural gas appliances must be fitted with a pressure
regulator and be installed at the inlet connection. The
gas pressure must then be set as a part of the
commissioning procedures.
For U-LPG the pressure adjustment is made via the
regulator fitted at the domestic cylinder.
For a maximum output and minimum consumption
ascertain that the pressure of the gas used has the values
indicated in the table of “burner characteristics”.
The joint is mounted on the intake area of the pipe, fitted
with a filleted nut G 1/2", between the sealing
components. Screw the parts without forcing, turn the
joint in the direction required and then tighten everything.
The natural gas regulator and U-LPG pressure test point
must be accessible with the appliance installed.
Important
Upon completion of installation, always check:
l
that all the joints are completely sealed by using a
soapy solution, never a flame;
l
that the gas pressure has been regulated to 1.00kPa
for Natural Gas and 2.75kPa for Universal-LPG. The
pressure test point is located on the regulator. The
pressure should be measured and adjusted with the
Wok burner on high flame;
that the automatic ignition system is operating
satisfactory on all burners, both individually and in
combination;
Connection
Carry out the connection to the gas plant only by means
of a rigid metallic pipe conforming to the regulations
in force. This appliance is not suitable for connection
with a hose assembly. The joint for the entry of gas into
the appliance is threaded R 1/2" (male thread).
Carry out the connection avoiding any type of stress on
the appliance.
l
l
that the burners operate correctly, are stable, without
yellow tipping or excessive noise on high and low
flame.
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the
hob connecting pipe. Failure to ensure the
correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.
Then demonstrate to the customer the appliance
operation and leave these instructions.

Electrical connections
The appliance is designed to be connected to 230-240 V
monophase electricity supply.
The connection must be carried out in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force.
Before the appliance is connected:
1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation
can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in
compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for
the electrical connection can be easily reached with
the appliance built in the furniture unit.
The appliance is supplied with a connection cable provided
with a plug, able to support the load marked on the
identification plate. The plug has to be fitted in a proper
socket.
If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system,
it is necessary that you install a double pole switch
between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a
minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts
and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance
with the current rules.
The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in
each part, it cannot reach a temperature 50 °C higher
than the room temperature.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal
block contact marked with "L") must always be connected
to the network phase.
Adaptation to different types of gas
WARNING: Servicing shall only be carried out
by authorised personnel.
Substitution of the nozzles
-
Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings and
crowns;
-
With a tubular spanner no. 7 unscrew and remove
(see diagram) the nozzles substituting them with those
corresponding to the type of gas used (see Technical
data);
-
Remount the parts carrying out the operations
described in reverse. Upon completion remove
existing gas type label and stick the relevant gas type
label near the gas supply pipe.
If the pressure of gas used is different (or variable) from
that foreseen an appropriate pressure regulator should
be installed on the entry tube. In case pressure regulators
for U-LPG are used these should conform to the
regulations in force.
