ADJUSTMENT TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
If the appliance is intended to operate with a different gas from the gas type stated on the rating plate change the injectors.
Use pressure regulators suitable for the gas pressure indicated in the Product Description Sheet.
• The gas nozzles must be changed by After Sales Service or a qualified technician.
• Nozzles not supplied with the appliance must be ordered from After Sales Service.
• Adjust the minimum setting of the taps.
Note: when liquid petroleum gas is used (ULPG), the minimum gas setting screw must be tightened as far as it
will go.
Should you experience difficulty in turning the burners knobs, please contact the After Sales Service for the
replacement of the burner tap if found to be faulty.
REPLACING THE INJECTORS
(see the injector table in the Product Description Sheet)
• Remove grids (A)
• Extract burners (B)
• Using a socket spanner of the appropriate size unscrew the injector (C)
• Replace it with the injector suitable for the new type of gas.
Before installing the hob, remember to affix the gas calibration plate supplied with the
injectors in such a way that it covers the existing information relating to gas calibration.
ADJUSTING MINIMUM GAS SETTING OF TAPS
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted, remove
the knob and proceed as follows:
• tighten the screw to reduce the height of the flame (-)
• loosen the screw to increase the height of the flame (+)
The adjustment must be performed with the tap in minimum gas
setting position (small flame) .
• The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted.
• At this stage, light up the burners and turn the knobs from max
position to minimum position to check flame stability.
Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealing wax or an
equivalent material.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Service and maintenance only to be carried out by an authorised
person.
To replace parts such as burners, valve and electric components, the
hotplate must be removed from the bench top by releasing the attachment hooks, loosening the attachment screws of each
burner, unscrewing the hotplate attachments nuts which are visible at the bottom of the surface, removing the hotplate top,
taking care to remove lid taps and screws under them, and finally replacing the defective parts.
Note: If the valves must be replaced, first disassemble the chain of ignition switches.
It is recommended to replace the valve gaskets each time the valve is replaced, thus ensuring a perfect seal between the body
and the gas train.
WARNING: Do not modify this appliance.

either, after several cleaning cycles, on the black coated surface. These esthetical changing though do not impact product
quality neither its performances.
• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner.
