6. Burner control knob (2)

7. Burner control knob (3)

8. Burner control knob (4)

NOTES:

• The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.
• The appliance has a safety valve system fitted, the flow of gas will be stopped if and when the flame should accidentally go out.

CAUTION:
If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to relight.

• Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed. Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or
  by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct that vents to the outside.

• If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood if fitted and vented to the outside.

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs

which control the safety valves. Turning the knob, so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel, achieves the following functions:

• The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
• To reduce the gas flow to minimum rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
• Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and closed positions.

Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.
N.B. When the cooktop is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions.

NOTE:
The knob and symbols may vary.

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise
   to the full flame position marked by the “  ” or “ ”symbol (fig. 2.1a or 2.1b); hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.

2. In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

3. Wait for a few seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).

4. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow. To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed “ ” position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
Note: If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil. DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs. Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob. The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used. As an indication, the burners and the pots must be used in the following way:

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS

BURNERS| MINIMUM| MAXIMUM
Auxiliary| 6 cm| 14 cm
Semi-rapid| 16 cm| 24 cm
Double-ring compact| 26 cm| 28 cm
Wok (*)| –| Max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases

(*) only for the models with Double-ring compact burner and with wok pan adapter supplied
It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste. A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot. Too large a pot can cause damage to the burner and surrounding hob area.

WOK STAND (OPTIONAL)

Only flat bottom pans of the correct size are to be placed on the pan support above the double-ring compact burner. When using a WOK, the supplied wok stand must be placed onto the pan stand to avoid any faulty operation of the double- ring compact burner. The wok should not be placed directly onto the pan support without the use of the supplied wok stand.

IMPORTANT: When using the wok stand it MUST ONLY BE PLACED over the pan support for the double-ring compact burner. Under no circumstances should the wok stand be placed under the pan supports. Incorrect placement of the wok stand in this manner may impinge the flame resulting in incomplete combustion and give rise to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO).

The pan stand and wok stand shown is for illustrative purposes only and may differ slightly in shape to the one supplied with your product.

• IMPORTANT: Never use abrasive products (e.g. certain type of sponges) and/or aggressive products (e.g. caustic soda, detergents containing corrosive substances) that could irreversibly damage the surfaces.
• Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.
• Important: The manufacturer declines all liability for possible damage caused by the use of unsuitable products to clean the appliance.
  WARNING! When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

GLASS SURFACE

• Remove spillages and other types of incrustations by using only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
• If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
• All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
• Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
• Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.
• If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove. This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently damage the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
• Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the glass surface.
• Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.
• Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

ENAMELLED SURFACES
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products. Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth. If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

GAS TAPS

• Do not let cleaning products come into contact with the valves.
• Periodic lubrication of the gas taps must be carried out by specialist personnel only.
• In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.

IMPORTANT WARNING
NEVER unscrew the burner plate fixing screws.

The burner plates can be removed ONLY by an authorized service agent. Damage to the appliance will occur if not observing this condition and this may result in serious injury to the user. The manufacturer declines every responsibility for any inconvenience resulting from the inobservance of this condition.

BURNERS
These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
Warning: Not dishwasher safe.
After cleaning, the burners and their flame spreaders must be well dried and correctly replaced. It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader and the cap have been correctly positioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems with correct combustion and may cause irreversible damage to the hob surface. Check that the electrode/s “S” (figs. 3.1, 3.3) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking. Check that the probe/s “T” (figs. 3.1, 3.3) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves. Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not in place.

• Continuous use may cause a change in the glaze around the burners and grids, corresponding to the areas exposed to the heat. This is a natural phenomenon and does not prevent the parts from working properly.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE AUXILIARY AND SEMI-RAPID BURNER
It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor “F” and the cap “C” have been correctly positioned.

failure to do so can cause serious problems.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE DOUBLE-RING COMPACT BURNER
The burner must be correctly positioned; failure to do so can cause serious problems with correct combustion and may cause irreversible damage to the hob surface. Fit the flame spreader to the housing as shown by the arrows.

The burner correctly positioned must not rotate .

Then position the cap “A” and the ring “B”.

PAN SUPPORTS

These parts must be cleaned using a sponge and soapy water or other suitable non-abrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth.
