Do you have a question about the Bertazzoni CB36M500X and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides comprehensive installation, service, and user instructions for Bertazzoni built-in gas cooktops, specifically models CB36500X, CB36M500X, CB36600X, and CB36M600X. It emphasizes safety, proper installation, and maintenance to ensure efficient and long-lasting operation.
The Bertazzoni built-in gas cooktops are designed for domestic, non-professional use, providing multiple gas burners for cooking. These appliances are equipped with a pressure regulator to ensure safe and efficient operation by managing incoming gas pressure. They are convertible for use with both Natural Gas and LP Gas, with conversion fixed orifices provided. The cooktops feature a control panel with small symbols indicating the function of each knob, corresponding to the disposition of burners on the worktop. Some models include dual burners, offering versatile cooking options. Safety features include safety valves and thermocouples, which require the knob to be pressed down for a few seconds after ignition to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple, ensuring the flame remains lit.
The cooktops offer both manual and automatic electric ignition. For manual ignition, users turn the corresponding knob counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position and apply a lit match to the burner. For automatic electric ignition, the knob is turned counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position and pressed down to activate the spark ignition. It is crucial to keep pressing the knob for about 10 seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up; otherwise, the flame may not remain lit. The document advises against attempting to ignite a burner if its flame cap is not correctly positioned.
Users are guided on how to properly adjust burner flame size to prevent flames from extending beyond the edge of cooking utensils, a key safety consideration. Recommendations include using suitable pots for each burner, turning down the knob to the MINIMUM position when liquid is boiling, and always using pots with a cover. The ideal flame aspect is described as completely blue. For wok cooking, a suitable wok adaptor grid is recommended, with specific external diameter guidelines for the wok pan. The document also warns against using the appliance as a space heater due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and advises against using aerosol sprays near the appliance while it is in operation.
Maintenance instructions emphasize safety, starting with disconnecting the appliance from the power supply before any cleaning or service. Regular cleaning of the work surface, burner heads, cast iron pan supports, and burner caps with warm, soapy water is recommended. Spills should be removed immediately with a rag. For enamelled parts, frequent cleaning with soapy water is advised, avoiding abrasive powders and acidic or alkaline substances. It's also important not to wash enamelled parts while they are hot. Stainless steel parts should be cleaned with soapy water and dried with a soft cloth, with specific stainless steel cream cleaners recommended for maintaining shine and removing glue residues from protective films. Abrasive powders and metal tools should be avoided on stainless steel to prevent scratches. Burner caps should be lifted, washed in soapy water, dried thoroughly, and ensured that their holes are not clogged before replacement.
For service, the manual specifies that only authorized personnel should perform repairs, using only authorized replacement parts. It details the process for converting the pressure regulator for different gas types (Natural Gas or LP Gas) and changing burner nozzles, including instructions on unscrewing and re-screwing components and using a spanner for nozzle replacement. A crucial warning is given to save removed orifices for future use. The document also includes instructions for adjusting the work surface burner minimum flame, which involves lighting the burner, setting the knob to MINIMUM, removing the knob, and using a slotted screwdriver to adjust the choke screw until the flame is at its minimum without extinguishing when switching quickly between MAXIMUM and MINIMUM. This adjustment is specifically for natural gas, with a note that for liquid gas, the screw must be locked clockwise, and grill burners do not require minimum adjustment.
A leak test using soapy water solution is mandatory after initial installation or any service intervention involving main gas parts, strictly prohibiting the use of an open flame for leak detection. The document also provides a performance checklist for installers to verify surface burner ignition, low flame adjustment, and check for gas leaks. Final preparation steps include removing protective plastic wrap, washing the oven interior, and cleaning all stainless steel body parts.
