3. Attach C coupling to the main gas source by using hard copper pipe or flexible steel pipe.

WARNING; Final Check whether any leakage exists at the pipes with a solution with a soap, and do not ever use flame.

These instructions are for specialist personnel. All gas related works 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 the suitable diameters defined in the user’s manual. Conduct the works with a plain tip screwdriver at a position to see the valve setting screw by removing the switches of the hob and rubber seals. To set the low flame level, turn the gas setting screw on the valve to have minimum gas setting flow. Do this setting after installing the burner component, lighting the burner, and bringing the switch setting to minimum. The flow setting screw should be tightened in LPG conversions and released for conversion from LPG to natural gas.

If your hob does not have a built-in lighter or during a blackout, 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 until it reaches the “off” position.

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

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

Ensure the flame of your burner is blue and burns quietly. If the burner has a yellow flame or is noisy, check that all burners are fitted correctly. If the flame color does not change to blue, contact an authorized service.

Turn the control switch left-wise until reaching the maximum level. When you press the control switch, all igniters will spark. Release the switch a few seconds after the burner ignites, and adjust the control switch to the desired flame position between the maximum and minimum levels. To turn off the burners, turn the control switch right-wise to the “Off” position.

If the flame goes out when you release the switch, repeat the ignition process. This time, press and hold the switch for about 10 seconds. WARNING: Do not use the ignition system for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite within this time, or if the flame goes out for any reason, wait for 1 minute before repeating the process.

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

Before the first use, the electrical plate should be elevated to the maximum level and rested for 5 minutes without any container on it. It is normal if some smell or smoke is produced; this will disappear with use.

The electrical plate is managed with a power control switch. Settings range from 0 (off) to 3 (high).

To turn on the plate, turn the control switch to the desired position based on the cooking type and food quantity. The red warning light will be on when the switch is set to any value other than off. To turn off the plate, turn the control switch to the 0 position. The warning light will go off.

1 – Low: Heating

2 – Medium: Quick heating and

3 – High: Frying

These positions are for guidance. Power should be increased when cooking with a lot of liquid, in large portions, or with lidless containers.

The pan diameter and the burner power should match for efficient use. The proper diameters for each burner are given in the table below.

The pan grills are designed for safe use. Ensure the grills are placed properly and their legs fit well.

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

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 near the switches as they may be damaged.

Do not place pans on the grills harshly.

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

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

Do not place sharp objects on the hob.

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

Use pans with proper diameters. Do not use pans that are smaller than the burner diameter.

Use dry-soled pans on the burner. Do not place wet covers on the burner.

Close the unit for safety. If using natural gas, close the valve. For LPG hobs, close the hood.

Unplug the unit from the wall socket.

If the hob is hot, wait until it cools.

To prolong the life of the glass hob and grills, clean them with appropriate agents at certain intervals.

Clean stainless surfaces according to their finish and dry with a soft leather part.

Do not use the burning system when the burners are not installed.

Clean your glass hob and its grills with suitable cleaning agents for stains and oil. Harsh agents, stain removers, wire wool, and sponges should not be used.

Do not let empty pans heat up as the accumulated heat may damage the glass surface.

Do not pour cold liquid onto a hot glass surface or burners to avoid thermal shock.

Clean the hob regularly after it cools down after each use.

Do not remove the control switches during cleaning.

Enamel Parts: Clean all enamel parts with water, soap, and suitable detergents. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Pan Supports: Enamel grills may be washed in the dishwasher.

Burner: The two-part burners can be cleaned with detergent. Dry the burners after cleaning and place them delicately back in their positions. For electronic ignition models, the electrode should always be kept clean. For safety valve models, the valve should be cleaned for failsafe operation. After cleaning, ensure burners are correctly placed. Do not use the ignition system if burners are not in place to avoid damage.
