7 Installation Important I N S TA L L ATION AND ADJUSTMENT MUST E CARRIED OUT Y AUTHORISED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL ACCORDING TO THE APPLICALE INSTALLATION REGULATIONS. Positioning of the hobs D C E An opening must be made in the worktop of the dimensions specified in drawing 6. Drawing 7 The hob may be attached to kitchen units 20, 30 and 40 mm thick. When positioning the hob there must be a ventilation slot of 110 cm2 at the front of the kitchen unit. The minimum distance from the lower part of the hob to the kitchen unit must be 20 mm If there is not a ventilation slot, the minimum distance from the hob to the kitchen unit must be 130 mm C Drawing 8 These hobs only function with TEKA ovens. A C D Ventilation slot Worktop In order to install these hobs in kitchen units of 60 cm, the opening in the worktop must coincide exactly with the interior of the kitchen unit on the side of the controls of the hob. Kitchen unit of 60 cm 20 E Detail. A fig. 6 The minimum vertical distance of the lower part of the piece of furniture placed above the hob will be 600 mm. The piece of furn i t u re where the hob with oven is to be placed will be properly fixed. 7

8 Positioning of the oven See the applicable manual. Anchoring of the hob Once the hob position has been dimensioned, the seal must be affixed (J) to the hob. Fix the clamps (K) into the holes on the lower p a rt of the case, as shown in drawing 9, by tightening the four screws supplied (ø4.2 mm). The clamps (K) and seal (J) are supplied in the packaging along with the hob. Gas connection The gas connection of the hob must be made in accordance with the applicable installation standards or regulations. The room must be provided with adequate ventilation, in accordance with the applicable regulations. The hob is pre p a red with a 1/2 diameter s c rew connection according to ISO A ø10/12 mm copper pipe to which the gas supply pipe can be welded is supplied as an accessory. Each time the gas connection nut is re m o v e d the washer must be replaced. To avoid causing damage to the hob during installation when tightening the gas pipe connection nut, a maximum grip torque of 350 cm kgf must be used. K K Once the gas connection has been made, the airtightness of the installation must be checked. If the check is made using air, the testing pressure must be no greater than 200 g/cm2. If air is not available, use soapy water to check that no leak is produced at the connections. It is strictly recommended not to use a flame to make the check. Once the hob has been installed, check that the flame is regulated at its minimum setting. To make this check light the burners and make s u re that they do not go out when you change rapidly from high to low. 8 K fig. 9 Do not connect the hobs with urban gas containing CO.

9 e f o re connecting the hob to the power s u p p l y, check that the voltage and fre q u e n c y a re those specified in the rating plate located on the lower part of the hob. The power supply connection must be done by using an easily accessible omni-pole switch or plug suitable for the strength to be support e d and with a minimum distance of 3 mm between contacts to guarantee the switchingo ff in emergency situations or when cleaning the hob. Connection must be done by using an a p p ropriate earth connection according to the applicable regulations. In the event that it were necessary to change the flexible power supply cable in these hobs, it must be replaced by official TEKA technicians as special tools are required. P revent any contact of the power supply cable either with the case of the hob or with that of the oven, if this is installed in the same unit. Ventilation: Electrical connection The glues used in the manufacturing of the f u rn i t u re or when gluing the decorative tissues, as well as those which are part of the worktops, must be pre p a red to bear temperatures of up to C. Important! Gas transformation The transformation of the appliance to use a d i ff e rent gas to that for which it has been sold must only be carried out by a qualified technician. I n f o rmation for the Technical Ser v i c e : in the event of conversion of the type of gas or p re s s u re in the appliance, the new re g u l a t i o n label must be placed over the existing one, in o rder to identify the new characteristics after the changeover. To make the transformation replace the gas nozzles and regulate the minimum settings of the taps. The gas nozzles necessary for each type of gas are indicated in table 1. Take into account that certain oven models require the installation of a top ventilation slot of a size between 30 and 40 mm (consult the applicable manual). Warning: If the furn i t u re under the hob is going to be used for the storage of products, the minimum distance between these products and the hob must be 15 cm. It should be also taken into account that temperature inside the furn i t u re may reach 60 0 C. 9

10 Table 1 urner Family First Second Third Group a Group c Group e Group H Group E+ Group 3+ Large Inmediate Small Gas nozzle diameter ø expressed in 1/100 mm. To replace the gas nozzles it is necessary to follow the following instructions: Remove the pan supports and the top part of the burners in order to access the nozzle. Use a no 7 tubular spanner to remove the nozzles and replace them with the c o rresponding alternative nozzles. Take care to tighten the nozzles well so as to avoid the risk of gas leaks. Reposition the pan support and burn e r covers. Once the gas nozzles have been replaced, the following instructions must be followed to graduate the minimum settings. Remove the controls and joints from the control panel to access the gas taps. Light the burners at their minimum setting. Use a small screw-driver to remove the s c rew on the right or centre of the plug of the gas key until the minimum flame is set (turn left to increase the flame and right to decre a- se the flame). Once the setting has been graduated check that the flame remains at its minimum setting when the control is brusquely turned between the maximum and minimum setting TEKA INDUSTRIAL, S.A. will not accept responsibility for incorrect hob operation if the gas transformation and regulation of minimum b u rner settings are not carried out by TEKA s official Technical Service. 10

16 Use and Maintenance Special requirements before first use efore connecting the hob to the power supply check that the voltage and frequency are those indicated in the rating plate located on the lower part of the hob. A Remove the protecting plastic affixed to the hob, if any. Lighting of burners D Check that the controls are in the corre c t position. Open the mains connection gas tap or the gas bottle cock. C Drawing 11 Put a lit match, lighter or flame, etc. next to the burner if no automatic lighting is available. While keeping the burner control pressed, turn it in anti-clockwise direction as far as it will go until the maximum setting (large flame C ). The burner operates at that moment at full power. Then, if desired, turn the control to the minimum position (small flame D ). The hob with automatic lighting and safety system must be operated as follows: 1. Press the burner control. 2. Keeping the burner control pressed, turn it completely until the gas ignition takes place and continue pressing for 5 seconds to let the safety thermocouple act. 3. Place the control at the desired setting. 16 A C D u rner operation pilot Off control setting Maximum gas setting Minimum gas setting For the proper functioning of the automatic lighting system, clean the lighter (both ceramic and electrode) regularly with maximum care to prevent sparking problems. Also check that the burner openings do not have o b s t ru c t i o n s. The control panel features an illustration (A), in which the shaded area indicates to which burner each control corresponds. For safety reasons we recommend that the gas supply tap should be turned off when the hob is not in use, in accordance with gas supply company instructions.

17 If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply tap of the hob and ventilate the room. The gas installation and the hob must be checked by a specialised technician. G Warning: The burners have hot zones during or after their use which may cause burns. Keep children away. C A D E F Use flat bottomed pans and check that they a re placed correctly on the pan support, in o rder to prevent pans from sliding when their contents start to boil (do not use pans with concave or convex bases). The minimum diameter of the pans to be used on each burner is 140 mm. For pans of smaller diameters use the small burner with the pan support supplement. Safety system components Hobs with safety system (models with AL letters) have a mains connection gas device made up of the following elements: Safety tap Safety thermocouple next to the burner Thermocouple-tap connection A C D E F G Safety thermocouple Thermocouple-tap connection Connection to the spark generator Sparking plug Ceramic Electrode Safety tap Suggestions for the proper use of burners Drawing 12 Do not use large burners with pans of small diameters as part of the flame will be deflected around the outside of the pan, thus considerably reducing efficiency. The thermocouple issues an electrical signal to the tap which detects whether or not there is a flame in the burner. Keep the tap pressed in for 5 seconds at least when lighting until the thermocouple gets hot and issues the sufficient electrical signal to the tap. When the b u rner is off the thermocouple detects the lack of flame and the safety tap cuts the gas supply. A Right A Wrong Drawing 13 17

18 Lit burners must not be left uncovered in o rder to avoid the wastage of gas and to p revent the excessive heating of the pan s u p p o rt. It is important that the pan is covered, this will save power. When the burners are lit they must not be exposed to strong drafts. As well as re d u c i n g their calorific power there is a risk that the flame may be blown out, leading to gas leaks except in hobs with safety system - which could cause an accident. Care should be taken in this respect particularly when burners are operating at a low setting. If the burner causes the blackening of pans, or the points of the flames are yellow, it needs to be cleaned. If this fault persists, get in touch with your Technical Service. Do not use plates or grills for boiling with a low flame. These may cause damage to the hob. Do not use melting plates on the pan s u p p o rt. These reflect excessive heat on the hob. This is achieved by soaking in warm soapy water and scrubbing with a scouring cloth or a stiff brush. Do not clean the enamelled burner covers when they are still hot. Damage can be caused by abrasive products such as vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water and tomato juice, as a result of prolonged contact with the enamelled surfaces. Stainless steel must be washed with soapy water and a soft cloth. If the surface continues to be yellow after washing, we recommend the use of lemon, vinegar, diluted ammoniac or a cleaning product which contains ammoniac. When the burners have been dismantled for cleaning purposes, care should be taken to p revent liquids or other objects from entering the nozzle unit. Do not use cleaning products which are a g g ressive to aluminium, such as caustic soda, oil, etc. urner parts Pans placed on the burners must not be allowed to protrude over the edges of the hob, in order to prevent deflected flames fro m damaging worktops with surfaces non-re s i s t a n t to high temperatures. Cleaning and conservation of burners Pan supports should be cleaned with a non-abrasive scouring cloth after they have cooled off. urners must be cleaned periodically, p a rticularly the grooves in the burner heads. 18 A urner cover urner head C Gas nozzle D Nozzle unit A C D Drawing 14

19 N: Each time a burner is put in place, check that all the parts are properly fitted. If any component is badly placed this may cause bad combustion and/or excessive h e a t i n g. Maintenance of the burners A Each time the gas taps are dismantled, the washer which connects them with the distribution pipe should be replaced. The b u rners are operating correctly when their flame is stable and of a blue-green colour. If the points of the flame are yellow the burn e r s should be well cleaned. If the problem persists, contact your Technical Service. To guarantee the air-tightness of the gas installation and the correct operation of the b u rners, the hob must be serviced by TEKA s specialised Technical Service at least once every four years. N.. Any r e q u i red modification or setting of the appliance must be carried out by authorised technical personnel. Operation of hobs with electric hotplates The electric hotplates are controlled by a seven-step switch. To obtain diff e rent powers the corresponding control must be turned to the desired setting. The control panel features an illustration (A), in which the shaded are a indicates to which hotplate each contro l corresponds. A Hotplate operation pilot Control indicator The pan should be placed on the hotplate before it is switched on. The powers corresponding to each setting of the control knob are shown in the following table: Hotplate Ø W. Control at Power 0 Off W W W W W W. Drawing 15 19

20 Hotplate Ø W. Control at Power 0 Off W W W W W W. Hotplate Ø W. Control at Power 0 Off W W W W W W. The red-point hotplate (1500 W) heats up especially quickly and at its maximum power during approximately the first five minutes. After this time its power drops to 750 W and it conserves the same temperature. When connecting the hotplate for the first time, or if the plate has not been used for a long time, it is necessary to dry out any humidity which may have been absorbed by the insulation. To achieve this, switch the hotplate on, without any pan, for five minutes at power position 2. The unpleasant smell and smoke given off are not dangerous. Good ventilation is necessary by opening any outside door or window. In order to get the maximum efficiency when operating our electric hotplates the following requirements must be met: 20 Suffestions for the proper use of electric hotplates Use completely flat-bottomed pans. A big contact surface between the hotplate and the pan leads to a higher heat transmission. The bases of pans should be thick in order to p revent dents. Observe in the drawing that pans with dents and bumps lead to a smaller contact surface. (See drawing 16). A A Right Wrong Do not use pans with smaller diameters than that of the hotplate. This will prevent contents from being spilt onto the hotplates when they start to boil. Dry the outer bases of pans before placing them onto the hotplates. When cooking is finished, the hotplate should be at a low setting or should be turned o ff before removing the pan; just in this way t h e re is a benefit from the accumulated heat and the assurance that the hot plate is not functioning uncovered.
