This document describes a built-in gas hob, designed for cooking food in a home environment. It is a Class 3 appliance.

Function Description

The hob is intended for cooking food using gas burners. It features an electronic ignition device for easy lighting of the burners. The appliance is controlled by knobs located on the front panel, each corresponding to a specific burner. A safety device is incorporated to cut off the gas supply in case of accidental switching off.

Important Technical Specifications

The hob is factory-set for natural gas G20 at a pressure of 20 mbar. It can be adapted for operation with other types of gas by changing the burner nozzles and adjusting the minimum flame on the gas cocks. The appliance's gas connector has a ½" external thread (ISO 228-1).

Burner Types and Capacities (Natural Gas G20 - 20 mbar):

AUX (Auxiliary burner): Rated heating capacity 1.00 kW, Nozzle diameter 72 (1/100 mm), Reduced flow rate 400 W.
SR (Semi-rapid burner): Rated heating capacity 1.70 kW, Nozzle diameter 97 (1/100 mm), Reduced flow rate 500 W.
RR (Rapid burner reduced): Rated heating capacity 2.60 kW, Nozzle diameter 108 (1/100 mm), Reduced flow rate 800 W.
R (Rapid burner): Rated heating capacity 2.90 kW, Nozzle diameter 115 (1/100 mm), Reduced flow rate 800 W.
UR2 (Ultra-rapid burner): Rated heating capacity 4.00 kW, Nozzle diameter 150 (1/100 mm), Reduced flow rate 1400 W.

Electrical Connection: The appliance operates on 220-240 V. The power cable should be 0.75 mm² and connected to earth. A minimum contact separation distance sufficient for complete disconnection in category III overvoltage conditions is required for the all-pole circuit breaker.

Dimensions:

Overall dimensions (60 cm models): Length 600 mm, Width 510 mm, Height 40 mm.
Overall dimensions (72 cm models): Length 720 mm, Width 510 mm, Height 40 mm.
Built-in cabinet dimensions (60 cm models): X (cut-out width) 560-564 mm, Y (cut-out depth) 482-486 mm.
Built-in cabinet dimensions (70 cm models): X (cut-out width) 560-564 mm, Y (cut-out depth) 482-486 mm.
Clearances: Minimum 150 mm (A), 460 mm (B), 750 mm (C) if furniture above, 20-60 mm (D), 50 mm (E).

Usage Features

Lighting and Adjusting Burners: To light a burner, press the corresponding knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol. Keep the knob pressed for a few seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up. If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the knob to the off position and wait 60 seconds before trying again. To adjust the flame, turn the knob between the maximum and minimum settings. Return the knob to the off position to turn off the burners.

Pan Usage: For optimal burner efficiency and to minimize gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, ensuring flames do not extend up the sides of the pan. Once contents boil, reduce the flame to prevent boiling over.

Griddle Usage:

On 60 cm models, griddles should not extend beyond the hob's edge or be close to the knobs if placed on a single burner.
On 70 cm models, the maximum griddle size is approximately 35 x 26 cm and should only be placed horizontally on the UR2 burner.
On 90 cm models, griddles should only be placed vertically on the UR2 burner.
Griddles can be pre-heated empty for a maximum of 5 minutes.
When using refractory material griddles (cast iron, steatite, terracotta), use for a maximum of 20 minutes and reduce burner power for long cooking times.
Ensure the burner flame does not extend beyond the griddle's edge.
Maintain a minimum distance of 150 mm and 50 mm from the griddle's edge to the side and rear walls.
Do not place a griddle over more than one burner simultaneously.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning the Hob:

General: Clean regularly after use, once surfaces have cooled. Use specific non-abrasive or non-chlorine-based detergents. Apply to a damp cloth, wipe, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft or microfibre cloth.
Weekly: Use an ordinary glass cleaning product, following manufacturer's instructions.
Food Stains/Residues: Light marks from aluminium pans can be cleaned with a vinegar-moistened cloth. Remove burnt-on residues after cooking, then rinse and dry.
Pan Support Grids: Remove, clean in lukewarm water with non-abrasive detergent, remove encrustations, dry thoroughly, and return to the hob.
Flame-spreader Crowns and Burner Caps: Remove, wash in hot water with non-abrasive detergent, remove encrustations, dry perfectly, and ensure correct positioning in their housings with respective burner caps.
Igniters and Thermocouples: Keep perfectly clean. Clean frequently with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove dry residues with a wooden toothpick or needle.

Gas Cocks Lubrication: Over time, gas cocks may become difficult to turn. They should be cleaned internally and the lubrication grease replaced by a specialised technician.

Troubleshooting (What to do if...):

Hob does not work: Check connection, main switch, power failure, fuse, and circuit breaker.
Unsatisfactory cooking results: Ensure proper ventilation and unobstructed air inlets.
Hob smokes: Let it cool, clean after cooking, ensure food has not spilled, and use a larger cooking vessel if needed.
Fuses blow or circuit breaker trips repeatedly: Call Technical Support or an electrician.
Cracks or fissures on the hob: Turn off immediately, disconnect power, and contact Technical Support.
