Overview

This document is a user manual for a gas hob, providing instructions for installation, safe operation, maintenance, and technical specifications.

Function Description

The device is a gas hob designed for cooking food in ordinary homes. It features multiple burners of varying sizes, including small auxiliary, medium semi-rapid, large rapid, and triple flame burners, to accommodate different cooking needs. The hob is equipped with control knobs to regulate gas flow and an integrated lighting system for igniting the burners. A safety valve, activated by a thermocouple, is incorporated to cut off gas flow if the flame goes out, enhancing user safety.

Important Technical Specifications

The hob is designed for installation in fitted kitchen units up to 600mm deep. The installation opening dimensions are 550 x 470 mm or 750 x 470 mm, depending on the model.

Burner Output and Nozzle Sizes: The manual provides detailed specifications for different gas types (G20, G30 at 28-30mbar, G30 at 50mbar).

  • Small Auxiliary Burner:
    • Max Output: 1.00 Kw
    • Min Output: 0.35 Kw
    • Nozzle (G20): 0.72 mm (0.095 M³/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 28-30mbar): 0.50 mm (73 g/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 50mbar): 0.43 mm (73 g/h)
  • Medium Semi-rapid Burner:
    • Max Output: 1.75 Kw
    • Min Output: 0.65 Kw
    • Nozzle (G20): 0.97 mm (0.167 M³/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 28-30mbar): 0.65 mm (127 g/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 50mbar): 0.58 mm (127 g/h)
  • Large Rapid Burner:
    • Max Output: 3.0 Kw
    • Min Output: 1.0 Kw

  • Triple Flame Burner:
    • Max Output: 3.80 Kw
    • Min Output: 1.9 Kw
    • Nozzle (G20): 1.35 mm (0.362 M³/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 28-30mbar): 0.98 mm (277 g/h)
    • Nozzle (G30, 50mbar): 0.77 mm (277 g/h)

Gas Intake Connection: G1/2" Electricity Supply: 220-240V~50/60Hz. The appliance is designed for 230V single-phase operation.

The hob complies with several EEC Directives, including 73/23 and 90/683 (Low Voltage), 89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility), 90/396 (Gas Appliances), and 93/68 (General Standards).

Usage Features

The hob is operated via control knobs, each marked with symbols indicating "no gas flow," "maximum gas flow," and "minimum gas flow." All operating positions must be set between the maximum and minimum flow settings. For versions with integrated lighting, pushing the knob down and turning it anticlockwise to the "maximum flow" symbol ignites the burner. After ignition, the knob must be held for about 10 seconds to heat the thermocouple and activate the safety valve. The flame can then be adjusted. In case of a power cut, burners can be lit manually with a flame. To turn off a burner, the control knob is turned clockwise to the "closed" symbol.

For optimal efficiency and lower gas consumption, users are advised to use flat-bottomed pans with dimensions suitable for the burners:

  • Large (rapid) burner: 180-220mm diameter
  • Medium (semi-rapid) burner: 120-200mm diameter
  • Small (auxiliary) burner: 80-160mm diameter
  • Triple Flame burner: 220-260mm diameter

It is recommended to turn down the flame once liquids boil. Caution is advised when cooking with fats or oils due to fire risks at high temperatures.

The manual also covers adapting the hob to different gas types by changing nozzles and adjusting the minimum flame level. This involves removing burner caps, unscrewing nozzles with a size 7 socket wrench, replacing them with appropriate ones, and then reassembling. The minimum flame level is set by turning a by-pass pin with a thin straight screwdriver, ensuring a small, homogeneous flame.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the hob's longevity and safety. Before any cleaning, the appliance must be disconnected from the electrical mains and allowed to cool.

General Cleaning:

  • Enameled parts should be washed with lukewarm water and detergent; abrasive products are not to be used.
  • Flame caps and burner caps should be cleaned frequently with boiling water and detergent to remove deposits.
  • Hob pan stands are dishwasher-safe.
  • For stubborn dirt, non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products are recommended, avoiding scouring pads, steel wool, or acids.
  • The hob surface should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and liquid detergent. Household detergents, bleaches, soaped scouring pads, steel wool scouring pads, and stain removers for baths or sinks are explicitly prohibited.

Ignition Plug:

  • The ceramic ignition plug and metal electrode (B in Fig. 1) should be cleaned periodically.
  • To prevent ignition difficulties, ensure burner cavities are not obstructed.
  • To clean burner cavities, remove the cap and separate the two parts, then reassemble and correctly position them after cleaning.

Routine Maintenance:

  • The gas pipe and pressure regulator (if installed) should be checked periodically for condition and efficiency. Any anomalies require replacement by qualified personnel.
  • Gas regulator taps need periodic greasing by qualified personnel.
  • For any malfunctions, users are advised to contact the nearest Service Centre, providing the model, product number, and serial number, and always requesting original spare parts.

The manual also includes environmental protection advice, stating that all materials are recyclable and encouraging separate waste collection. For decommissioned appliances, users should inquire about disposal options from their dealer or local authority and cut the power supply lead to render the appliance unusable.
