Warning – Risk of poisoning!

The kitchen will become hot and humid and combustion products produced when this gas appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in operation: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the appliance may require additional or more effective ventilation: open a window or increase the power of the ventilation system.

Warning – Risk of burns!

• The burners and their immediate vicinity get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children under 8 years old well away from this appliance.

Gas burners

Switching on manually

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2. Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or a match) against the burner

Automatic ignition

If the hob has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the highest power level. While the control knob is held down, all the burners will generate sparks. The flame ignites. Wait a few seconds.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required position.

If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the steps described above. This time, hold the control knob down for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Warning – Risk of deflagration!

If the flame does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off the burner and open a window or the door to the room. Wait at least one minute before switching the burner on again.
Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small, non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.

Safety system

Your hob is equipped with a safety system (thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners are accidentally switched off.

To ensure that this device is active:

• Switch on the burner as usual.
• Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

• Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 settings.
• A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault – this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Warnings

• It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.
• When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
• An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
  If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least 1 minute.

Instructions for use

Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of the appliance.
The following recommendations can help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware:

• Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.
• Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a thick, flat base.
• Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.
• Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over. Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.
• Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.
• Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance. Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
• Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

• Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.
• After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
• The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.
• Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.
• If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.
• Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.
• After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

• Do not remove the control knobs when cleaning the appliance. The appliance may be damaged if moisture finds its way inside.
• Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

Maintenance

• Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
• Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.
• It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our Technical Assistance Service (code 311499) is used regularly.

Caution!

• The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
• Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
