Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use aluminium foil to cover the burners or hob body.
• Cooking vessels or griddle plates should be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
• All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.
• If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob.
• It is not recommended to use earthenware or steatite (soapstone) pans to cook or heat food.

3.2 First use

1. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from accessories.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance accessories (see 4 Cleaning and maintenance).

3.3 Using the hob

All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner ignites. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to O and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: In this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.

In case of an accidental switching off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas cock is open. Return the knob to O and wait at least 60 seconds before lighting it again.

Correct positioning of the flame-spreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes in the burners are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly engaged in the burner holes.

Correct positioning of the grids

The grids over the burners must be positioned in parallel to the control panel, not perpendicular.

Each type of burner must be associated with its own grid.

Use the igniter and thermocouple indentations as a reference in order to correctly position the grid on the burner.

1 Practical tips for using the hob

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over.

Cookware diameters:

Auxiliary: 12 - 18 cm.
- Semi-rapid: 14 - 24 cm .
- Reduced rapid: 18 - 24 cm .
Rapid: 20 - 26 cm.
Ultra-rapid: 20 - 30cm

To prevent burns or damage to the hob or the counter top during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

Using a griddle

A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle:

• The griddle can be pre-heated with the burner on maximum power for no more than 10 minutes.
  It is recommended you reduce the power during cooking;
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle;
• Leave a gap of at least 150mm between the edge of the griddle and the side wall;
• Do not place the griddle over more than one burner at the same time.

4 Cleaning and maintenance

4.1 Instructions

Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts made of steel or that have metallic surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).
• If it comes into contact with aggressive detergents, hard water or spills (cooking water, sauces, coffee, etc.), clean immediately after having let the hob cool down.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain removers and metallic sponges) on glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable components such as the hob grids, flame-spreader crowns and burner caps in a dishwasher.

4.2 Cleaning the appliance

To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Food stains or residues

Do not use steel sponges and sharp scrapers as they will damage the surface.

Use normal, non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cooking hob grids

Remove the grids and clean them in lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob.

The continuous contact between the grids and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation the ignitors and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps

For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader crowns and the burner caps can be removed. Wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry. Refit the flame-spreader crowns making sure that they are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.

5 Installation

5.1 Safety instructions

Heat production during appliance operation Risk of fire

• Check that the carcass material is heat resistant.
• Check that the carcase has the required openings.

Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperature-resistant (>90^) , otherwise they might warp over time.

The minimum clearance between a ventilation hood and the cooking surface must be at least the distance indicated in the ventilation hood installation instructions.

The minimum clearances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in the mounting illustrations.

5.2 Section cut from the countertop

The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman.

Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (>90^)

Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the countertop of the piece of furniture.

Failure to install the double-layer wooden base exposes the user to possible accidental contact with sharp or hot parts.

Fixing brackets

Screw the fixing brackets (A) into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure.

Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob, if necessary, without damaging it.

Hob seal

With glass hob

To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the countertop, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer edge of the hob before assembly.

With steel hob

To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the work surface, put the insulating seal provided in position before assembly.

1. Refer to the dimensions in the figure, bearing in mind that the long front side must brush against the hole.

1. Use light pressure to make the seal stick to the edge around the hole cut in the worktop.
2. Carefully trim the surplus edge away from the seal.

5.4 Gas connection

Gas leak Danger of explosion

After carrying out any operation, check that the tightening torque of gas connections is between 10Nm and 15Nm .
- If required, use a pressure regulator that complies with current regulations.
- At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a flame.
- The hoses should not come into contact with moving parts and should not be crushed in any way.

General information

Connection to the gas mains can be made using a rigid copper pipe or a continuous wall steel hose in compliance with the provisions established by the applicable standard.

For supplying it with other types of gas, see chapter "5.5 Adaptation to different types of gas". The gas inlet connection is threaded 12 external gas (ISO 228-1).
