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 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. 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.

The flame should not touch the sides of receptacles. Do not cook without lids or with lids only partially covering receptacles. You are wasting energy. Do not use receptacles with uneven bases. They lengthen cooking times and increase energy consumption. Do not place receptacles on burners off centre. They could tip over. Do not use wide-based receptacles on the burners nearest to the controls. 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. Always use suitably sized receptacles on each burner. This helps avoid excessive gas consumption and prevents receptacles from getting tarnished. Always use lids. Only use thick-,flat-based saucepans, frying pans and casseroles. Always place receptacles in the middle of burners. Always place receptacle Handle receptacles on the hob with care. Warnings concerning cooking: on the pans support. 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. If the pans support on your hob are supplied with rubber feet, be careful when cleaning as they may come off, leaving the pan support unprotected and scratching the hob surface. The cleaning product suitable for stainless steel must not be used in the area surrounding the control knobs. The indications (serigraphy) may get deleted. DON'Ts DOs Never use abrasive products, sharp objects, steel scouring pads, knives, etc., to remove stubborn food remains from the hob surface, pans support, burners or electric plates. Do not use steam appliances to clean the hob with. They could damage it. Do not allow acid products (vinegar, lemon juice, etc.) to come into contact with the hob. Try to prevent salt from coming into contact with the surface of the electric plate. The burners and pans support must be cleaned regularly to keep them clean. This is done by submerging them in soapy water and scrubbing 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. Remove all excess liquid immediately. This will help you avoid unnecessary effort later. 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. Remove all excess liquid immediately. This will help you avoid unnecessary effort later. If your hob comes with a glass or aluminium panel, do not use knives, scrapers or similar utensils to clean the join with the metal. 10Troubleshooting It is not always necessary to call the Service Centre.
