How To Use Your Appliance  
Gas burners  
Lighting the burners  
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most  
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.  
The burner can be regulated with the corresonding control  
knob by using one of the following settings:  
Automatic ignition "D":  
• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer  
is on the high-flame symbol;  
• press the automatic gas ignition by pushing the button  
Off  
marked with the symbol  
;
High  
Low  
• Checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the  
operation.  
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame  
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the  
knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.  
The symbols  
near the knobs also show the position of  
the relative burner on the hob.

To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off  
position “ “ .  
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas  
duct.  
• When the equipment is not in operation, check that the  
knobs are in the off position “ “ . The main gas supply cut-  
off cock should also be closed.

Practical tips for using the burners  
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable  
to use only pans with a diameter that is suitable for the  
burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond  
the pan base (see following table).  
The hob is fitted with pan reducing  
support (fig.1), which should only be  
used on the auxiliary "A" burner (small).  
When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame  
down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape  
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your  
appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.  
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely  
indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and thoroughly  
on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:  
printed symbols should not be cleaned with diluents or  
abrasive detergents. It is advisable to use only a a damp  
cloth with tepid water and a liquid detergent;  
Avoid cleaning appliance parts when they are still warm;  
Avoid leaving acidy liquids (vinegar, lemon juice, aggres-  
sive detergents, etc.) on enamelled or painted parts;  
The enameled parts and the glass top, if present, must  
be washed with warm water without using abrasive  
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;  
The removable parts of the burners should be washed  
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to  
remove caked-on substance. Check that the gas outlet  
slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before  
using them again.  
Greasing the Gas Valves  
Over time, the gas valves may stick or become difficult to  
turn. If this is the case, they must be cleaned on the inside  
and then regreased.  
Important: This procedure must be performed by a  
technician authorized by the manufacturer.  
Frequently clean the end part of the automatic glow plugs  
of the hob.  
The steel parts and especially the areas with the screen-  
Is there a problem?  
It may occur that the cooktop does not function or does not  
function properly. Before calling customer service for  
assistance, lets see what can be done.  
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in  
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the  
gas valves for the mains are open.  
The cookware is not stable.  
Check to make sure that:  
The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.  
The cookware is centered correctly on the burner or  
electric hot plate.  
The support grids have not been inverted.  
If, despite all of these checks, the cooktop does not function  
properly and problem persists, call the nearest Merloni Elet-  
trodomestici Customer Service Centre, informing them of:  
- The type of problem.  
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as  
indicated on the warranty.  
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the  
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are not  
original.  
The burner does not light or the flame is not uniform  
around the burner.  
Check to make sure that:  
The gas holes on the burner are not clogged;  
All of the movable parts that make up the burner are  
mounted correctly;  
There are no draughts around the cooking surface.  
The burner does not remain on when set to "Low".  
Check to make sure that:  
The gas holes are not clogged.  
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.  
The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see the  
section entitled, "Minimum Regulation").

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers  
so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and  
technical maintenance operations correctly and in  
compliance with national current regulations and standards.  
fig.2  
Important: the appliance should be disconnected from  
the mains electricity supply before any adjustment,  
maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should  
be used whenever it is necessary to keep the appliance  
connected to the electricity supply.  
The hobs have the following technical characteristics:  
-Category II 2H3+  
Class 3  
Positioning  
This appliance may only be installed and operated in  
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with provisions  
laid down by current regulations and standards. The following  
requirements must be observed:  
In a chimney stack or branched flue  
(exclusively for cooking appliances)  
Directly to the outside  
The appliance must discharge combustion products into a  
special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue  
pipe or directly to the outside (fig.2). If it is impossible to fit a

Instructions for the installer  
The hob must be at least 60 mm from the rear wall. If the  
combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room.  
Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures  
made in the outside walls of the room or through single or  
branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with the  
standards in force. The air must be taken directly from the  
outside, from an area far from sources of pollution.  
The ventilation aperture must have the following  
characteristics (fig.3A):  
hob is to be installed near a corner, it must be at least 100  
mm. from the side wall (fig.5). If the hob is installed on a  
base unit with doors, hob operation is not influenced by the  
opening and closing of these doors.  
· total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for  
every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with  
a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated  
on the rating plate);  
· it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on  
the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;  
· it must be protected, e.g. with grills, wire mesh, etc. in such  
a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced;  
· it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room,  
provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there  
is a risk of fire, such as garages, mews, fuel stores, etc. and  
is ventilated in compliance with the standards in force.  
Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may  
be made to freely pass through permanent apertures with a  
cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These  
apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap  
between the door and the floor (fig.3B). If an electric fan is  
used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation  
aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum  
performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient  
capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3-  
5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive use  
of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an open  
window or a more efficient ventilation system by increasing  
the extraction power of the electric fan if installed. Liquid  
petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is heavier  
than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms containing  
LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level, in order to  
allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not store LPG  
cylinders (even when empty) in basements/rooms below  
ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder in use  
in the room at any one time and connected far from heat  
sources which could raise its temperature to above 50 °C.  
fig.5  
Installation above an oven  
Suitable precautions must be taken to ensure that the  
installation is in compliance with current accident-prevention  
regulations regarding electrical and gas connections.  
Both the electricity supply cable and the gas pipe must not  
touch hot parts of the oven housing, in order to avoid  
overheating. When installing above a built-under oven without  
forced cooling ventilation, suitable air vents should be  
provided for as shown in fig.6 (inlet at least 200 cm² from the  
bottom, outlet at least 120 cm² from the top part) to allow  
adequate ventilation inside the housing unit.  
Also a wooden panel "A" should be installed beneath the  
hob as insulation, positioning it at a minimum distance of 15  
mm from the hob housing (fig.6).  
Fixing to the housing unit  
Proceed with fixing to the housing unit as follows (fig.7):  
· mount the hooks "B", partly tightening the provided screws  
"A" into the relative holes;  
· position the provided sealing gasket "X" 5÷6 mm from the  
edge of the installation hole, matching up the two ends of  
Fitting into modular kitchen units  
For correct operation of the hob built into a kitchen unit or  
other compartment, the latter must be suitable.  
The installation diagram plus dimensions of the housing hole  
is given in fig. 4.

Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner  
The burners do not need any primary air regulator.  
Minimum Regulation  
· Put the tap to the low flame position;  
· Remove the tap knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated  
inside the tap stem (fig.10), using a screwdriver (loosening  
the screw increases the height of the flame, tightening  
decreases it).  
note: the adjusting screw must be fully screwed down for  
liquid gas.  
For trouble-free operation, suitable use of energy and longer  
life of the appliance, make sure that the supply pressure  
complies with the values indicated in the table 1 "burners  
and nozzles specifications, otherwise install a special  
pressure regulator on the supply pipe in compliance with  
current standards and regulations.  
· Having obtained the low flame setting required and with  
the burner lit, abruptly change the position of the knob  
several times from minimum to maximum and vice versa  
and check that the flame does not go out.  
· In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the security  
device (thermocouple) when the gas supply is set at  
minimum, increase the minimum supply levels using the  
regulator screw.  
Connect in such a way that the appliance is subjected to  
no strain whatsoever.  
Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the  
standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple  
union (threaded ½"G male fitting) situated at the rear of the
