Setup and Installation
WARNING: Installation of this appliance must be performed by a qualified gas fitter and electrician in accordance with local regulations and standards.
Unpacking
Carefully remove the hob from its packaging. Inspect for any damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
Countertop Preparation
Ensure the countertop opening dimensions match the specifications of the hob. The required opening size is 56 cm x 48 cm. The hob's overall dimensions are 60 cm x 52 cm x 5.5 cm.
Gas Connection (NG/LPG Conversion)
The hob is factory-set for Natural Gas (NG). If you intend to use Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), such as propane or butane, the included LPG nozzles must be installed. This conversion must be performed by a qualified gas technician.
- Ensure the main gas supply is turned off.
- Remove the burners and burner caps.
- Using an appropriate wrench, carefully unscrew the pre-installed NG nozzles.
- Replace them with the corresponding LPG nozzles provided in the accessory bag. Ensure each nozzle is correctly seated and tightened.
- Adjust the minimum flame setting if necessary after conversion.
Electrical Connection
The hob requires a 127-240V electrical supply for the pulse ignition system. This connection must be made by a qualified electrician.
Leak Test
After installation and gas connection, a leak test must be performed by a qualified technician using a soapy water solution to check all connections for gas leaks. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
Operating Instructions
Ignition
- Ensure the gas supply to the hob is open.
- Press down and turn the desired burner's control knob counter-clockwise to the 'ON' position (usually indicated by a flame symbol).
- Hold the knob down for a few seconds after the flame ignites. This allows the thermocouple to heat up and activate the flame failure safety device.
- Release the knob. If the flame goes out, repeat the process, holding the knob down slightly longer.
Adjusting Flame
Once the burner is lit, you can adjust the flame intensity by turning the control knob between the 'ON' (maximum flame) and 'OFF' (minimum flame) positions. Always ensure the flame is stable and blue.
Safety Feature: Flame Failure Device
Each burner is equipped with a thermocouple that detects the presence of a flame. If the flame accidentally extinguishes (e.g., due to a draft or boil-over), the thermocouple will cool down and automatically cut off the gas supply to that burner, preventing gas leakage.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gas hob.
Daily Cleaning
- Allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the tempered glass surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
- Clean up spills immediately to prevent them from drying and becoming harder to remove.
Deep Cleaning
- Remove the pan supports, burner caps, and burner rings. These can be washed in warm soapy water.
- Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before reassembling. Moisture can interfere with ignition.
- Clean the ignition electrodes and thermocouples gently with a soft brush to remove any food residue that might obstruct their function.
Burner Maintenance
Periodically check that the burner ports are not clogged. Use a fine wire or needle to clear any blockages. Ensure burner caps are correctly positioned after cleaning to ensure proper flame distribution.
