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.

Before installing your new cooking hob, check that the measurements are correct. The following instructions are only valid in countries whose symbol appears on the appliance. To adapt the appliance to conditions of use in your country, always follow the technical instructions. It is of the utmost importance that the place in which the appliance is to be installed should have suitable, fully-functioning ventilation.

IF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY.

This is what your new cooking hob looks like.

The gas burners.

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

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 burners on your cooking hob are fitted with safety valves (which stop the flow of gas if one of the burners accidentally goes out), light the burners in the same way, though you should continue to hold in the control knob for a few seconds after the flame lights. If the burner does not light, repeat the process, this time keeping the control knob pressed in for 10 seconds.

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 using this gas appliance, the kitchen will become hot and humid, so you must ensure it is well ventilated. Either keep the natural ventilation openings open or install an extractor hood. If you use the appliance for a long period, you may need additional ventilation – either open a window (though be careful of drafts) or increase the power of the extractor hood, if possible.

An orange-colored flame is normal and occurs in the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spillages, etc.

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. 1

Depending on the model, your hob may come with an essential supplementary pan support, for 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.). See Fig. 1. If you do not have this additional cradle support, the manufacturer's technical service can supply you with one (code no. 363300).

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, burns or electric hotplates. If your hob has got 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.

Avoid spilling acidic liquids (such as lemon juice or vinegar) on your cooking hob.

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.

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

The ring cover of the triple-flame burner and stainless steel parts such as 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.
