When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

USE OF HOB USER INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be dangerous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from improper use.

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.

If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape. For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

- push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the symbol.

- ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button

For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the symbol. The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being pressed.

If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat the operation.

For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.

ATTENTION: Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and burner caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVICE

For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as follows. See fig. pag. 11.

Hob type Burner type ∅ pan / pot (cm)
E;H. R/H front burner 12÷18
E;H. L/H front burner 10÷18
E;H. R/H rear burner	18÷24
E;H. L/H rear burner	18÷24
E.	Central burner	24÷28
H.	Central radial plate CX	do not overhang the radiant plate

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used. WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob to the off position and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.

To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing the lid down.

If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them. Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.

Warning use the electric ring/hotplate only after reading the paragraph related to choice of pans specifically with reference to "Use of electric hotplates".

USE OF ELECTRIC HOTPLATES OR CERAMIC ELEMENTS.

For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimise energy consumption, the following recommendations should be noted.

power setting	food stuff	No. setting ceramic element
OFF		0
LOW	Simmering, sauces, stews, milk puddings, poached eggs	1
MODERATE	Vegetables, frozen foods, boiling water	2
MEDIUM	Fresh Vegetables, pasta, fish, pancakes.	3
HIGH	Omelettes, steaks	4

The light indicates the hotplate is on irrespective of the power setting.

In the vetroceramic hobs a residual heat indicator light comes on and remains lit till the hob plate is cooled down.

Only pans which have smooth flat bases should be used on the electric hotplates. The size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and never smaller (see Fig. 10). The base of the pan should be dry and spillages should be avoided. Empty pans should not be left on the plates, nor should the plates left switched on without a pan.

(Ceramic hobs or similar): "WARNING - should any crack appear on the surface turn the appliance off to prevent potential electric shock.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the Hob, ensure the appliance has cooled down. Remove the plug from the socket or (if connected directly) switch off the electricity supply.

When cleaning the enamelled, varnished or chrome sections, use warm soapy water or a non caustic detergent. For stainless steel use an appropriate cleaning solution. Hotplates should only be cleaned with a cotton cloth coated with vaseline or seed oil.

Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaching agents or acids. Avoid any acid or alkaline substances (lemon, juice, vinegar etc.) on the enamelled, varnisched or stainless steel sections.

The burners can be cleaned with soapy water. To restore their original shine, use a household stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning, dry the burners and replace.

It is important the Burners are replaced correctly.

(For all hobs): "WARNING - do not use steam cleaners to clean the hobs".

Chromed grids and burners

Chromed grids and burners have the tendency to dark with the use.

This is a normal and inevitable phenomenon, but it doesn't jeopardize absolutely the functionality of the hob.

In anycase from our after sales service centre the spare parts are available.

COVER

The cover is available as optional accessory.

It is not possible to close the lid with the steak griddle placed over a burner.

WARNING - should any spillage occur on the lid ensure the liquid spilt is wiped off the lid before opening the lid and cause the liquid to reach any electric part.

WARNING - Before closing the cover, to protect it from excessive temperature changes, always wait until burners or plates have completely cooled down.
