ENERGY LABELLING/ECODESIGN

- Commission regulation (EU) No 66/2014 (implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council).

Reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with the above requirements:

• Standard EN30-2-1 (hobs: gas fired burners).

USE OF THE APPLIANCE, ENERGY SAVING TIPS HOB

GAS FIRED BURNERS

• It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the size 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.
• Avoid keeping a burner on without something on it (without pot).

PROVISION FOR VENTILATION

• The appliance should be installed into a room or space with an air supply in accordance with the current version of BS 5440-2: 2000.
• For rooms with a volume of less than 5m ^3 - permanent ventilation of 100 cm ^2 free area must be provided.
• For rooms with a volume of between 5 m ^3 and 10 m ^3 a permanent ventilation of 50 cm ^2 free area will be required unless the room has a door which opens directly to the outside air in which case no permanent ventilation is required.
• For rooms with a volume greater than 10 m ^3 - no permanent ventilation is required.

Note: Regardless of room size, all rooms containing the appliance must have direct access to the outside air via an openable window or equivalent.

- Where there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, the current version of BS 5440-2: 2000 should be consulted to determine the correct amount of free area ventilation requirements.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

The appliance must be installed in compliance with applicable local regulations concerning ventilation and the evacuation of exhaust gases.

Intensive and prolonged use may require extra ventilation, e.g. opening a window, or more efficient ventilation increasing the mechanical suction power if this is fitted.

The room where the gas appliance is to be installed must have a natural flow of air so that the gas can burn (in compliance with applicable local regulations).

The flow of air must come directly from one or more openings made in the outside walls with a free area of at least 100 cm^2 (or refer to applicable local regulations).

The openings should be near the floor and preferably on the side opposite the exhaust for combustion products and must be made so that they cannot be blocked from either the inside or the outside.

When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air can come from an adjacent room which is ventilated as required, as long as it is not a bed room or a danger area (in compliance with applicable local regulations).

In this case, the kitchen door must allow the passage of the air.

DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION

Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the products of combustion of the gas appliance to be discharged (fig. 27).

If this is not possible, an electric fan may be used, attached to the external wall or the window; the fan should have a capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate of 3-5 times the total volume of the kitchen (fig. 28).

The fan can only be installed if the room has suitable vents to allow air to enter, as described under the heading "Choosing suitable surroundings".

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.

CAUTION:

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.

CAUTION:

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).

How To Use The Cooktop

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 4) 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:

- symbol

closed valve

- symbol

maximum opening or flow

- symbol

minimum opening or flow

■ The maximum opening position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum opening 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 opening positions, and never between the maximum opening and closed positions.

N.B. When the cooktop is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

NOTE: The knob and symbols may vary.

Caution! Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.

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

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

1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise (fig. 5) to the full flame position marked by the "★" symbol (fig. 4); hold the knob in until the flame has been lit. In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

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

3. 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.

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.

The burners and pans must be used in accordance with the following instructions:

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS

BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM

Auxiliary 6 cm 14 cm

Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm

Rapid 24 cm 26 cm

Triple-ring compact 26 cm 28 cm

Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm

Wok (*) - Max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

(*) only for the models with Triple-ring compact, Triple-ring 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.

CAUTION: Make sure the pans are central to the burner for maximum stability and greater efficiency.

Make sure the pans are not in contact with the control knobs, otherwise the flame could overheat the knobs and permanently damage them.

WOK STAND (OPTIONAL)

(figs. 7a - 7b, 8a - 8b)

This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the triple-ring compact, triple ring (depending on models).

Warning:

• Do not use woks without this special wok stand correctly in place.
• Do not use the wok stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.

IMPORTANT:

The special grille for wok pans MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triple-ring compact, triple ring (depending on models).

IMPORTANT! Do not use cast iron pans and plates, or pots in terracotta, stoneware or refractory material for grilling or toasting: RISK of glass breaking due to extreme heat transmission by irradiation.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT GRILLING

• When grilling food, only use aluminium griddle pans (these may also have a non-stick coating) measuring up to 35x28 cm max.
• Only use the largest burner when grilling.
• Do not position the griddle pan over several burners at once.
  • To avoid permanently damaging the glass hob, never preheat empty griddle pans for longer than 5 minutes. Then lower the heat and place the food in the griddle pan.
• Never exceed 50 minutes' operation.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

• Do not operate the cooking zones without pans, or when the pans are empty.
• Use pans with a diameter suited to the size of the burner (see chapter "CHOICE OF THE BURNER").
  • Always make sure the pan is in the centre of the cooking zone.
• Do not use the glass surface of the hob as a place to put pans/other objects when you are not using them.
• Only use the accessories supplied with the appliance.

IMPORTANT! Flame spreaders must not be used on the burners. Risk of breaking the glass hob!

Cleaning and Maintenance

GENERAL ADVICE

• Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the electrical power supply.
• Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when handling or cleaning of this appliance.
• Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or maintenance except by suitable qualified personnel.
• It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
• Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.
• Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
• Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
• 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.

GASTAPS

• 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 (fig. 9).

The burner plates can be removed ONLY by an authorised 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 must be cleaned using a sponge and soapy water or other suitable non-abrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth.

Warning! Not dishwasher safe.

If left on the surface for a length of time, acidic substances such as lemon juice, tomato sauces and passata, vinegar and other similar products will damage the surface and dull its shine.

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.

Check that the electrode/s "S" (figs. 10, 11, 12) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.

Check that the probe/s "T" (figs. 10, 12, 13) 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.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE AUXILIARY, SEMI-RAPID AND RAPID BURNER (depending on your model, your cooktop may only have some of these burners - see pages 6, 7)

It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor "F" and the cap "C" have been correctly positioned (see figs. 10, 11) - failure to do so can cause serious problems.

CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE TRIPLE-RING COMPACT AND TRIPLE-RING (depending on your model, your cooktop may only have some of these burners - see pages 6, 7)

The burner must be correctly positioned; failure to do so can cause serious problems.

Fit the flame spreader to the housing as shown by the arrows (see figs. 12, 13).

The burner correctly positioned must not rotate (fig. 14).
