Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop
GB
Fit 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.
Clamp Position for
H=40mm top
Back
! 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
Blue
Brown
- Earth
- Neutral
- Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
! The hob can only be installed above built-in
ovens provided with cooling ventilation.
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to the terminal
marked “E” or
or coloured Green or Green &
Yellow.
Electrical connection
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or
coloured Red.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or
coloured Black.
The cooktops fitted with a tripolar electrical supply
cord are designed to be be used with alternating
current according to the indications on the rating plate
located under the cooktop. The earthing wire can be
identified by its yellow-green colour.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
In the case of installation over a built-in electric oven,
the electrical connections for the cooktop and oven
should be independent, not only for safety purposes,
but also to facilitate removal of one or both in the
future.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.

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.
! 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”.
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.
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.
Gas Connection to Non-flexible Pipe
• Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner
(copper or steel)
The burners do not need a primary air regulator.
! Connection to the gas source must be done in such
a way as to not create any stress points at any part of
the appliance.
• Minimum Regulation
1. Turn the gas valve to minimum.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped
connector and a gasket for the attachment to the gas
supply. Should this connector have to be turned, the
gasket must be replaced (supplied with the
appliance).
2. Remove the knob
and turn the regulator
screw (positioned either
on the side of the top or
inside the shaft)
clockwise until the flame
becomes small but
regular.
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a
threaded, male 1/2" connector for round gas pipe.
Gas Connection to Flexible Steel Pipe
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a
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.
