USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner.
Automatic start-up with valves Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame, fig.1/1/A) and press the knob. Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed for about 6 seconds.
ATTENTION: the triple ring (wok) burner switches on only in the maximum flame position
Using the burners In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid the flame going out (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make liquids reach boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the closing point. The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing position. If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1).

(*) For cookware with a diameter of 120mm or below use mini-trivet supplied, refer to fitment instructions on page 15.
It is important to use cookware with the sizes specified and ensure the cookware is always correctly centered over the burner. Using oversize cookware can potentially cause heat damage to your benchtop and/or control knobs which will not be covered under warranty.
Notice ­

• When the equipment is not working, always check that the knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1). ­
• If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas supply, after a few seconds.
• To restore operation, set the knob to the lighting point (large flame, fig. 1) and press. ­
• While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as these substances can catch fire when overheated. ­
• Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or overflowing. ­
• Handles should be turned away from the front of the bench to avoid accidents. ­
• When the burner is started up, check that the flame is regular and, before taking pots away, always lower the flame or put it out.

Air must come from permanent openings made on the room walls that communicate with the outside. The section of these openings shall correspond to at least 200 cm2.
OPERATION ON N.G / S.N.G.
Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when the appliance is installed. Connect the gas supply to the 1/2″ B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. Refer to page 8 for the connection point position. Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the component maker for use with Natural Gas. The appliance installer is not required to make an adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting. An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.
Gas Connection
This appliance is supplied for use with Natural Gas. However, it can be converted for use with LPG. Refer to LP conversion chapter.
Supply pipe sizing
The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is shown on the data label. The required supply pressure (i.e. at the inlet to appliance regulator) for each gas type is shown on the data label, and given on page “TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTIC TABLES”. Use this information in conjunction with the length of run, number of elbows, tees, and bends, the available service pressure, and the supply requirements of other installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size. For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate section of the Installation Code AS5601.
An AGA certified class B or D flexible connection may be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with the AS5601 and in particular section 4.8. Where a hose assembly is used and the cooktop is in the installed position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point 800 – 850mm above the floor and in the region outside the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible with the appliance installed.
Elbow positioning
It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow has been repositioned. When fitting the elbow to the appliance, ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.
Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when the appliance is installed. Connect the gas supply to the ½” B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. Refer to page 10 for the connection point position.
Assembly of Regulator
The assembly of the regulator to the cooktop manifold is achieved via the elbow union and sealing washer supplied. The ½” parallel thread connects to the manifold, and the sealing washer is placed between the manifold end and the flat face on the elbow.
The ½” tapered thread connects to the outlet of the regulator and is sealed on the thread using approved thread sealing tape or approved thread sealing compound.
The inlet of the regulator is a ½” parallel thread and is connected to consumer piping or hose assembly. Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the component maker for use with Natural Gas.
The appliance installer is not required to make an adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.
Checking the gas supply

1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point. This is located on the regulator.
3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite the gas.
   NOTE! lt will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure
   when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum
   when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.

Under these conditions, the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by more than ± 0.20kPa
If the regulator appears to not perform satisfactorily, then check the following points:

1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow. Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.

Electrical connection
The appliance is supplied with a standard 10 Amp service cord terminated by a 3-pin plug for connection to a standard household socket. The electrical supply is required to power the electronic ignition system.
NOTE: It will be necessary for servicing purposes to disconnect the electrical power supply. The PowerPoint should therefore be accessible after the appliance is installed, as specified in the local wiring regulations.
TESTING APPLIANCE OPERATION
After installation, the installer must fully test the appliance and ensure it operates correctly before handing it over to the customer.
GAS CONVERSIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Data Label This appliance is suitable for Natural Gas and Universal LPG; ensure that the available gas supply matches the Data Label.
When converting from Natural Gas to Universal LPG ensure that the NG regulator is removed and replaced with the Test Point Assembly. An AGA Approved gas regulator suitable for a supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and the test point pressure should be adjusted to 2.75kPa.
Replacing the injectors
If the equipment is adjusted for a type of gas that is different from the one available, it is necessary to replace the burner injectors. The choice of the injectors to replace must be made according to the table of the “technical characteristics” as enclosed.
-Act as follows: ­
-remove the racks and burners. ­
-by means of a straight spanner L, unscrew the injector U (fig.7 – 7/A) and substitute it with the corresponding one.
Please note the wok burner on models HG75FX-M and HG90FX-M has three injectors (refer U1 & U2 of Figure 7/A for positions) ­ tighten the injectors strongly.
After changing the injectors, it is necessary to eliminate residual natural gas in the system.
To do this you have to turn to the maximum position then press the knob of each burner and wait a few seconds.
Adjusting the burners
The lowest flame point must always be properly adjusted and the flame must remain on even if there is an abrupt shift from the maximum to the minimum position.
If this is not so, it is necessary to adjust the lowest flame point as follows:

• start the burner up
• turn the tap up to the minimum position (small flame) ­
• remove the knob from the tap rod
• introduce a flat-tip screwdriver in the hole F of the tap (fig.8) and turn the by-pass screw up to a proper adjustment of the lowest flame point.

For the models with a triple crown is possible to adjust the lowest flame point for the external or internal ring. Is sufficient to turn the screws indicated in fig. 8/A.
As regards U-LPG gas burners, the by-pass screw must be tightened completely.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Schedule
