7. USING THE HOB

Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burner rings, caps and grids have been fitted correctly.

In the wok burner, the flame spreader crowns must be correctly positioned in their seats.

Grid C provided is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).

Adapter D comes only with open grids models and is intended for use with small sized vessels.

Technical diagram showing four labeled views of a mechanical component with parts A, B, C, and D.

7.1 Ignition of the burners

On some models raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding burner by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or to the marking on it.

(Only where applicable)

Double-crown burners, controlled by two knobs, feature two ribs, a long one corresponding to the small inner burner and a short one to the outer burner.

Double-crown burners comprise an auxiliary and a rapid burner, controlled by two different knobs which permit to use both burners at the same time or to select one or the other as required.

The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise on any position between the high flame and the low flame symbol, until the burner is ignited. Concerning models with valves, push the knob for approximately 2 seconds in order to keep the flame burning and to activate the safety device. The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.

Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet even if the tap is open.

7.2 Practical advice for using the burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "7.3 Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob, at a distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.

8.1 Cleaning

Clean the top regularly every time you use it, obviously after it has cooled.

8.1.1 Regular daily cleaning of the hob

In order to clean and preserve the surface, always use specific products only, which do not contain abrasive substances or chlorine-based acid substances.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or residuals with non-scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.2 Cleaning of the hob components

Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out.

8.3 Preventive maintenance

This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent malfunctioning:

Burners: the burners must be cleaned after every use to ensure correct combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports.

Gas connection: the gas connection must be checked periodically (at least every 2 years). Each time the cooker is moved the connection may be stressed: test it for leakages using special sprays or a solution of soap and water.

Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected periodically (once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe appears rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas supply and replace the pipe with a new one.

Valves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be cleaned and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an authorised person.
