The hotplates and their immediate vicinity get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children under 8 years old well away from this appliance. Risk of burns!

If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners. Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so that gas escapes uncontrollably. Both can cause burns. Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position. Risk of burns!

If the residual heat indicator is not working, disconnect the hotplate and notify the Technical Assistance Service. Risk of fire!

Accessories Depending on the model, the hob may include the following accessories. These can also be acquired from the Technical Assistance Service.

Code The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are not used or are used incorrectly. Gas burners There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around. Additional wok pan support Only for use on double and triple-flame wok burners with pans which are more than 26 cm in diameter, grill pans, earthenware casserole dishes, large pans with a round base, etc. The additional wok pan sup- port should be used to pro- long the appliance's useful life. Additional coffee maker support Only for use on the auxiliary burner with pans which are no more than 12 cm in diameter. Simmer Plate This accessory has been designed to reduce the level of heat at the lowest power setting. Place the accessory directly on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly over the burner. Cen- tre the pan over the acces- sory. HEZ298114 Additional coffee maker support HEZ298105 Simmer Plate15 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. Switching on automatically If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers):

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites.

2. Release the control knob.3. 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). : Risk of deflagration! 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 burner back on. Safety system Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device is active:

1. Switch on the burner as usual.2. 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 setting. Power levels The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power. For dual double-flame burners, the inner and outer flames can be controlled separately. The available power levels are as follows: Main switch/Hob lock (Main Switch) The hob may have a main switch to cut off the mains gas supply and switch off all the burners at the same time. This switch is very practical if there are children in the house or, if for any reason, all the burners must be switched off quickly. To lock the hob: Press the main switch. This switches off all the burners which are on. The hob is locked. To unlock the hob:

1. Turn all the control knobs to the "off" position.2. Press the main switch and turn it fully clockwise.

The mains gas supply is turned on. You can now use your hob normally. 1 ignition sparker 2 thermocouple Setting

%16 Warnings It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating. When 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. An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc. 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 1 minute. 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 impacts. Cooking guidelines Electric hob Models with a twin-circuit glass ceramic hotplate provide two different hotplate configurations: a small hotplate of 700 W and an extended hotplate of 1800 W, if your appliance works at 230 V. Operation Switching on Connect the small hotplate: Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. The operation indicator will light up. Setting 0: Off setting Setting 1: low power Setting 9: full power Connect the extended hotplate: Turn the control knob clockwise beyond setting 9 and then turn it the opposite direction to the required setting. To use the small hotplate again, turn the control knob anticlockwise to setting 0 and switch on again. Note: It is recommended to start cooking on full power and then to use intermediate power levels after a few minutes. Switching off Turn the knob anticlockwise to the Off setting. The residual heat warning light will switch off once the hob surface has cooled down. Residual heat The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus saving energy. Warnings Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the electric hob. Do not cook with wet pans. Cooking guidelines The following suggestions are intended as a guide only. Increase the power for: ■ large quantities of liquid,■ preparation of large dishes,■ uncovered pans.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it 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 the pan supports. Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush. Alternatively, the pan supports can be put in the dishwasher. Use the dishwasher manufacturer's recommended detergent. If the pan supports are very dirty, they should be cleaned previously. Do not put the burner caps in the dishwasher. 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 caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser. Caution! ■ 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 from the hob. ■ 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. Maintenance Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort. 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. 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. Avoid spilling salt on the surface of the electric hob. Burner Minimum pan diameter Maximum pan diameter Wok burner 22 cm - cm Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm Semi-rapid burner 14 cm 20 cm Auxiliary burner 12 cm 16 cm Electric hob 14 cm 18 cm Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must 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. This wastes energy. Always centre the pan 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. 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. Pans should be placed on the hob carefully. Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.18 Trouble shooting Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved.
