To obtain a flame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking utensil

on the pan stand.

To light a burner, proceed as follows:for version with lighting integrated in the

control knob, push the knob of the burner fully down and turn it anticlockwise

to the "maximum flow" setting symbol, or press the button if the appliance has

individual lighting.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds; this time

is necessary to heat up the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1-C) and activate the safety

valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.

Then check that the flame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the

flame as required.

In the instance of a power cut, place a flame near the burner and proceed as already

described.

If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the "burner cap" and "flame

cap" are correctly positioned.

To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol.

Before removing pans from the burners, always lower or turn off the flame.

USE OF PLATESWITH ENERGY REGULATOR

The plate is controlled by an energy regulator.

To activate the circuit, rotate the knob from 1 to 11.

A warning light on the control panel will inform you if the cooking

area is on or off.

Attention

Although the hob surface is very tough, it is certainly not unbreakable and it can be

damaged, especially if pointed or hard objects fall on it with a certain force.

Do not use the hob if the surface is broken or cracked; contact the assistance

service immediately.

Energy saving tips

. The diameter of the saucepan must be

the same or slightly larger than that of the

electric hotplate. Never use a pan which

is smaller than the electric hotplate.

. Use flat-bottomed pans only.

. Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.

. Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.

When using an electric hotplate for the first time or after a long period of disuse, turn

the knob to 1 and let it heat for about 20 minutes to eliminate any possible moisture

absorbed by the internal insulating material.

The plate is controlled by an energy regulator.

1) To activate the first circuit, rotate the knob from 1 to 11.

2) To activate the second circuit, rotate the knob past the

number 11, then repositioning on the required number.

To return to single-circuit operation, reset the knob to zero

then to the number required.

A warning light on the control panel will inform you if the

cooking area is on or off.

AR GB

For correct use of the gas hob

For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use only flat-bottomed pans of

dimensions suitable for the

burners, as shown in the table

on the right.Also, as soon as a

liquid comes to the boil take

care to turn the flame down to

a level that will just keep it

boiling.

For correct use of the ceramic hob

The hob is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power.The positions are

clearly marked.The heating occurs only within the diameters marked on the work-top.

For efficient cooking and energy saving, it is essential to use only suitable saucepans.

Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch the ceramic

surface. Before use, make sure that pan bottoms are clean and dry.

Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone they are used on.

When cold, pan bottoms should be slightly concave, as they expand when they are

hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob.This transfers the heat best.

The best thickness for pan bottoms is 2-3 mm in case of enamelled steel and 4-6 mm

for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.

There is a simple way of checking whether the pan bottom is of the right shape (when

cold).

Rest the middle of the bottom at an angle against the straight edge of a table and

slip a few strips of typing paper between them.

As a guide five to ten pieces of paper is correct for enamelled steel pans and two to

five strips for stainless steel (the higher number applies to the larger sizes of pan).

These rules are very important. If they are not followed there will be a great loss of

heat and energy, and the heat not absorbed by the saucepan will spread to the hob,

frame and surrounding cabinet.

NOTE :

The first few times the hob is used, it may give off acrid, burning smells.These will

disappear completely with repeated use.

Cleaning and maintenance

During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully

because these substances may catch fire if brought to high temperatures.

Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow

it to cool down.

General cleaning

Wash enamelled parts with lukewarm water and detergent; do not use abrasive

products which might damage them.

Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking

care to remove all deposits.

The hob pan stands can also be washed in a dishwasher.

For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products.

We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning.

Hob

Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid

detergent.Do not use the following products:

- household detergents or bleaches;

- soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils;

- steel wool scouring pads;

- stain removers for baths or sinks.

If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial products.

Electric hotplates

After use, for a good conservation, the hotplate must be slighty greased by means of

a cloth soaked with oil, so that the surface remains always clean and bright.

This avoid the eventual formation of rust too.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

To clean the work-top, you must follow the same precautions you use to clean the

glasses of your house. Soft stains caused by aluminium pans bottoms can be removed

by means of vinegar.

Make sure that sugar does not fall on the work-top during cooking, if it falls disconnect

the relevant hotplate, and clean as soon as possible with hot water, before it gets

cold.

In case there are stains of burnt sugar or similars after cooking, clean them using a

spatule or a razor before the cooking zone becomes cold (see picture).

Ignition plug

Automatic burner ignition is provided (when installed) by a ceramic "plug" and a metal

electrode (B in fig. 1).Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly.In addition,

to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the

burner are not obstructed.

To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the

cap and separate the two parts (see diagram on the

right).After cleaning, put the two parts back together and

return them correctly to their position.After washing, replace

the hob pan stands, checking that they are correctly

positioned.

Before leaving the factory, this appliance was tested and adjusted by specialist skilled

staff to give the best operating results.Any subsequent necessary repairs or adjustments
