4. Close the cover of the terminal board.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load 

indicated on the data plate (see table). 

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using 

an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 

mm installed between the appliance and the mains.  The 

switch must be suitable for the charge indicated and must 

comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire 

must not be interrupted by the switch). The supply cable 

must be positioned so that it does not come into contact 

with temperatures higher than 50°C at any point (the back 

panel of the oven, for example).

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make 

sure that:

•  the appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with 

the law.

•  the  socket  can  withstand  the  maximum  power  of  the 

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.

•  the voltage is in the range between the values indicated 

on the data plate.

•  the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. 

If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an 

authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension 

cords or multiple sockets.

!

 Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply 

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

!

 The cable must not be bent or compressed.

!

 The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by 

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

!

The manufacturer declines any liability should these 

safety measures not be observed.

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 that 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 

specifications”)  since  this  will  ensure  the  safe  operation 

and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient 

energy consumption.

!

 Should you need to install a gas hob on top of a built-in gas 

oven, it is strictly forbidden to connect the two or to use a 

single cut-off tap. The two appliances should be connected 

separately, and each one should have its own stop tap 

in order to make them completely independent from one 

another (see figures).

3. Unscrew the burner 

fastening screws.

4. Remove screw “

V

” and 

then the oven burner.

5. Unscrew the oven burner 

nozzle using the special 

socket spanner for the 

nozzles, or better still a 7 mm 

socket spanner, and replace 

it with a nozzle suited to the 

new type of gas (see Table 1).

6. Replace all the parts, following the steps described above 

in the reverse order.

Take particular care when handling the spark plug 

wires and the thermocouple pipes.

•  Primary air regulation for the oven burner

The burner was designed not to need any adjustments to 

the primary air.

•  Setting the oven burner to minimum

1. Turn the knob first to the Max setting for about 10 minutes 

and then to Min.

2. Remove the knob.

3. Remove the disk fastened to the control panel.

4. Adjust the screw located outside the thermostat cock pin 

until the flame is small but steady (the flame can be seen 

through the slots on the oven bottom).

5. Make sure the burner does 

not switch off when you turn 

the knob from Max to Min 

quickly, or when you open 

and close the oven door 

quickly.

!

 If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation 

screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.

!

  Once  this  procedure  is  finished,  replace  the  old  rating 

sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. This 

sticker is available from any of our Service Centres.

!

 If the gas pressure is different from the recommended 

pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the 

inlet pipe in accordance with current National Regulations.
