Please adhere to the following safety warnings when using your ILVE ILFM1124KX gas cooktop:

THIS APPLIANCE IS CONCEIVED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER INJURIES OR DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR BY UNSUITABLE, WRONG OR ABSURD USE.

THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS (INCLUDING CHILDREN) WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE BY A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR SAFETY.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

WHERE THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR IN CARAVANS, IT SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER.

DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.

DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.

DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

The ignition of the gas burner is carried out by putting a small flame to the upper part holes of the burner, pressing and rotating the corresponding knob in an anti-clockwise manner, until the maximum position has coincided with the marker. When the gas burner has been turned on, adjust the flame according to need. The minimum position is found at the end of the anticlockwise rotation direction.

For models with automatic ignition: Operate the knob as described above, pressing simultaneously, the corresponding push-button.

For models with automatic/simultaneous (with one hand) ignition: It is sufficient to proceed as described above using the corresponding knob. The electric spark between the ignition plug and the burner provides the ignition of the burner itself. After ignition, immediately release the push-button and adjust the flame according to need.

For models with a thermoelectric safety system: The burner is ignited as in the various cases described above, keeping the knob fully pressed on the maximum position for approximately 3/5 seconds. After releasing the knob, make sure the burner is actually lit.

We recommend the use of pots and pans with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus preventing the flame from escaping from the bottom part and surrounding the pot.

Do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire.

When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to close the main gas pipe tap and/or cylinder.

Use of the appliance produces heat and moisture in the room where it is installed. Make sure the kitchen is sufficiently ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install mechanical ventilation devices (such as a hood).

Prolonged use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window.

On cooktops with thermoelectric protection, do not keep the ignite button pushed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has not ignited after 15 seconds, open the door of the room and wait at least one minute before making a further attempt.

On cooktops without protection, should the burner flame go out, close the corresponding gas cock and wait at least one minute before making any attempt to ignite it.

Prior to any operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical system. For long-life to the equipment, a general cleaning operation must take place periodically, bearing in mind the following:

The glass and steel parts must be cleaned with suitable non-abrasive or corrosive products (found on the market). Avoid chlorine-base products (bleach, etc.).

Avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the working area (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).

The wall and the small covers (mobile parts of the burner) must be washed frequently with boiling water and detergent, taking care to remove every possible encrustation. Dry carefully and check that none of the burner holes is fully or partially clogged.

Note: If the taps need to be lubricated, it must be performed by a qualified technician. Check periodically the state of conservation of the flexible gas feed pipe. In case of leakage, call immediately the qualified technicians for its replacement.

DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS.

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

Sooting up of cooking utensils.

Burners not igniting properly.

Burners failing to remain alight.

Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.

Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact the authorised service provider in your area.

The ILVE ILFM1124KX appliance shall be installed only by authorised persons and in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations, local water supply regulations, AS 5601 – Gas Installations and any other statutory regulations.

All operations concerned with the installation (electrical and gas connections, adaptation to type of gas, necessary adjustments, etc.) must be carried out by authorised personnel, in accordance with the standards in force.

The cooktop is designed to be built into a work surface. Before installing, install the gasket seal around the entire perimeter of the hole where it will be inserted. For Filotop models, the perimeter of the hole must be lowered by a depth of 1.5 mm. The hole does not need to be milled for Semifilotop models.

The cooktop can be installed on different materials such as brickwork, steel, marble, conglomerates, synthetics, wood and wood covered with plastic laminates, so long as resistant to a temperature of 90 °C.

A panel made of wood or other insulating material must be installed under the cook top at a distance of at least 15 mm from the surface.

The connection to a gas tank or gas line must be made by authorised personnel in accordance with AS 5601 after making sure that the cooktop is prepared for the type of gas available. Also check that the feed pressure falls within the values shown in the “User characteristics” table.

Metal rigid/semi-rigid connection:

Make the hook-up with metal fittings and pipes (even flexible hoses) so as not to stress the components inside the cooktop. After installation, use soapy water to check the perfect seal of the entire connection system. Make the connection using only metal fittings and pipes (flexible, continuous-wall steel hoses or rigid copper or steel tubing) and in such a way that its entire length can be inspected.

For connection with a Flexible Hose:

The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (Australian Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601. Ensure that the Hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or other appliance that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate. WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue or flue outlet of an underbench oven. The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections tested for gas leaks. The supply connection point shall be accessible with the appliance installed.

The installer must be qualified and is responsible for correct electrical connections and following safety standards. Prior to carrying out the electrical connection, please ensure that:

The plant characteristics are such as to follow what is indicated on the data plate placed at the bottom of the working area.

The plant is fitted with an efficient earth connection, following the standards and law provisions in force. The earth connection is compulsory in terms of the law.

Should there be no cable and/or plug on the equipment, use suitable absorption material for the working temperature as well, as indicated on the data plate. Under no circumstance must the cable reach a temperature above 50°C of the ambient temperature.

If connecting directly to the mains power supply, fit a multi-pole switch of a suitable size for the rated capacity with a clearance distance which completely disconnects the power line under overvoltage category III conditions, consistently with the rules of installation (the yellow/green earth wire must not be interrupted). The plug or omnipolar switch must be easily reached on the installed equipment.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service department or a person with similar qualifications, so as to prevent any risk.

Should the appliance be pre-set for a different type of gas than available, proceed as follows:

Replace the injector with the corresponding type of gas to be used (see table “User characteristics”).

To adjust to the minimum, use a screwdriver on the screw placed on the tap after turning the tap to its minimum position. For Universal LPG, screw tight.

Before leaving, the installer must perform the following checks:

Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition.

Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame for each burner individually and concurrently. When satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation.

In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.
