[. . . ] THIS GUIDELINE IS THE FRAME OF A EUROPEAN-WIDE VALIDITY OF RETURN AND RECYCLING ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance or by the use of non-original spares. 23 Instructions for the installer 2. POSITIONING OF HOB The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C). Never use silicone or other insulating products when installing the appliance; use only the rubber gasket provided. [. . . ] The plug on the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must be the same type and conform to the current electrical system regulations. On the power line, install an omnipolar cut-off device with contact cut-off distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily accessible position near the unit. Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts. If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must not be less than 1. 5 mm2 (3 x 1. 5 cable), keeping in mind that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has a maximum temperature of 90°C. Any replacement needed should be carried out by a specialised technician who should make the mains connections according to the following diagram. L = brown N = blue = yellow-green The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage to persons or property caused by non-observance of the above instructions or deriving from the tampering of even a single part of the hob. 26 Instructions for the installer 4. GAS CONNECTION Connection to the gas mains may be made with a rigid copper pipe or with a flexible pipe and conforming to the provisions defined by standard regulations in force. To facilitate connection, fitting A on the rear of the appliance may be adjusted laterally. For this purpose, loosen hexagon nut B, turn fitting A to the desired position, and retighten hexagon nut B (tightness is ensured by a biconical brass ring). The hob has been inspected for G20 (2H) natural gas at a pressure of 20 mbar. The gas intake fitting is ½" gas external threaded (ISO 228-1). Connection with rigid copper pipe: the connection to the gas mains must not provoke stress of any kind on the hob. After having regulated the device with gas other than the one tested, replace the label located on the guard with the one that corresponds to the new gas. The label is inside the bag that contains the nozzles provided. 32 Instructions for the installer 6. 3 Arrangement of burners on hob BURNERS 1 2 3 4 5 Auxiliary Semi-rapid Rapid Rapid Ultra rapid 6. 4 Lubrication of gas taps After a while, the gas tap may become hard to turn or lock.
