IMPORTANT: if a stainless steel hose is used, it must be installed so as
not to touch any mobile part of the furniture. It must pass through an
area where there are no obstructions and where it is possible to inspect
it on all its length.
• After connection to the gas supply, check for leaks with soapy water. Light
up the burners and turn the knobs from max position to minimum
position to check ame stability.
Adapting to different types of gas
! This operation must be performed by a qualied technician.
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated
on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner
nozzles should be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a socket spanner of the appropriate size, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 “Burner
and nozzle characteristics”).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in the reverse order.
4. Once this procedure is nished, replace the old rating sticker with one
indicating the new type of gas used. Sticker are available from any of our
Service Centres.
• Adjusting the burners’ primary air
Does not require adjusting.
• Setting the burners to minimum
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted, remove the knob
and proceed as follows:
1. Adjust the adjustment screw, which is
positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the
ame is small but steady:
• tighten screw to reduce the ame height;
• loosen screw to increase the ame height;
The adjustment must be performed with the
tap in minimum gas setting position.
2. Having adjusted the ame to the required low setting, while the burner is
alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum
and vice versa several times, checking that the ame does not go out.
3. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple) tted. If the device
fails to work when the burners are set to the low ame setting, increase
this low ame setting using the adjusting screw.
4. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals on the by-passes
using sealing wax or a similar substance.
! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation screw must be
fastened as tightly as possible.
! Once this procedure is nished, replace the old rating sticker with one
indicating the new type of gas used. Stickers are available from any of our
Service Centres.
! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the
recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be tted to the
inlet pipe (in order to comply with current national regulations).

Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the
corresponding control knob:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at
the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise
to the maximum setting.
Since the burner is tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame alight to heat up.
Models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control
knob. If this is the case, the ignitor is present, but not the button. To light a
burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it
in the counter-clockwise direction to the “High” setting, keeping it pressed
in until the burner lights.
! If a ame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for
at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efciently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

Burner Ø Cookware diameter (cm)
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner
and Nozzle Specications”.
• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly tted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.
• Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on
the pan support grid.
• Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge
of the hob.
The more variable aspect in terms of pan
stability can often be the pan itself, (or
the positioning of that pan during use).
Well balanced pans, with at bases that
are placed centrally over the burner,
with the pan handles aligned with one
of the support ngers obviously offer the
greatest stability.
Precautions and tips
! This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with
international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety
reasons and must be read carefully.
General safety
• This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
