• Correctly selected cookware will enable optimum cooking time and gas consumption. Pan diameter is the most important parameter.
• Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pan.
• For combustion, the gas also needs air. If a pan is too large, air supply to the burner is insufficient; as a result, combustion effect is lesser.
  • Always place the pan right over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over. Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.
• Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single pan. Do not use grill pans, earthenware casserole dishes, etc. for a long period of time on maximum power specially on cristall glass gas hobs.
• Pans should be placed on the hob carefully. Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.
• Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner. Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance.
• Stainless steel working table can burnish when subjected to excessive heat. Therefore we don't recommend prolonged cooking with soapstone, earthenware pans or cast iron plates. Avoid the use of aluminum foil to protect the working table during cooking operation.
• Do not use cast iron plates or griddles for cooking or heating food on the burners (check the sizes of pot allowed for each kind of burner) specially on cristall glass gas hobs
• Cooktop should not be used as a worktop. Sharp objects can cause scratches.
• Preparing food in thin aluminum of plastic containers on hot cooking zones is not allowed. Do not place any plastic objects or aluminum foil on the cooktop.
• If sugar is spilt on a hot cooktop, or a sugar-laden food, immediately wipe the hob.
• Don't use pan, pots, grills or grilled stones, of bigger size than the maximum specified for every single burner; in particular you must not cover more burners simultaneously. The accumulation of heat could damage the appliance.

User's instructions

This appliance must be used for the purpose it was designed for, i.e. domestic cooking. Any other use is considered to be improper and therefore dangerous.

The manufacturer will accept no liability for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or irrational use.

Using the burners

• If the burners are not used for several days, wait a few seconds before lighting them in order to release any air from the pipes.
• As the cook top burners are fitted with an automatic ignition, to light them simply press and turn the handle to the small star. The appliance uses a spark ignition generator.
• If the flame does not ignite within five seconds, turn the knob back to the 0 position and repeat the procedure; if the electric ignition should not work due to a power failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can also be ignited using a match or a gas lighter.
• For models with a safety tap (which interrupt the gas flow should the flame accidentally go out) the burners are ignited as described above, but ensure the knob is pressed in for 5 to 6 seconds after the flame has ignited. After this time, which gives the safety device enough time to cut-in, the flame will be on permanently.
• The flame can then be set between the maximum and minimum level. Any setting between 0 and the large flame is not recommended, as the flame is not stable in this interval and may be extinguished.

WARNING: once the cook top has been cleaned, ensure that the burners are firmly in their seats and do not interfere with the igniter.

To get the best from the burners, use flat-bottomed pots with a diameter suited to the burner being used.

For smaller diameter pots and pans (coffee and tea pots, etc.), the power of the burner being used has to be regulated in order to ensure that the flame laps the bottom of the pot without spilling over. Do not use pots with concave or convex bottoms.

WARNING: if the burner flame is extinguished accidentally, turn off the knob and leave it for at least one minute before trying to re-ignite it.

- To extinguish the flame and close the burner gas supply, rotate the control knob to the 'OFF' position.

CAUTION: The gas cooking appliance use may cause heat, humidity and products of combustion in the room where is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep open any natural ventilation holes or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the hob is in use. Young children should be kept away.

CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

	Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance. The steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.The appliance should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use, after cooling down.To avoid water marks and limescale deposits, use a soft cloth to dry surfaces that have been cleaned with water.Food that has boiled over can cause discolouration of the burner parts and the stainless steel cooktop.Remove any soiling immediately.To avoid damaging the outer surfaces of your appliance, do not use:cleaning agents containing soda, alkalines, ammonia, acids or chloridescleaning agents containing descaling agentsstain or rust removersabrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleanerssolvent-based cleaning agentsdishwasher cleanergrill and oven cleanersglass cleaning agentshard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scourers, brushes or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agentssharp pointed objects (these can damage the seal between the frame and the worktop).
Stainless steel surfaces	Clean stainless steel surfaces using a microfibre cloth or with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. In the case of stubborn dried-on soiling, soak first.Finally, dry with a soft cloth.The stainless steel cooktop cleaner can be used to clean the frame when required.Apply with an even pressure following the direction of the "grain".The care product for stainless steel can be used after cleaning to help keep your appliance looking good and to hinder resoiling.Apply sparingly with a soft cloth following the instructions on the packaging.
Printed surfaces	The printing canbe damaged if soiling (e.g. food or fluids that contained salt, olive oil) is not removed immediately.Remove any soiling immediately.Do not use any stainless steel cleaner on printed surfaces.This would rub off the print.
Pan support and control knob	Do not clean the pan support in a dishwasher.Remove the pan support. Clean the pan support and the control knob with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Stubborn soiling should be soaked first.After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a clean cloth.
Burners	Do not clean any parts of the burner in a dishwasher.The burner should be dismantled and then cleaned by hand using a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge.Parts of the burner that cannot be removed should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.The ignition candle and the candle flame failure device should be very carefully wiped clean using a well wrung out cloth.Do not let the ignitor get wet. If it gets wet, it will not spark.After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a clean cloth.Make sure that the flame slits are clean and completely dry.The surface of the burner crown cover will become more matt with time. This is quite normal and will not affect the operation of the cooktop.

Glass surface

Fig.3

Fig.4

Fig.5

After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool down and clean it; otherwise, even the smallest food residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next time you use the appliance.

For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic surface, use special conditioning agents which form a protective layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt.

Before each use, wipe any dust or other particles from the hob surface and pan bottom as these could scratch the surface (Figure 1).

Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch the hob surface. Glass ceramic surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays and inappropriate or insufficiently shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive cleaning aids are used on cooking zone edges, or if pans with damaged bottom or used.

Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then, wipe the surface dry (Figure 3). Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar however, do not use this solution to clean the frame (only with some models, as it may become dull. Do not use aggressive sprays or decalcification agents (Figure 3).

Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic hobs. When using these products, follow the instructions provided by their respective manufacturers.

Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly removed, as they could damage the glass-ceramic hob when the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).

Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper. make sure the plastic part of the scraper does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. Be careful not to cut yourself with the scraper!

Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the glassceramic surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should be removed from the glass-ceramic surface as soon as possible, although the cooking zone may still be hot (Figure 4). Any change in the color of the glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation

or the stability of the surface. Such discolorations are mostly a result of burnt food residues or use of cookware made of materials such as aluminum or copper; these stains are difficult to remove.

Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates to the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the appliance and do not affect its functionality directly. Such errors cannot be the subject of a warranty claim.

Important
