Gas Safety Regulations

The law requires that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in accordance with the current gas safety

regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly may lead to prosecution.

It is in your own interest, and that of safety, to ensure that the law is complied with. The hob should be installed in accordance

with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, the Building Regulations issued by the Department of the

Environment and the Building Standard (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations, issued by the Scottish Development

Department.

In the G.B., CORGI registered installers work to safe standards of practice.

Connection to gas supply

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the gas supply system complies with standards UNI-CIG 7129 and UNI CIG

7131.

Gas connection

The connection to the mains gas network or gas cylinder must be made using a rigid copper or steel pipe with fittings

complying with standards UNI-CIG 7129, or using a continuous-surface stainless steel hose complying with standards UNI

EN 148001.

The maximum length of the hose is 2 m. The pressure control valves to be used must comply with the UNI EN 16129 standard

for gas cylinders and the UNI EN 88-1 standard for piped methane gas.

Gas installations for household cookers must comply with the REGULATIONS ON GAS INSTALLATIONS IN INHABITED

BUILDINGS, published in the B.O.E. [Official State Gazette] No. 77, of March 30, 1974.

Ensure that the installation and gas connections are performed by a qualified technician, following the manufacturer’s

instructions and in compliance with current local safety regulations.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If the hob will not operate correctly, before calling the After-Sales Service, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide to determine

the problem.

1. The burner fails to ignite or the flame is not even

Check that:

• The gas or electrical supplies are not shut off and especially that the gas supply tap is open.

• The gas cylinder (liquid gas) is not empty.

• The burner openings are not clogged.

• The plug end is not dirty.

• All the burner parts have been positioned correctly.

• There are no draughts near the hob.

2. The burner does not stay lit

Check that:

• When lighting the burner, the knob has been pressed for enough time to activate the protection device.

• The burner openings are not clogged near the thermocouple.

• The end of the safety device is not dirty.

• The minimum gas setting is correct (see relevant paragraph).

3. The containers are not stable

Check that:

• The bottom of the container is perfectly flat

• The container is centered on the burner.

• The grids have not been exchanged or positioned incorrectly.

If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest After Sales Service.

CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE

• All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.

• Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any

food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.

• Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with

specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.

NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.

• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.

• Do not use steam cleaning appliances.

• Do not use flammable products.

• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.

If you have a IXELIUM hob, observe the following cleaning recommendation:

• Use a soft cloth (microfibre is best) dampened with water or with everyday glass cleaning detergent.

• Do not use paper kitchen towel, which can leave traces of streaks on the hob.

CLEANING THE HOB PARTS

• Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.

• Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any food residues and checking that none

of the burner openings is clogged.

• Rinse and dry

• 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.

• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to

ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on

food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.

NOTE: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.
