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.
! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle
specifications”). This will ensure the safe operation and
longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.
/ront
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.

the lower part of the hob.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a

Ventilation
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas
cylindrical male attachment.
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.

! When the installation process is complete, check the
pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a
flame.

default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of
the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should

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.
! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation
GB
screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.
! 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.
• Adjusting the burners’ primary air :
Does not require adjusting.
! 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).
• Setting the burners to minimum:
1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment screw,
which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the
flame is small but steady.
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.
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.
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals
on the by-passes using sealing wax or a similar
substance.

MANUAACTURER OA ALL LIABILITY.
Replacing the cable
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part
of it reaches a temperature of 50°C above room
temperature. Aor installation above a built-under
oven, the hob and the oven must be connected
separately to the electricity supply, both for safetly
reasons and for easy removal of the oven for repair,
maintenance etc.
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-A with a
suitable cross section 3 x 0.75 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer
than the other wires.
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause
overheating or burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure
that:
• the limiter switch and the domestic system can
withstand the load from the appliance (see rating
plate).
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according
to standards and laws in force.
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily
accessible when the appliance is installed.

waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are active
in the creation of systems to manage the collection and
disposal of old appliances.
