2.3. ADAPTING THE HOB TO DIFFERENT
TYPES OF GAS

To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the
following instructions:
•remove the grids and burners
•insert on hexagonal spanner (7 mm) into the burner support

(Figure

•Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be
used

(see gas type table)

1)As illustrated, assemble parts in sequence:

A: 1/2 Male Adaptor Cylindirical
B: 1/2 Seal
C: 1/2 Female Gas Adaptor Conical-Cylindirical or
Cylindirical-Cylindirical

2)Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the
pipes into position.

3)Attach fitting C to mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or
flexible steel pipe.

IMPORTANT:  carry  out  a  final  check  for  leaks  on  the  pipe
connections  using  a  soapy  solution.  NEVER  USE A  FLAME.  Also,
make  sure  that  the  flexible  pipe  cannot  come  into  contact  with  a
moving part of the cabinet (eg.adrawer) and that it is not situated
where it could be damaged.

Warning:

If gas can be smelt in the vicinity of this appliance turn off the gas

supply to the appliance and call the engineer directly. Do not search for a
leak with a naked flame.

2.4. REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting
and then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by applying
gentle pressure).

Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can
be adjusted as in

Figure 9.

Turning the screw clockwise reduces the

gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise increases the flow – Use this
adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and
then replace the control knob.

When the gas supply available is LPG - the screw to set the idle flame
must be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas
rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for
the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

This  appliance  must  only  be  used  for  the  purpose  for  which  it  is
intended,  domestic  cooking,  and  any  other  use  will  be  considered
improper and could therefore be dangerous. The Manufacturer will
not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from improper

with  reduced  physical,  sensory  or  mental  capabilities,  or  lack  of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

3.1. USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in
and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few
seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the
pipes to escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:
• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ignition symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob
to the ignition symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the
control knob is being pressed.
If the burner has not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0
position and repeat the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the
flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited and
described above, but care must be taken.

Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and burner
caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVISE

For best results, use cooking vessels with a flat surface. The size of
the surface should match the gas burner side as follows. Table A.

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the
flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with a concave or
convex base should not be used.

WARNING: If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob
to the off position and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1
minute.

If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to
lubricate them.

Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service
Engineers.
