Grease tray Burner up to 3 kW Burner up Burner up to 1,75 kW Burner up Control knob to 1,75 kW to 1 kW Grease tray Pan supportGas burners Each control knob indicates which burner it controls. To light a burner, push in the knob for the burner you wish to use and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction to the lighting position. Hold the knob at the maximum position for a few seconds until the burner ignites and then release and set the knob to the desired setting. If the burner does not light at the first attempt, repeat the operation. If your hob does not come with any kind of automatic ignition system, then light the burners with a naked flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.). If the spark plugs are dirty, then a fault may occur in the ignition system. Keep them completely clean. Clean the spark plugs using a small brush, remembering that the plugs must not receive any kind of violent impact. If your hob is equipped with burners with safety valves which prevent gas from being released should the burners accidentally go out, proceed to light as described above, but keep the control knob pressed in until the burners light and then for a few more seconds once alight. If complete ignition does not occur, repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed in for approx. 10 seconds To turn the burners off, turn the control knob in a Your modern functional hob is equipped with progressive valves which permit you to find the perfect flame setting between maximum and minimum. Depending on the model that you have purchased, your hob may come with a triple-flame burner, the perfect system for cooking paellas, using woks, etc. Gas appliances create both heat and humidity in the room they are used in. Make sure that your kitchen is properly ventilated: keep natural ventilation outlets open or install a mechanical ventilation system (extractor fan). When using your appliance for a prolonged period of time, it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation e.g. by opening a window (without creating a draught) or turning up the setting on your mechanical ventilation system.

When centred on the burner, they could touch the controls or raise the temperature in the area. This may damage the hob. Do not place receptacles directly on top of burners. Do not use excessive weights or strike the hob with heavy objects. Handle receptacles on the hob with care. Warnings concerning cooking: Do not use receptacles with uneven bases. They lengthen cooking times and increase energy consumption. Only use thick-,flat-based saucepans, frying pans and casseroles. Do not cook without lids or with lids only partially covering receptacles. You are wasting energy. Always use lids. Always place receptacles in the middle of burners. Always place receptacle on the pans support. Make sure that the metal grids and the tops of the burners are correctly positioned before using them. Do not use small receptacles on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of receptacles. Always use suitably sized receptacles on each burner. This helps avoid excessive gas consumption and prevents receptacles from getting tarnished. Do not use two burners or heat sources for a single recipient. Do not use baking trays, earthenware dishes, etc... at full heat for a long time Only use one recipient per burner. Use the extra mental grid on the burner with three flames. 9Cleaning and maintenance: If the coating on the electric plates has worn off through use, smear them with a few drops of oil or one of the maintenance products available on the market. The high temperatures suffered by the cover on the triple-flame burner ring and the stainless steel parts on your hob (plate rings, grease trays, area around burners, etc) may become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after use with a product suitable for stainless steel. After washing the pans support, dry them thoroughly before cooking with them again. The presence of droplets of water or dampness at the beginning of the cooking process may damage the enamel surface. Be careful with the feet on the metal grids when cleaning them; if they are detached, the grid may scratch the glass next time it is used. DON'Ts DOs Do not use scouring powder, over cleaner sprays or abrasive pads that may scratch the glass. Never use sharp objects such as knives or wire wool to remove the remains of food that has become encrusted onto the surface. Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements for cleaning the joins between the glass and the rims of the burners or the metal surrounds. Do not slide recipients over the glass as they may scratch it. Similarly, do not drop hard or sharp objects onto the glass. Avoid Knocking any part of the edge of the cooking plate. Grains of sand, which may, for example, come from cleaning vegetables, can scratch the glass surface. Clean the surface of the heating elements once they have cooled down, each time they are used. Even small amounts of dirt burn when it is switched on again. The burners and pans support must be cleaned regulary to keep them clean. This is done by submerging them in soaply water and scrubbing them them with a non-metal brush to keep the holes and slits free from obstruction so they can give a perfect flame. Dry the burner covers whenever wet or damp. After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure that the covers are properly in position on the flame diffuser. Once the appliance is cold, clean it with a sponge and soapy water. 10Troubleshooting ...if none of the electrical system works? -Faulty fuse. -Check the fuse in the main fuse box and -The automatic circuit breaker or mains differential has been triggered. -Check to see if the circuit breaker or a differential has been triggered in the mains ...if the electric ignition system does not work? -There may be food or cleaning product particles between the spark plugs and the burners. -The burners are wet. -Dry the burner covers and spark plugs carefully. -Check that the covers have been put in the proper position. -The covers on the burners are not in the right position. ...if the flame on the burners is not evenly distributed? -The burner components have not been assembled properly. -The gas outlets on the burners are dirty. -Put the components in their correct positions. -Clean the gas outlets on the burners. ...if the gas flow does not seem normal or there is no gas flow at all? -The gas flow has been cut at an intermediate stopcock. -If the gas is supplied from a gas bottle, it may be empty. - Open any intermediate stopcocks. -Replace the gas bottle with a full one. ...if the kitchen smells of gas? -One of the valves has been left open. -Possible leak on the gas bottle coupling. -Check to see if a valve has been left open. -Check that the coupling on the gas bottle is in order.
