Risk of deflagration!

Accumulation of unburned gas in an enclosed area carries a risk of deflagration. Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might blow out the burners. Carefully read the instructions and warnings on the operation of gas burners.

Risk of poisoning!

The kitchen will become hot and humid and combustion products produced when this gas appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in operation: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the appliance may require additional or more effective ventilation: open a window or increase the power of the ventilation system.

Risk of burns!

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

Risk of fire!

The hotplates get very hot. Do not rest inflammable objects on the hob. Do not store objects on the hob.

HZ298105 Simmer Plate

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.

Note: The childproof lock will be automatically activated the first time the appliance is connected and when switching on the appliance again after a power failure or voltage drop.

To deactivate the childproof lock, refer to the Childproof lock section.

Switching on

Switching on a burner:

1. Turn on the appliance with the main switch. The main switch indicator will be turned on.
2. Press and turn the desired burner control knob anticlockwise to the required setting. The flame will ignite automatically and the hotplate indicator light will come on after a few seconds.

If the burner does not switch on, wait at least a minute until trying again.

Note: If after pressing the main switch, no burner comes on, the appliance will automatically switch off after three minutes.

Safety system

All the hotplates have a security device (thermocouple).

If the burner is switched off during operation (e.g. due to a draught), the appliance automatically switches on the hotplate again.

If reignition is not successful (e.g. due to food remains on the burner), the supply of gas to this burner is cut off and the burner hotplate indicator flashes. Turn the control knob to 0 and check the section on Operating indicators and error messages.

Switching off

Switching off a burner: turn the control knob clockwise to the off setting.

Switching off the hob: after finishing cooking, turn all the controls to setting 0 and turn off the appliance with the main switch. The main switch indicator will be turned off.

Automatic off

After six hours of operation, the appliance switches off automatically. Turn all control knobs to setting 0; the appliance can now be switched on again.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Setting	● Control knob off
High flame	● Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on
Low flame	● Minimum capacity or aperture

For dual double-flame burners, the inner and outer flames can be controlled separately. The available power levels are as follows:

Inner and outer flame on full power.

Outer flame on low power, inner flame on full power.

Inner flame on full power.

Inner flame on low power.

Operating and residual heat indicator

All the hotplates have an operating and residual heat indicator which comes on when the flame on the corresponding hotplate is lit.

Once the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat indicator remains on indicating that the hotplate temperature is too high. Do not touch the hotplate while the indicator light is on.

After a while the residual heat indicator will go off, indicating that the temperature of the hotplate has dropped and is no longer too high. Care must then be taken when touching the appliance to avoid burns, since the hotplate may not have completely cooled down.

Protection against overheating

The hob has an overheating protection system to protect the electronics. This system switches off all the burners in case of overheating, with the operating indicators of all the burners and main switch starting to flash.

Turn all control knobs to setting 0. Wait until the appliance has cooled down sufficiently and the main switch operating indicator has turned off. Now you can reconnect the appliance normally. The rapid flickering of the burner operating indicators switches off or is replaced by the residual heat indicator.

Childproof lock

Activating the childproof lock:

1. Switch off the hob using the main switch ①.
2. Press the childproof lock for several seconds until the child lock indicator comes on. Now the hob cannot be switched on.

Deactivating the childproof lock:

Press the childproof lock for several seconds until the main switch indicator comes on. Now the hob can be switched on normally.

Warnings

This appliance will not function if it is not connected to the mains or if the electricity supply is cut off.

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.

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.

Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm
Semi-rapid burner 14 cm 20 cm
Auxiliary burner 12 cm 16 cm

Precautions for use

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 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

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.
