letter E or with the earth symbol

or coloured

green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal
marked N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the termi-

the manufacturer declines all liabil-

ity for damage due to failure to comply with the
regulations and standards in force.

ELECTRIC IGNITION

The correct gap between the electrode and the
burner is shown in figure 9.
If no spark is generated, do not keep on trying as
this might damage the generator.
Possible causes of malfunctions:
- spark plug damp, dirty or broken;
- electrode-burner gap not correct;
- spark plug wire broken or without sheathing;
- spark discharging to earth (to other parts of the

hob);

- generator or microswitch damaged;
- air has built up in the pipes (particularly if the

hob has been out of use for a long time);

- air-gas mixture incorrect.

HOW TO USE THE HOB

VENTILATION

All gas cooking appliances produce heat and
moisture in the rooms where they are installed.
Take care to ensure that the kitchen is well venti-
lated; keep the ventilation openings unobstructed
or install an extractor hood with fan.
In case of intensive or prolonged use, additional
ventilation may be required; open a window, or in-
crease the extractor fan power.

IGNITING THE HOB BURNERS

- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise until it

reaches the

symbol on the control panel

(maximum flame position);

- at the same time, press and hold the ignition

button until the burner lights;

- to reduce the flame, turn the knob further in the

same direction until its pointer is against the
symbol (minimum flame position).

IMPORTANT

- Difficulty in igniting burners is normal if the hob
has been out of use for some time. The air accu-
mulated in the pipes will be expelled in a few sec-
onds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to flow from
the burners. If ignition is not achieved within a rel-
atively short time, repeat the procedure after re-
turning the knob to the off position (

);

HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS

Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner type.
The flames must not project beyond the base of
the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8 cm
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14 cm
- for rapid burners = pans of at least 22 cm.

N.B.:

Never keep the knob at settings between

the maximum flame symbol

and the off posi-

tion (
