=it the supply cord with a standard plug for the  
demand rate indicated on the rating plate or connect it  
directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a  
single pole switch must be placed between the  
appliance and the mains, with a minimum opening  
between the contacts of 3 mm in compliance with  
current safety codes (the earthing wire must not be  
interrupted by the switch). The power supply cord  
must be positioned so that it does not reach a  
temperature in excess of 50°C above room  
temperature at any point.

! Use the clamps contained in the "accessory kit."  
! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical  
connection has been made and that it is compliant  
with safety regulations.  
• In the event the cooktop is not installed above a  
built-in oven, a wood panel must be inserted as  
insulation. This panel must be placed at least 20  
mm from the bottom of the cooktop itself.  
Before making the actual connection, make sure that:  
The fuse and electrical system can withstand the  
load required by the appliance;  
Ventilation  
When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven, the  
oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the  
case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a  
space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back (see  
picture).  
That the electrical supply system is equiped with an  
efficient earth hook-up according to the norms and  
regulations prescribed by law;  
That the plug or switch is easily accessible.  
! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
560 mm.  
Green & Yellow

convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing.  
Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid  
gas tanks must be carried out according to the safety  
standards currently in force, and only after it is  
ascertained that it is suitable for the type of gas to be  
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the  
section entitled, “Adapting the Cooktop for Different  
Types of Gas”. If the cooktop is to be connected to  
tanks containing liquid gas, use pressure regulators  
that comply with current safety standards.  
1. Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out  
of the cooktop.  
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench  
and replace them with those for the new type of  
gas. (See table 1, “Burner and Nozzle  
Specifications”).  
3. Reassemble the parts following the instructions in  
reverse order.  
! To insure that the appliance operates safety, the gas  
is regulated correctly and your appliance lasts over  
time, make sure that gas pressure levels comply with  
the indications given in Table 1, “Nozzle and Burner  
Specifications”.  
4. On completing the operation, replace the old rating  
label with the one showing the new type of gas; the  
sticker is available from our Service Centres.

threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe.  
Only use pipes, tubes and gaskets that comply with  
current safety codes. The maximum length of the  
flexible pipes must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the  
connection has been made, ensure that the flexible  
metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not  
crushed.  
3. Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly  
high to low, the flame does not go out.  
4. In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the  
security device (thermocouple) when the gas  
supply is set at minimum, increase the minimum  
supply levels using the regulator screw.  
Check the Seal  
! In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must  
be fully screwed in (clockwise).  
! Once the appliance has been installed, make sure  
all the connections are properly sealed, using a soapy  
water solution. Never use a flame.  
! Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing  
wax, or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the  
by-pass.
