Dear Customer,

We thank you and congratulate you on your choice.

This practical appliance, modern and functional, is manufactured using materials of the highest quality which are subject to strict Quality Control throughout the entire manufacturing process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands for perfect cooking.

We strongly advise you to read through and follow these simple instructions, to ensure that you get perfect results from the moment you first use this appliance. This book contains important information, not only on how to use the appliance, but also on maintenance and safety.

When our products are being transported, they need suitable protective packaging. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare essentials, and all materials are all completely recyclable. You too can contribute to the conservation of the environment by depositing the packaging in the nearest recycling container. Used oil should not be poured down the sink as this causes serious damage to the environment. Place it in a sealed container and take it to an appropriate collection point, or if this is not possible place it in the rubbish bin, (it will end up in a controlled dump, which is not the best option but here it will not contaminate ground water). Both you and your children will be grateful.

Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it, and then take it to a centre for recovering recyclable materials. Ask your local authorities for details of the centre nearest your home.

This is what your new cooking hob looks like

The gas burners

Fig. 1

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 1.

To ignite a burner, press down the control knob for the burner you wish to use and turn it to the left, to the ignition position, and hold it there for a few seconds at most until the burner ignites, then let go, and set it to the position you want. If the burner does not light, repeat the process.

If the igniters are dirty, this makes the burner harder to light, so you should keep them as clean as possible. Do this with a small brush and make sure that the ignition sparker is not hit or knocked violently.

If the burner goes out (e.g. a draught) when in use, the appliance will switch the hotplate on again automatically. If this ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. as a result of boiled-over liquid on the burner), the flow of gas to this burner is interrupted and an acoustic signal is emitted. Turn the control knob to ● and check whether the cause can be rectified using the table on page 11.

Every hotplate features a safety pilot!

This means that if the flame ever goes out (e.g. is extinguished by boiled-over liquid), the flow of gas is interrupted.

The safety system will indicate any anomalies in its working through acoustic signals (see "Home troubleshooting" section).

The appliance switches off automatically after 6 hours of operation. Turn all the control knobs to the ● position and then you can turn the appliance on again.

To turn off the burner, turn the control knob to the right, to setting ●

With the modern and functional cooking hob you have purchased, you can have progressive taps fitted which allow you to adjust the flame to the desired heat.

Depending on the model, your cooking hob may have a triple-flame burner, which is very practical if you wish to cook with cookware such as paella pans or Chinese woks (to create all kinds of Asian dishes).

When you are using this gas appliance, it will make the kitchen hot and humid, and therefore you must ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor hood. If you use your appliance for a long period of time, you may need extra ventilation – either open a window (though watch out for draughts) or turn up the power on the extractor hood, if possible.

Overheating protection

The hob is equipped with overheating protection to protect the electronics. This switches all the burners off in the event of overheating and the “power on/off” indicators in all the burners and the main switch flash.

Turn all control knobs to the ● position. Wait until the appliance has cooled down sufficiently. Now you can switch on the appliance as usual.

Recommended diameter of cookware (in cm)

Depending on the model:

BURNER	MINIMUM ∅ PAN	MAXIMUM ∅ PAN
Triple-flame burner 22 cm
Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm
Semi-rapid burner	12 cm 20 cm
Auxiliary burner 10 cm 12 cm

Additional pan supports

Fig. 2

Depending on the model, your hob may come with an essential supplementary pan support, on the triple flame burner for pans with a diameter of more than: 26 cm, roasting dishes, clay pots and all sorts of concave pans (woks, etc.), Fig 2. If you do not have this additional cradle support, the manufacturer's technical service can supply you with one (code no. 363300/484138).

Pan support for coffee pot: depending on the model, your cooking hob may include an additional coffee pot support, which is exclusively for use on the auxiliary burner with cookware of a diameter smaller than 10 cm. If you do not have this additional pot support, the manufacturer's technical service can supply you with one (code no. 184200).

The manufacturer declines all responsibility if these additional pan supports are not used or are used incorrectly.

Warnings when in use for cooking

NO

Do not use small diameter cookware on large burners. The flame should never come up the sides of the cookware.

YES

Always use cookware that is suitable for each burner, so as to avoid wasting gas and discolouring the cookware.

Never cook without a lid or with the lid half off – you are wasting energy.

Always place the lid on the cookware.

Never cook without a lid or with the lid half off - you are wasting energy.

Only use pots, saucepans and frying pans with thick, flat bottoms.

Do not place cookware on one side of a burner, as it could tip over. Do not use cookware with a large diameter on the burners near the controls, which when placed on the middle of the burner may touch the controls or be so close to them that they increase the temperature in this area and may cause damage.

Always place the cookware right over the burner, not to one side.

Never place cookware directly on top of the burners.

Place the cookware on top of the pan support.

Do not use excessive weight and do not hit the hob with heavy objects.

Handle cookware carefully when they are on the hob.

Cleaning and care

NO

NEVER use abrasive products, sharp instruments, steel scourers, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food that have stuck to the hob, pan supports, burners, or electric hotplates. If your hob has a glass or aluminium panel, do not use knives, scrapers, or similar implements for cleaning the joins with the metal.

DO NOT use steam cleaning machines to clean the hob; this could damage it.

YES

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge, water, and soap. Wipe away all spilled liquids as soon as spillage occurs to save unnecessary effort at a later stage.

In order to keep the burners and the pan supports clean, they should be periodically cleaned by submerging them in soapy water and scrubbing them with a non-metallic brush so that all holes and grooves are perfectly clean and free from dirt. This will ensure correct flames. Always dry the burner covers and the pan supports if they have become wet.

Avoid spilling acidic liquids (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on your cooking hob. Try not to spill salt on the surface of the electric hotplate.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner covers are correctly placed on the burner's flame diffuser.

If prolonged use has worn away the surface of the electrical hot plates, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil or other maintenance products that are widely available.

The ring cover of the triple-flame burner and stainless steel parts such as hotplate rings, grease pans, and the area around the burners may become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL because of the high temperatures. Each time the appliance is used, these parts should be cleaned with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

After washing the pan supports, dry them completely before cooking with them again. Drops of water or damp patches on the surfaces when you begin cooking may cause deterioration of the enamel.

If the pan supports on your cooking hob are fitted with rubber rests, take care when you clean them, as they might come off, leaving your pan support without protection, and it may scratch the cooking hob.

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

If your hob has an aluminium panel beneath the controls, do not use a scourer to clean the panel, because this could destroy the printed symbols.

Home troubleshooting

You don't always need to call the technical assistance service. Very often you can solve the problem on your own. The following table contains a few pieces of advice. Important note:

Only authorised personnel from our Technical Services Department can carry out work on the gas and electrical supply systems.
