Gas connection
GB
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.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.

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.

• 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
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical
male attachment.
Ventilation
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.
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current
national regulations.
560 mm.
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.
Adapting to different types of gas
Where a hob is installed above an oven without a
forced ventilation cooling system, adequate
ventilation must be provided inside the cabinet by
means of air holes through which air can pass (see
figure).
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.

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.
3. Having adjusted the flame to the required low setting,
while the burner is alight, quickly change the position of
the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa
several times, checking that the flame does not go out.
GB
Replacing the nozzles on separate “double flame “
burners:
4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple)
fitted. If the device fails to work when the burners are set
to the low flame setting, increase this low flame setting
using the adjusting screw.
1. remove the grids and slide the burners from their
housings. The burner consists of 2 separate parts (see
figure);
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals
on the by-passes using sealing wax or a similar
substance.
! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation
screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
2. unscrew the burers with a 7 mm wrench spanner. The
internal burner has a nozzle, the external burner has
two (of the same size). Replace the nozzle with models
suited to the new type of gas (see table 1).
3. replace all the components by repeating the steps in
reverse order.
! Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating
sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.
Stickers are available from any of our Service Centres.
! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly)
from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure
regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe (in order to comply
with current national regulations).
• Adjusting the burners’ primary air :
Does not require adjusting.
• Setting the burners to minimum:
1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.

Practical advice on using the burners
On those models fitted with a safety device, the knob
must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the
device that keeps the flame lit warms up.
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
The “separate double flame” burner*
Burner
Ø Cookware Diameter (cm)
This burner consists of two concentric burners which
can operate either together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives
a very high power which reduces cooking times with
respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more
uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan,
when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to
its full potential, never set the inside ring to
minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the
same time.
