INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE INSTALLATION

All the operations concerned with the installation (electrical and gas connections, adaptation to type of gas, necessary adjustments, etc.) must be carried out by authorised personnel, in terms with the standards in force. Kindly read the part titled, Instructions for the installer.

USE

Gas burners .





The ignition of the gas burner is carried out by upper part holes of the burner, pressing and rotating the corresponding knob in an anti-clockwise manner, until the maximum position has coincided with the marker. Then the gas burner can be turned according to need. The minimum position is found at the end of the anti. clockwise rotation direction. In models with automatic ignition, push the control knob down to initiate the ignition spark, then turn the knob to maximum flame. After ignition, immediately release the push-button and adjust the flame accordingly. For models with a thermoelectric safety system, the burner is ignited as above, keeping the knob fully pressed on the maximum position for approximately 3 to 5 seconds.
After releasing the knob, make sure the burner is actually lit. Repeat ignition if necessary.
N.B. – We recommend the use of pots and pans with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus preventing the flame from escaping from the bottom part and surrounding the pot.

• Do not leave any empty pots of pans on the cooktop
•  Do not use any tools for grill-cooking on ceramic or glass hobs

IMPORTANT

•  Use of the appliance produces heat and moisture in the room where it is installed. Make sure the kitchen is sufficiently ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install mechanical ventilation devices (such as a hood).
•  Prolonged use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window.
•  On hobs with thermoelectric protection do not keep the ignite button pushed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has not ignited after 15 seconds, open the door of the room and wait at least one minute before making a further attempt.
• On hobs without protection should the burner flame go out, close the corresponding gas cock and wait at least on minute before making any attempt to ignite it.

ABNORMAL OPERATION

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing: Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame. Sooting up of cooking utensils. Burners not igniting properly. Burners failing to remain alight. Burners extinguished by cupboard doors. Gas valves, which are difficult to turn. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact the authorised personnel in your area.
Electrical plates / vitro ceramic heating element (Fig. 2-2a-3). Rotate the knob towards the position required for cooking and bear in mind that the higher the number, the higher the heat output. See table “use of electrical plates”/ heating elements vitro ceramic. The pilot light signals that the plate is “on”. Some types of pilot lights will maintain some slight luminescence even after disconnection. That is quite normal.
N.B. – When using electrical plates / heating elements vitro ceramic, we recommend flat bottom recipients with a diameter equal or slightly larger than that of the plate itself. Avoid liquid overflow; after boiling or heating liquids, reduce the heat output. Do not leave the electrical plates on with empty pots and pans; when cooking is finished, rotate the knob back off position. In the event of even a slight fracture on the cooking vitro ceramic surface, disconnect the electric power supply immediately.
DO NOT STARE AT THE HALOGEN LAMP

USE OF COOKWEAR
Warning: To ensure a safe working distance is maintained between the control knobs and the pot, it is recommended that large pots are not used on the central, front burner of the 6 burner model. Always centralize pots over the burners and check that the pot is not too close to the control knobs.

MAINTENANCE GAS/ELECTRICAL

Prior to any operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical system. For long-life to the equipment, a general cleaning operation must take place periodically, bearing in mind the following:

• the glass, steel and/or enamelled parts must be cleaned with suitable non-abrasive or corrosive products (found on the market). Avoid chlorine-base products (bleach, etc.);
• avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances on the working area (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.).
• the wall baffle and the small covers (mobile parts of the burner) must be washed frequently with boiling water and detergent, taking care to remove every possible encrustation. Dry carefully and check that none of the burner holes is fully or partially clogged;
•  the electrical parts are cleaned with a damp cloth and are lightly greased with lubricating oil when still warm.
•  the stainless steel grids of the working area, after having been heated, take on a bluish tint which does not deteriorate the quality. To bring colour back to its original state, use a slightly abrasive product.

MAINTENANCE VITRO-CERAMIC SURFACE

First of all remove stray food bits and grease drops from the cooking surface with the special scraper (fig. 4). Then clean the hot area as best as possible with Bar Keepers Friend or other similar products with a paper-towel, then rinse again with water and dry with a clean cloth. Pieces of aluminium foil and plastic material which have inadvertently melted or sugar remains or highly high sugar content food have to be removed immediately from the hot cooking area with the special scraper (Fig. 4).-This is to avoid any possible damage to the surface of the top. Under no circumstances should abrasive sponges or irritating chemical detergents be used such as oven sprays or spot removers.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS
