FOR U.K. ONLY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
The following information is intended for qualified and competant persons only who will
ensure that your appliance is installed correctly. All current legislation concerning the in-
stallation of Gas appliances must be observed by the installer*
* For the U.K. only - By law, the gas installation/commissioning must be carried out by a
«Corgi», registered installer.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with applicable regulations and should only be
used in well-ventilated locations. Before using this appliance carefully study the instruction book.
Suitable location
A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the area in which it is
installed. For this reason you should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all natu-
ral air passages open or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive
and prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such the opening of a
window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if you have one.
If a hood cannot be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or win-
dow as long there are air vents in the area.
The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5
times every hour. The installer should follow the relavant national standards.
If a hob of 60 cm is fitted above an oven which is not equipped with fan cooling system
it is recommended that openings are created within the built in furniture to ensure cor-
rect air circulation.
The size of these openings must be at least 300 cm
2
and placed as shown in fig. 4.
When a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven, the latter must be fan cooled.

These instructions are for Fitters qualified for installation of equipment in line with the
relevant national standard. All work must be carried out with the electricity supply dis-
connected.
The rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is designed to be used.
It is possible to use other types of gas after carrying out some simple modifications.
(See the instructions in the following paragraphs).
connection to the mains gas supply or gas cylinder should be carried out according to
the relevant national standards, after having checked that it is regulated for the type of
gas with which it will be supplied. If it is not correctly regulated follow the instructions in
the paragraph entitlet «Adaption for different types of gas». For liquid gas (cylinder
gas) use pressure regulators which comply with the relevant national standards.
N.B.: for safe operation, economic use of energy and to ensure greater durability
of the
appliance, make sure that the supply pressure conforms with the values shown
in the
table on page 44.
Use only pipes, washers and sealing washers which comply with the relevant national
standards.
When connecting the hob to the gas supply via use of flexible hoses please ensure
that the maximum distance covered by the hose does not exceed 2 metres.
N.B.: carry out a final check for leaks on the pipework using a soapy solution.
Never use a flame. Also, make sure that the flexible pipe cannot come into con-
tact with a moving part of
the cabinet (eg, a drawer) and that it is not situa
ted
where it could be damaged.
GAS CONNECTION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check the data on the rating plate, located on the outside of the unit, to ensure that the
supply and input voltage are suitable.
Before connection, check the earthing system.
By Law, this appliance must be earthed. If this regulation is not complied with, the
Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused to persons or property.
If a plug is not already attached, fit a plug appropriate to the load indicated on the rating
plate. The earth wire is coloured yellow/green. The plug should always be accessible.
Where the Hob is connected direct to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker must be
fitted with at least a 3 mm contact spacing when in the open position.
If the power supply cord is damaged this is to be replaced by a qualified engineer so as
to prevent any potential risk.
The earth wire ( green a yellow coloured) must be at least 10 mm longer than the live
and neutral wires.
The section of the cable used must be of the correct size in relation to the absorbed
power of the hob.
Please check rating plate for the power details and ensure that the power supply cord
is of the type H05RR-F, H05VV-F, H05V2V2-F.
GBIE
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.

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
H
symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the
H
symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being
pressed.
If the burner is 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 acci-
dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be
taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.
ATTENTION:
Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur-
ner caps are correctly placed within their position.
GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as
follows. See fig. pag. 1.
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not
overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.
WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi-
tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates
must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing
the lid down.

REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME
After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and then remo-
ve the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted as in
Fig. 7. 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 (Bottle gas)- the screw to set the idle flame must
be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.
