Instructions for the installer
All installation, regulation and adaptation to other types of gas
must be carried out by an authorised installation technician,
respecting all applicable regulations, standards and the
country's electrical and gas supply companies' specifications.
It is recommended that you call our Technical Assistance
Service for adaptation to other types of gas.
IMPORTANT: Cut the gas and electricity supplies to the
appliance before any kind of work is performed.
This appliance has been designed for home use only, not for
commercial or professional use. This appliance cannot be
installed on yachts or in caravans. The warranty will only be
valid if the appliance is used for the purpose for which it was
designed.
Before connecting the appliance to the supply, check that it is
prepared for the type of gas in question (see table I). Our
hobs leave the factory set for the gas type indicated on the
characteristics plate.
This appliance must be installed in a place with the proper
level of ventilation. The gases produced during combustion
must be released to the outside.
Check the size of the hob and the size of the opening to be
made on the kitchen unit.
The work surface must be level and horizontal. The stability of
the work surface must still be guaranteed after the cut-out has
been made. The work surface must be sealed with the wall to
protect against damp.
If it is to be installed over an oven, you must check that the
oven is suffiently well ventilated and check the dimensions as
given in the installation manual.
The panelling on the work surface in the immediate vicinity of
the hob must be made of non-flammable material. Both
stratified coatings and the adhesive used to fix them in place
must be heat resistant. Otherwise, they may be damaged.
Electric wiring must not come into contact with hot areas.
The mains supply cable must be fixed to the kitchen unit to
prevent it from coming into contact with hot parts on the oven
or hob.
Appliances with electric components must be earthed.
Handle the appliance with care throughout the entire
installation process. Avoid knocking the appliance.
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the
regulations in force and only used in a well ventilated location.
Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
SHOULD THE RELEVANT CONDITIONS NOT BE
PROPERLY SATISFIED, THE INSTALLER, AND NOT THE
MANUFACTURER, SHALL HELD LIABLE.
Installing the hob in the kitchen unit
The positioning of a hob in a kitchen unit is Class 3 according
to the standard for gas appliances EN 30-1-1.
The wood fibres used in the manufacture of kitchen work
surfaces are liable to swell when they come into contact with
moisture. You are recommended, therefore, to coat cut edges
with a special adhesive to protect them from steam or
condensed water which could deposit beneath the work
surface on the kitchen unit.
Depending on the model purchased, the fixtures and the
watertight seal (lower edge of the hob) may come
factory-fitted.
If this is the case, do not under any circumstances remove
them. The seal keeps the entire work surface watertight and
prevents leakage.
If these parts are not factory-fitted, fix the selfadhesive
seal
supplied with the appliance to the lower edge of the hob,
Fig. 2.
Remove the clips from the attached accessories bag and
screw them into the lower points designed for this purpose,
Fig. 2a.
Once the hob is fitted you should turn the clip and tighten the
screw as shown in Fig. 2b. For disassembly, unscrew the clip
and proceed in the reverse manner.
A- Normal installation method
1-Minimum Distances (mm). Cut a hole of the necessary size
in the work surface, Fig. 1a.
If the oven is not installed under the hob, place a separator to
prevent access to the lower part of the hob.
If the cooking hob is to be installed above an oven, check that
the oven is fitted with power ventilation, and check the
dimensions according to the assembly manual.
Centre the hob in the hole on the work surface.
B- Flush installation method
Important note:
All cut-outs in the work surface are to be carried out at a
specialist workshop.
The cut must be clean and precise, since the cut edge is
visible on the surface. The stability of furniture being
worked on must be ensured following the cut-outs.
Use special heat and water-resistant work surface (e.g.
natural stone or tiled work surfaces).
See the diagram for the cutting dimensions. Fig. 1b.
The units into which the cooker is fitted must be heatresistant
up to 90 ºC.
On tiled worktops:
If necessary, raise the height of the surfaces by fitting heat
and water-resistant strips all the way round. Fig. 3.
Place the hob horizontally into the cut-out and align it,
ensuring that the join is even on all sides Fig. 3a. The hob
should be positioned just below the work surface.
1 - Check the function and location of the appliances.
2 - Fill in the gap between the worktop and the hob using a
suitable commercial silicone bonding agent in a colour of your
choice.
Caution. Use of unsuitable silicone bonding agents on natural
stone worktops can cause permanent discoloration.
Suitable bonding agents can be obtained from our after-sales
service, cod. 310818.
Please observe the manufacturer´s instructions for use.
Apply the silicone bonding agent in the joints.
Before the silicone bonding agent starts to form a skin,
moisten a blade or your finger with a soapy solution and
smooth it over.
The hob should only be used once the silicone bonding
agent has hardened.
Hotplates connection
3 -The end of the input collector on gas hobs comes with a
1/2” (20,955 mm) threaded L-tube, Fig. 4. This caters for:
- Rigid connection.
- Connection to a flexible metal tube (L min. 1 m - max. 3 m).
If this method is used, avoid both contact between this tube
and moving parts on the housing (e.g. drawers) and passing
the tube through spaces liable to get blocked.
In either of the cases, do not move or twist the L-tube from its
factory-set position.
