Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are

designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and

frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the

lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a

Gas connection

The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply

or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current national

regulations. Before carrying out the connection, make sure

the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you wish to

use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated

in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.”

When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure

regulator which complies with current national regulations.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the

values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle specications”).

This will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your

appliance while maintaining efcient energy consumption.
