4. Assemble the parts, and follow the same procedure backward.
5. Attach the label with the new type of gas supply near the gas supply pipe.
   You can find this label in the package supplied with the appliance.
   If the supply gas pressure is changeable or different from the necessary pressure, you must fit an applicable pressure adjuster on the gas supply pipe.

3.4 Adjustment of minimum level
To adjust the minimum level of the burners:

1. Light the burner.

2. Turn the knob to the minimum position.

3. Remove the knob and the gasket. WARNING!
   Pay attention not to damage the gasket. Do not use a sharp tool to remove it.

4. With a thin screwdriver, adjust the bypass screw position (A).

5. If you change:
   • from natural gas G20 20 mbar to liquid gas, fully tighten the bypass screw in.
   • from liquid gas to natural gas G20 20 mbar, undo the bypass screw approximately 1/4 of a turn (1/2 of a turn for Multi Crown burner).

6. Reassemble the gasket and the knob.
   WARNING!
   Make sure to place the gasket exactly in the original position.
   WARNING!
   Make sure the flame does not go out when you quickly turn the knob from the maximum position to the minimum position.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 General information

• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob.

Stainless steel

• Wash stainless steel parts with water, and then dry them with a soft cloth.
• To remove burnt food, fat and stubborn stains let them soak in a small amount of mild detergent for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Use cleaning products designed specifically for cleaning stainless steel in order to protect the steel surfaces.
• Do not use cleaning products containing corrosive chemicals such as chlorides, do not clean the surface with disinfectants, stain or rust removers, and immersion cleaners.

7.2 Pan supports

**** The pan supports are not resistant to washing in a dishwasher. They must be washed by hand.

1. Remove the pan supports to easily clean the hob.
   **** Be very careful when you replace the pan supports to prevent the hob top from damage.

2. The enamel coating occasionally can have rough edges, so be careful when you wash the pan supports by hand and dry them. If necessary, remove stubborn stains with a paste cleaner.

3. After you clean the pan supports, make sure that they are incorrect positions.

4. For the burner to operate correctly, make sure that the arms of the pan supports are aligned with the center of the burner.

7.3 Cleaning the hob

• Remove immediately: melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar, and food with sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take care to avoid burns.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob with a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• To clean the enameled parts, caps, and crowns, wash them with warm soapy water and dry them carefully before you put them back on.

7.4 Cleaning the spark plug
This feature is obtained through a ceramic ignition candle with a metal electrode. Keep these components well clean to prevent difficult lighting and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

7.5 Periodic maintenance
Speak to your local Authorised Service Centre periodically to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
