Secure the unit on the counter using the installation sheet and screws provided.

The air required for burning is taken from the environment of the hob, and the burnt gases are released into the environment. Proper ventilation must be maintained for safe operation. Burnt gases should be discharged outside by a hood with a flue. If no kitchen hood is used, an electrical ventilator with a guaranteed capacity to discharge 3-5 times the kitchen air volume should be installed in the wall or window.

Ventilation opening requirements are based on the volume of the room:

Electrical Connection

The electrical connection should be conducted by a competent and authorized person.

The electric cable of your hob should not be laid in hot regions.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable from a special cable agency or an authorized service dealer.

Do not use a reducer, adapter, or switch for electrical connection, as it can cause excessive heat and fire.

Plug the electric cable into a grounded wall socket. The manufacturer is not liable for any failure resulting from improper grounding.

The supply data of the electric network must be suitable for the data on the type label of the unit.

Gas Connection

These instructions are for specialist personnel. All gas-related work should be conducted with the electric connection cut off.

The value plate on the hob indicates the intended gas type. Connection to the main gas course or cylinder should be done after checking the adjustment for the proper gas type.

LPG hobs should have a standard stamp and 300 mmSS (30mbar) of outlet pressure.

Natural gas pressure is 200 mmSS (20mbar). Consult an authorized service for conversion to natural gas or LPG.

Use only piping, gaskets, or stamps as per applicable national standards.

If the unit is connected to a flexible hose, its length shall not exceed 120 cm.

Before starting gas installation work, please cut the gas supply.

Make the connection so that no pressure is applied to the connection records and piping. Ensure the pipe will not cause clogging or contact with sharp corners.

NOTE: Replace the gas hose of your hob every 4 to 5 years, even if it is undamaged.

NOTE: Check for any gas leakage after connection with soap and water. Do not ever use a flame.

These instructions are for specialist personnel with the required competence. All gas-related work should be conducted when the electric connection is cut.

To convert the hob, remove the burner plates and flame circles. Replace the injectors with those of suitable diameters as defined in the user’s manual.

Remove the hob switches and rubber seals to access the valve setting screw. Use a plain tip screwdriver to adjust it.

To set the low flame level, turn the gas setting screw on the valve to achieve minimum gas flow. Perform this setting after installing the burner components, igniting the burner, and bringing the switch setting to minimum.

The flow setting screw should be tightened for LPG conversions and released for conversion from LPG to natural gas.

After completing the conversion, reconnect the rubber seals and switches in the same order.

For the hob to operate properly, the grills and burner components must be positioned correctly.

Make sure the flame of your burner is blue and burns quietly. If the burner flame is yellow or noisy, ensure all burners are fitted properly. If the flame color does not change to blue, contact an authorized service.

Firing the Burner (Manual Ignition)

If your hob does not have a built-in lighter or during a power outage, place a naked flame over the burner and push the switch to bring it to the desired position with a counter-clockwise movement. Gas adjustment should be between maximum and minimum levels. To close the burner, turn the switch clockwise to the “off” position.

Models with Automatic Ignition

To ignite a burner, press the switch down and turn it to the maximum position. Once it burns, adjust the flame to the desired intensity with the switch.

If the flame goes out when you release the switch, repeat the process, but this time press and hold the switch for about 10 seconds.

WARNING: Do not use the burning system for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite within this time or if the flame is cut for any reason, repeat the process after waiting for 1 minute.

Closing the Burners

Turn the control switch right-wise (clockwise) to close the hob.

Flame Failure Device (FFD)

All burners on your hob are equipped with a Flame Failure Device system to prevent gas flow if the flame is extinguished (e.g., due to water flow, wind). If the flame goes out while the burner switch is open, this system will cut the gas supply to the burner. If the flame is cut for safety, repeat the ignition operation by turning the burner switch to the off position first.

Note: The burner positions on the burner table are indicated on the burner plate.

For Gas Burners

To operate the burners, turn the control switch left-wise (counter-clockwise) to the maximum level. When you press the control switch, all igniters will spark. Release the switch a few seconds after the burner ignites, and then turn the control switch to the desired flame position between the maximum and minimum levels.

For Hot-Plate Burner (if applicable)

Warnings:

Before first use, heat the electrical plate to the maximum level and let it rest for 5 minutes without any container on it. It is normal for some smell or smoke to appear; this will disappear with normal use.

After the first use, do not operate the electrical plate without a container on it.

Use containers with thick, flat bottoms suitable for the plate size. Do not use containers with smaller soles.

Do not place any liquid or wet containers on the plate.

Avoid contact with vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc., on the plate.

Do not use spatulas or other sharp objects for cleaning joints.

Turning on the Plate: Bring the control switch to the proper position by turning it right or left according to the cooking type, food quantity, and the scheme below. The red warning light will be on when the switch is set to any value other than the off position.

The recommended positions are for guidance. The power should be increased when cooking with a large amount of liquid, in big portions, or with lidless containers.

To close the plate: Bring the control switch to the 0 position. The warning light will go off.

The pan diameter and burner power should match for efficient use. Select the proper pan diameter and volume for the burner you are using.

Make sure the pan grills are placed properly and the plastic legs fit well.

Do not use pans with deformed soles, as they may cause instability on the grills.

Do not cook with pans without a lid or with semi-closed pans to avoid energy loss.

Do not place containers directly on the burner covers; always use the grill.

Place the cooking pan evenly on the burner. Improperly placed containers may tip over.

Do not place large containers at the side of the switches, as they may be damaged.

Do not place pans on the grills harshly.

Ensure the burner area will not be impacted, and do not place heavy objects on the tray.

Do not heat pans when they are empty. The pan sole may deform and the heat may damage the burner table surface.

Do not throw cold liquids onto the glass surface or burners when they are hot.

Do not place sharp objects on the hob.

Do not use pans that transfer excessive heat to the bottom surface directly.

In the event of a fire, do not try to extinguish it with water. Close the electric circuit of the hob and use a material like a fire blanket to cut the flame.

Use flat-soled pans on the hob for maximum thermal energy use. Concave pans are not recommended.

Use pans with proper diameters. Do not use pans smaller than the diameter of the burner, as this can cause overflowing and reduce efficiency.

Use dry-soled pans. Do not place the cover of the pan, especially wet ones, on the burner.

It is recommended to set the maximum level at the beginning of the cooking process and then adjust the burning levels according to the characteristics and quantity of the food being cooked.
