OPERATION Switching On a Burner Black circle: gas off Large flame: maximum power setting Small flame: minimum power setting

11To determine which knob controls which burner, check the position symbol next to the control knob.

1. Press the control knob of the required burner and turn it anticlockwise to

the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks will be produced on the burner. The flame will ignite. In case of ignition failure, you can use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner. CARE MUST BE TAKEN when using this method.

2. Release the control knob.

3. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

Carefully watch foods being fried at a high power setting, which may cause ignition. Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Never try to move a pan of hot fat. Wait until the fat is completely cool. Risk of deflagration! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door to ventilate the room. Wait at least 1 minute before trying to switch the burner back on. If you cannot light the burner even after several attempts, check the cap and crown are in the correct position.

Thermocouple NOTE: When switching on a burner, after installation or a power cut, it is normal for the ignition spark to be activated automatically.

WARNING: If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the

burner and do not try to relight it for at least 1 minute. Switching Off a Burner Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the position. Cooking Pans Suitable pans Burner Minimum pan diameter Maximum pan diameter Rapid burner 20 cm 24 cm Semi-rapid burners 16 cm 18 cm Auxiliary burner 12 cm 16 cm

Precautions for use Use pans which are the right size for each burner (see above table). Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pans. Only use pans with a flat base. Always position pans over the centre of the cooking zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed. Never operate the hob without pans. When you do not use the appliance, keep the gas valve off.

5. Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could

easily ignite. As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will keep the liquid simmering. If the control knobs are difficult to turn, please contact your local service centre.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always turn off the gas valve and disconnect the hob from the mains socket before any cleaning or maintenance operation is carried out. The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Hob top Regularly clean the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm soapy water. Avoid the use of the following: household detergent and bleaches; impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; steel-wool pads; bath/sink stain removers. When cleaning the hob top, make sure that no water flows inside the burner caps, as this may block the injectors. Pan supports, burner caps and crowns The pan supports, burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Clean them using hot soapy water and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, a well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth and to re-assemble the parts correctly. Ignition sparker and thermocouple The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them regularly using a small non-wire brush. The ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts. 14The thermocouples are extremely important since they cut gas supply in case a flame goes out during cooking; be sure to keep them clean. Maintenance Periodically check the gas connection pipe. Even if any simple abnormality is felt, inform the technical service to have it changed. We recommend the gas connection parts to be changed once a year. TROUBLESHOOTING If the hob is not working properly, please carry out the following checks before calling the technical assistance service. Problem Possible solution There is no spark when lighting the gas. Check that the hob is plugged in and the electrical supply is switched on. Check the burner caps and crowns have been replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning. The burner flame is not uniform. Check the holes and grooves on the burners are not blocked. Check the burner caps and crowns have been replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
