[. . . ] THIS GUIDELINE IS THE FRAME OF A EUROPEAN-WIDE VALIDITY OF RETURN AND RECYCLING ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance or by the use of non-original spares. 17 Instructions for the installer 2. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C). 2. 1 Attachment to support structure If you wish to install the appliance on a work-top, the holes illustrated by the grey areas in figure 1 must be made in the top to allow this. Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate flames and any shelf that may be installed directly above them. 1 To fix the appliance to the worktop, insert the 4 fixing brackets (A) as shown in the diagram until they fit securely into place. [. . . ] The plug on the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must be the same type and conform to the current electrical system regulations. On the power line, install an omnipolar cut-off device with contact cut-off distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily accessible position near the unit. 18 Instructions for the installer Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts. If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must not be less than 0. 75 mm2 (3 x 0. 75 cable), keeping in mind that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has a maximum temperature of 90°C. Any replacement needed should be carried out by a specialised technician who should make the mains connections according to the following diagram. L = brown N = blue = yellow-green The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage to persons or property caused by non-observance of the above instructions or deriving from the tampering of even a single part of the hob. 2. 3 Ventilation of rooms The hob may be installed only in rooms with permanent ventilation, as required by standards regulations in force. The room in which the hob is installed must have sufficient air flow to satisfy the requirements of normal gas combustion and of necessary air exchange in the room. The air intakes, protected by screens, must be appropriately sized (regulations in force) and placed so as not to be blocked in any way. The room where the oven is installed should be suitably ventilated to avoid overheating or excess humidity produced by cooking, and in the case of lengthy use a window should be opened or the speed of any ventilators should be increased. 2. 4 Discharge of combustion products Discharge of combustion products must be guaranteed by means of hoods connected to a natural draught flue with certain efficiency, or by means of forced aspiration. An efficient aspiration system requires careful planning by a specialist capable of installing it, respecting the positions and distances prescribed by standards. After installation, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity. 19 Instructions for the installer 2. 5 Gas connection Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force. This operation must be done by a specialised technician. 23 Instructions for the user 5. USE OF THE COOKING HOB 5. 1 Lighting the burners Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the correct position and that their burner caps are in place, making sure that the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark plugs and thermocouples. Panstand grid B, available upon request, is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans). To prevent damage to the worktop, the hob is equipped with a raised grid C: installs over pans larger than the diameter shown in the table in paragraph " 5. 3 Diameter of receptacles". Note that pans larger than 28 cm diameter must be used only on the central burner. Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. Keep the anticlockwise to the large flame symbol knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat up. If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the thermocouple isn't hot enough. Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when you finish using the hob. If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open). 24 Instructions for the user 5. 2 Practical advice for using the burners For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "5. 3 Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. [. . . ] When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire. 5. 3 Diameter of containers BURNERS Ø min.
