There are indications to show which burner each control

knob operates. Fig. 1.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts

and pan supports are correctly installed for the

appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3-4.

Switching on manually

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to the required setting.

2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,

matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. Fig. 1Fig. 2 Fig. 3

While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are

produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer

necessary to press down the control knob).

2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off

setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and

hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,

switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.

Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the

the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this

device is active, switch on the burner as usual and,

without releasing the control knob, press and hold it

down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the

power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the

burner is operating.

When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off

odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate

a malfunction; they will disappear in time.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound

(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means

that the safety device is no longer operating.

Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition

sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them

periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind

that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by

the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.

The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas

appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the

kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the natural

ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system

If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,

you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a

window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing

the hob's ventilation, if possible).

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off

the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight

it for at least one minute.

Wok pan A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind

of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or

Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be

stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or

steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a

saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and

size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients.

When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly

and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means

that food takes less time to cook and also requires less

oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when

cooking with a wok pan.

Depending on the model, the hob may include the

following accessories. These are also available from the

The following advice is intended to help you save energy

and prevent pan damage:

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.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on

the hob. Pans may tip over.

Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is

properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.

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

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight

Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are

correctly positioned before using the appliance13

Cleaning and maintenance

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner

parts once they have cooled down. If any bits are left

(overcooked food, drops of grease etc.), however few,

they will become stuck to the surface and more difficult

to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for

the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water

and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that

these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and

the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.

Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start

of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the

burner covers are correctly placed on the burner flame

Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may

scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp

objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp

implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food

If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never

use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it

Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to

clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims,

the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will

save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and

vegetables will scratch the glass surface.

Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which

may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate

immediately, using the glass scraper.14
