Read the appliance's instructions before
installing and using.
The graphics in these Assembly
instructions are given as a guide only.
The manufacturer is exempt from all
liability if this manual's requirements
are not complied with.

Safety instructions

All operations relating to installation,
regulation and conversion to other
types of gas must be carried out by
an authorised installation engineer,
respecting applicable regulations,
standards and the specifications of
the gas and electricity providers.
Before you begin, turn off the
appliance's electricity and gas
supply.
You are recommended to contact the
Technical Assistance Service to
convert to another type of gas.
This appliance has been designed for
home use only, not for commercial or
professional use. This appliance cannot
be installed on yachts or in caravans.
The warranty will only be valid if the
appliance is used for the purpose for
which it was designed.
Before installing, you need to check that
local distribution conditions (gas type
and pressure) and the appliance's
adjustment are compatible (see table I).
The appliance's adjustment conditions
are written on the label or the
specifications plate.
This appliance can only be installed in a
well-ventilated place in accordance with
existing regulations and ventilation
specifications. The appliance must not
be connected to a combustion product
evacuation device.
The supply cable must be attached to
the unit to prevent it from touching hot
parts of the oven or hob.
Appliances with electrical supply must
be earthed.
Do not tamper with the appliance's
interior. If necessary, call our Technical
Assistance Service.

Before installing

This appliance is class 3 type,
according to the EN 30-1-1 regulation
for gas appliances: built-in appliance.
These individual appliances can be
combined with other identical
appliances and/or with conventional
hobs of the same make, using the joint
accessory.
See the catalogue for details.
The units next to the appliance must be
made of non-flammable materials. The
laminated covering and glue for
adhering it must be heat resistant.
This appliance cannot be installed
above fridges, washing machines,
dishwashers or similar.
An oven must have a power cooling fan
to install a hob above it.
Check the oven's dimensions in its
installation manual.
If an extractor fan is installed, you must
follow the installation manual's
instructions, always keeping a minimum
distance of 650 mm to the hob.
Preparation of kitchen unit
(fig. 1-2)
Make an appropriate size cut in the
work surface.
If the hob is electric or mixed (gas and
electricity) and there is no oven below,
place a non-flammable separator (e.g.
metal or plywood) 10 mm from the
bottom of the hob. This will prevent
access to the base of the hob.
If the hob is gas, it is recommendable to
place the separator at the same
distance.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the
cutting surfaces with a special glue.
This protects them from moisture which
could collect under the work surface.
Installation of appliance
The clips and the adhesive seal
(underside of the hob) are factory-fitted:
do not under any circumstances remove
them. The seal ensures that the entire
work surface will be watertight, and
prevents water seepage.
In order to fit the appliance into the
kitchen unit, first place the hob in the
correct position then loosen each of the
clips so that they all turn freely (it is not
necessary to completely undo them).
Insert and centre the hob.
Press the sides of the hob until it is
supported around its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
Fig. 3.
In order to complete the installation
process, you must place the diffusers
and the tops of the burners on their
corresponding burners. Also you must
place the grids correctly on their
supporting elements. Fig. 4.
Removal of hob
Turn off the appliance's electricity and
gas supply.
Unscrew the clips and proceed in the
reverse order to installation.
Gas connection (fig. 5)
The end of the inlet connection point of
the gas hob has a 1/2" (20.955 mm)
thread that allows for:
- fixed connection.
- connection using a flexible metal pipe
(L min. 1 m - max. 3 m). In this case, it
is necessary to insert the accessory
(427950) and the watertight seal
(034308) supplied between the
manifold outlet and the gas supply.
Fig. 5a.
In this case, you must prevent the pipe
from coming into contact with moving
parts of the kitchen unit being inserted
(for example, a drawer) and prevent
access to any spaces which might
become obstructed.
If you need to connect the gas supply
horizontally, our Technical Assistance
Service can supply you with an L-tube
(code 173018) and a seal (code
034308).
To be able to use this appliance in
France, it is necessary to carry out a
direct connection to the outlet of the
connection point with the seal 034308.
Fig. 5b.
Warning! If any connection is handled,
check the seal.
Danger of leaks.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
connection leaking, after being handled.
Electric connection (fig. 6)
Check that the voltage and power of the
appliance are compatible with the
electrical installation.
The hobs are supplied with a power
cable with or without a wall socket plug.
Provide an omnipolar cut-off switch with
a minimum contact separation of 3 mm
(except for plug connections, if the user
has access to it).
Appliances with plugs must only be
connected to sockets that have earth
wires correctly installed.
This appliance is type "Y": the supply
cable can only be changed by the
Technical Assistance Service and not
the user. The cable type and minimum
cross-section must be respected.
Changing the gas type
If the country's regulations allow, this
appliance can be adapted to other types
of gas (see specifications plate). The
components required for this are in the
transformation kit supplied (depending
on the model) available from our
Technical Assistance Service. The
following steps should be taken:
A) Changing the nozzles of the
burners on the cooking hob:
- Remove the pan supports, covers and
the main body of the burner, Fig. 7.
- Change the burner tips using a 7 mm
socket spanner and make sure that they
are tightened all the way in order to
ensure that they are correctly sealed
(see table II). With these burners the air
does not have to be adjusted.
Adjustment of the taps
Set the control knobs to minimum.
Remove the control knobs from the
taps. Fig. 8.
It has a flexible rubber valve reinforcing
ring. Simply press on this seal with the
tip of a screwdriver to allow access to
the tap adjusting screw. Fig. 8a.
Never remove the valve reinforcing
ring.
Adjust the minimum ring setting by
turning the by-pass screw using a flat
head screwdriver.
Depending on the gas to which your
appliance is going to be adapted, see
table III, carry out the corresponding
action:
A: firmly tighten the by-pass screws.
B: loosen the by-pass screws until the
gas flow from the burners is correct:
when adjusting the control knob
between maximum and minimum, the
burner does not go out, nor is there a
flame backdraught created.
C: the by-pass screws need to be
changed by an authorised installation
engineer.
