USE

Notes:
Use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it
is installed. The room must therefore be well ventilated by keeping the natural air
vents clear (fig. 3) and by activating the mechanical aeration device (suction hood
or electric fan fig. 4 and fig. 5).
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This
can be achieved by opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical
exhausting system if installed.

Abnormal Operation:
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require
servicing:

Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

Sooting up of cooking utensils.

Burners not igniting properly.

Burners failing to remain alight.

Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.

Gas valves which are difficult to turn.

(*) Air inlet – minimum section 100 cm

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:
Always disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity mains before carrying
out any cleaning operation.
2) HOT PLATE
Periodically wash the hot plate, the enamelled steel pan support, the enamelled burner
caps “C” and the burner heads “T” (see fig. 6) with lukewarm soapy water. Following this,
all parts should be thoroughly rinsed and dried. Never wash them while they are still warm
and never use abrasive powders. Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water, lemon or
tomato juice from remaining in contact with the enamelled surfaces for long periods of
time.

WARNINGS:
Comply with the following instructions, before remounting the parts:

Check that burner head slots (fig. 6) have not become clogged by foreign
bodies.

Check that enamelled burner cap “C” (fig. 6) have correctly positioned on the
burner head. It must be steady.

The exact position of the pan support is established by the rounded corners,
which should be set towards the side edge of the hot plate.

Do not force the taps if they are difficult open or close. Contact the technical
assistance service for repairs.

Correctly preserve the plate after use by treating it with special products,
easily available on the market. This will keep the surface of the plate clean
and bright. The operation will also prevent the formation of rust.

CARE & MAINTAINENCE
To optimize the appearance & Upkeep of Stainless steel:
1) ALWAYS keep S/Steel out of contact from Acid / Acid-based solvent (Liquid or vapour

form).

2) After installation, wipe clean all S/Steel products with soft damp cloth to rid of any

traces of dirt (e.g. cement dust) or perspiration marks.

In the event whereby presistent sparks appear:
Immediately clean affected areas with S/Steel Cleaning Powder, using clean damp soft
cloth.
Ensure surface is rinsed and thoroughly clean of all marks and cleaning powder.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER

This appliance must be installed only authorised personnel and in accordance with
the regulations of the Gas Installation Code AS5601/AG601 and Electricity
authorities.
The wall and bench surfaces must be capable of sustaining temperatures of 75
degrees Celsius.
All laminates, fixing adhesive and surfacing materials should be certified suitable
for this temperature.
Refer to figure 7 - 8 for required clearances around appliance.
NOTE 1:
fire resistant material (eg ceramic tiles) is required to 450 mm above burner top if wall or
vertical structures are within 200 mm from burner.
NOTE 2:
rangehood and exhaust system are not permitted within 600 mm above burner tops.

3) INSTALLING THE HOT PLATE
Check that the appliance is in a good condition after having removed the outer packaging
and internal wrappings from around the various loose parts. In case of doubt, do not use
the appliance and contact qualified personnel.
Never leave the packaging materials (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.)
within children’s reach since they could become potential sources of danger.
The measurements of the opening made in the top of the modular cabinet and into which
the hot plate will be installed are indicated in either fig. 7. Always comply with the
measurements given for the hole into which the appliance will be recessed (see fig. 7 and
8).
The appliance belongs to class 3 and is therefore subject to all the provisions
established by the provisions governing such appliances.
4) FIXING THE HOT PLATE
The hot plate has a special seal which prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet.
Strictly comply with the following instructions in order to correctly apply this seal:

Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still
adheres to the seal itself.

Overturn the hot plate and correctly position seal “E” (fig. 9) under the edge of the
hot plate itself, so that the outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer
perimetral edge of the hot plate. The ends of the strips must fit together without
overlapping.

Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hot plate, pressing it in place with the fingers.

The prospective walls (left or right) that exceed the working table in height must be
at a minimum distance from the cutting as mentionned both in the columns and the
scheme.

As the wok burner can generate significant heat we recommend that a 50mm
air gap barrier be installed between the underside of the gas hob and a
physical barrier beneath the area of wok burner and any adjoining materials
(fig. 7).
