Instructions for the user

6. USING THE HOB

6.1 Gas hob

Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples.

The rack B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooker hob, it comes complete with a raised pan stand C. This must be placed under pans with a diameter bigger than those indicated in the table in point "6.3 Pan diameters". In any case, the pan stand C should not be used on UR-3 burners and the fish burner.

Technical diagram showing three views (A, B, C) of a mechanical component with labeled parts and cross-sectional views.

The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.

Diagram of a mechanical component with circular features and a rectangular button (no text or symbols)

On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the (off) position when you finish using the hob.

If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

6.2 Practical tips for using the burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over.

To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated.

Instructions for the user

6.4 Glass ceramic hob

The appliance has two cooking zones of various power levels and diameters.

The positions are clearly indicated by circles and the heat is concentrated within the diameters traced on the hob. The radiating zones come on after a few seconds and their heat level can be adjusted by rotating the knob to the required position between 1 and 9.

9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 O

The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate zones can be used. The lights to the side of the knobs indicate the residual heat: they come on when the electric hot plates exceed 50^ and go off when the temperature falls below this level. For cleaning, see paragraph "7.3 Cleaning the glass ceramic hob".

6.4.1 Cooking guidelines

The table below shows the power values which can be set, with the relative type of food alongside. Settings may vary depending on the amount of food and personal taste.

Knob Position	Suitable kind of cooking
1	To melt butter, chocolate or similar products.
2 - 3	To heat food, keep small amounts of water on the boil, and whip up sauces with egg yolk or butter.
4 - 5	To heat solid or liquid food, keep water on the boil, thaw deep-frozen food, cook omelettes of 2 or 3 eggs, fruit and vegetables, various cooking processes.
6	To stew meat, fish and vegetables, simmer food, make jams, etc.
7 - 8	To roast meat, fish, steaks and liver; to sauté meat, fish, eggs, etc.
9	To deep-fry potatoes, etc., or bring water to the boil rapidly.

For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for electric cooking:

- The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry. The hob must also be clean and dry.

- Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they may scratch the cooking surface.

- The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.

6.5 Barbeque hob

You can use the rack for grilling, cooking au gratin or as a barbeque.

In the tray under the resistance you can put:

- water (Fig. 1) to catch the fat and any grease dripping from the cooking (do not put more than a litre and a half of water into the tray),

- a layer of lava rock that keeps in the heat for longer and therefore improves the cooking times and quality.

In both cases, do not exceed the edge of the tray. Before pouring the water into the tray or putting in the lava rock, block the resistance as show in fig. 2.

2)

WARNING: if the tilted resistance is raised, it must always be blocked with the proper sliding device.

WARNING: before lifting the resistance up, make sure it is cool. Danger of burns!

WARNING: when the resistance is raised, take care not to activate the control device. Danger of burns!

Instructions for the user

The adjustment of the barbeque hot plate's power is done using the control knob, turning it to the desired position between 1 and 9.

The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate zones can be used. The indicator light comes on to indicate that the plate is heating up. When this light goes out, the preset power level has been reached.

When the light flashes regularly it means that the power of the hot plate is kept steady on the set level. To remove the rack for cleaning, see paragraph "7.4 Cleaning the barbeque plate"

6.6 Deep fat fryer

The choice of frying temperature is made by turning the knob to one of the positions between 1, 2 and 3. We have provided a table below that summarises the kind of frying needed for the level selected.

The green light coming on means that the appliance is powered (even when it is not in use).

Mechanical component diagram with numbered parts (1, 2, 3) and a central shaft (no text or symbols beyond labels)

The indicator light comes on to indicate that the resistance is heating up. When this light goes out, the preset power level has been reached.

When the light flashes regularly it means that the power of the hot plate is kept steady on the set level.

The table below shows the power values which can be set, together with the corresponding type of food. Settings may vary depending on the amount of food and personal taste.

Knob Position	Suitable kind of cooking	Appropriate amounts (g)	Maximum amounts (g)
1 (160°C)	Chips 500 750
	Chicken Legs - Wings * *
1-2 (170°C)	Fried fish * *
2 (180°C)	Fritters - Fish 250 350
2-3 (185°C)	Croquettes - Cheese croquettes	500	750

^* = these levels depend mainly on the amount of food. Make sure they are completely immersed in the oil.

6.6.1 Some good frying tips

The level of oil in the basin must always be between 3 litres (minimum amount indicated inside the basin) and 3.5 litres (maximum amount indicated inside the basin). The resistance cannot operate in the open air: it must always be immersed in the oil or fat.

Do not put solid vegetable or animal fat into the basin. It must already be melted before putting it into the basin.

WARNING: before lifting the resistance up, make sure it is cool. Danger of burns!

WARNING: when the resistance is raised, take care not to activate the control device. Danger of burns!

The ideal frying temperature is between 160^ C and 185^ C. The oil will degrade very quickly at levels higher or lower than these.

If the temperature is too low, the food is not broiled on the surface and becomes impregnated with fat.

The larger the pieces the longer they have to fry. It is, therefore, a good idea to pick a cooking temperature that allows you to cook the food right through without burning it on the outside.

Instructions for the user

6.6.2 When the frying is finished

The basket containing the fried food can be left to "drain" before tipping out the contents. You can do this by hanging it using the specific hooks on the upper part of the resistance as shown in the figure to the side.

Close-up of a metallic mechanical component with internal mesh structure (no visible text or symbols)

Once the basket has been removed, the resistance can be fixed using the specific hold in two positions:

1 position 1 for "draining" the frying oil before lifting it off completely
2 position 2 that allows you to easily remove the basin from its container.
See paragraph "7.5 Cleaning the deep fat fryer".

WARNING: before draining the oil from the basin, make sure it has cooled. Danger of burns! Keep children at a distance.

6.7 Induction hob

Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the cooking hob surface as they can become very hot.

6.7.1 Cooking zones

The appliance has 2 cooking zones of various power levels and diameters. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass.

The 2 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds and the heating is adjustable using the knob on the front panel from low to high.

Front view of a black electric stove with two circular burners and control buttons at the bottom (no text or symbols visible)

Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field, the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan producing the heat required for cooking the food.

The 2 lights at the front between the cooking zones come on when one or more heating zones surpasses 60^ C. The lights only go off when the temperature drops below approx. 60^ C.

Instructions for the user

6.7.2 Heating accelerator

Each cooking zone has a heating accelerator.

This system lets the burner operate at maximum power for a time that is proportional to the selected power.

To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the left, select the "A" position and release. The letter "A" appears on the cooking hob display.

At this point you have 3 seconds to choose the desired heating position.

Once the position has been adjusted between 1 and 9, "A" and the selected position will flash on the display.

During the heating accelerator's operation it is possible to increase the heating intensity at any time. The "full power" period will consequently be modified.

On the other hand, if the power is reduced, turn the knob anti-clockwise. "A" option is automatically deactivated.

6.7.3 Operating power settings

Below is provided a table with the maximum power consumptions of the burners.

Zone Number:	Zone Diameter Power consumed
1 210 mm	Normal operation: 1850 WWith power function: 2500 W
2 145 mm	Normal operation: 1400 WWith power function: 1800 W

Before using the hob for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad smell.

6.7.4 Cookware

Appliances of this type require special cookware to be able to work. In fact, the cookware must have an iron or steel/iron bottom to generate the magnetic field necessary for it to be heated up.

Recipients made of the following are not suitable:

• glass
• ceramic:
• terracotta

- steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom

To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the recipient, place it on a cooking zone and start the burner. If, instead of the power symbol, the

U symbol appears, it means the pan is not suitable.

The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to guarantee proper functioning.

Below is a table with the minimum diameters for pans according to the cooking zone.

Zone Number	Minimum cookware diameter
1 140 mm
2 90 mm

Pans that are larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but care must be taken that the bottom of the pan does not come into contact with other cooking zones and that it is always centred on the cooking zone perimeter.

6.7.5 Cookware detector signal

Every cooking zone has a “cookware detector” that only starts the cooking if there is a well positioned container with the suitable characteristics present on the burner.

If the container is not well positioned or is not made of the correct material and still tries to activate the burner, after a few seconds from the burner's activation, the symbol will appear on the display.

6.7.6 Residual heat

Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat warning device. After any zone is switched off, a flashing “H may appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone concerned is still very hot. Cooking can be restarted while the “H is flashing: in this case, proceed as described in point “3”.

6.7.7 Cooking hob lock-out

When not in use, the hob can be “locked” from being accidentally turned on by children.

With the hotplates switched off, turn the control knobs to the left at the same time until the power display shows the letter "L", then release the knobs. To unlock it repeat the same operation: The burners' displays will show a 0 that will indicate that the burners' lock has been deactivated.

6.7.8 Circuit board thermal protection

The appliance is provided with a device that constantly measures the temperature of the electronic circuit board.

If the temperature surpasses certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow the glass ceramic hob to continue to work correctly.

Below is a table with the operations that are activated automatically and the relative start temperature:

Operation	Activating temperature
Fan turns on at low speed 50°C
Fan turns on at high speed 60°C

Reduction of power of a point for every cooking zone 85°C
Turning off all the cooking zones 90°C
Switching the cooking zones on again at reduced power	85°C
Normal operation of all the cooking zones 80°C

Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a flashing light on the power display.

6.7.9 Glass ceramic hob thermal protection

Every cooking zone has a device that constantly measures the temperature.

If the temperature surpasses certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow the glass ceramic hob to continue to work correctly.

Below is a table with the operations that are activated automatically and the relative start temperature:

Operation	Activating temperature
Operating power reduced from Power to 9 250°C
Reduction of the power of a point 280°C
Switching off the cooking zone 300°C
Return of the power to the set value 250°C

Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob with a flashing light on the power display.

Instructions for the user

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged.

Failure to instantly clean the glass ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.

Instructions for the installer

9. GAS CONNECTION

Before installation, make sure that the local distribution conditions (nature and pressure of the gas) and the state of regulation of the appliance are compatible.

Connection to the gas supply network can be made using a rigid copper hose or a flexible steel hose with a continuous wall and in compliance with the guidelines established under current legislation.

Once the operation is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution; never use a flame. The cooker hob is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar.

For supplying it with other types of gas, see chapter "10. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS".

The gas inlet connection is threaded 12 ” external gas (ISO 228-1).

Connection with rigid copper hose: The connection to the gas supply network must be carried out in such a way that it does not cause stress of any kind to the appliance. The connection can be made using the adapter unit D with double cone, always inserting the supplied gasket C in between.

Connection with flexible steel hose: Use only continuous wall stainless steel hoses that comply with current legislation, making sure to always insert the supplied gasket C between the connection A and the flexible hose B.

A C B C D

Installation with the flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 2 metres fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not come into contact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any way.

9.1 Connection to liquid gas

Use a pressure regulator and make the connection on the gas cylinder following the guidelines established by the regulations in force.

Make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the table at point "10.2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table".

9.2 Room ventilation

The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow needed for the regular combustion of gas and the necessary air change in the room itself. The air vents, protected by grills, must be the right size to comply with current regulations and positioned so that no part of them is obstructed, not even partially. The room must be kept adequately ventilated in order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: in particular, after prolonged use, we recommend you open a window or increase the speed of any fans.

9.3 Extraction of the combustion products

Extraction of the products of combustion must be ensured by means of hoods connected to a natural draught chimney whose efficiency is assured or via forced extraction. An efficient extraction system requires precision planning by a specialist qualified in this area and must comply with the positions and distances indicated by the regulations. When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity.

10. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS

Before carrying out the following operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

The appliance is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar. In the case of operation with other types of gas the burner nozzles must be changed and the minimum flame adjusted on the gas taps. To change the nozzles, proceed as described below.

10.1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob

1 Extract the pan stands and remove all the caps and flame-spreader crowns;
2 Unscrew the burner nozzles with a 7 mm socket wrench;
3 Replace the burner nozzles according to the type of gas to be used (see point "10.2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table").
4 Replace the burners in the correct position.

The nozzles for using city gas (G110 - 8 mbar) are available from authorised service centres.

To identify the burners on your hob, refer to the drawings in point "4. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE".

11. FINAL OPERATIONS FOR GAS APPLIANCES

After making the adjustments described above, reassemble the appliance by following the instructions in point "10.1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob" in reverse order.

After adjustment with a gas other than the preset one, replace the label on the casing of the appliance with the label corresponding to the new gas. This label can be obtained from the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

11.1 Adjusting the minimum for city and natural gas

Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position. Extract the gas tap knob and turn the adjustment screw inside or next to the tap rod (depending on the model) until the correct minimum flame is achieved. Refit the knob and verify that the burner flame is stable (when turning the knob rapidly from the maximum to the minimum position the flame must not go out). Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.

11.2 Adjusting the minimum for liquid gas

To adjust the minimum with liquid gas, you must tighten the screw inside or next to the tap rod (depending on the model) fully in a clockwise direction. The bypass diameters for each individual burner are shown in the table "10.2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table".

11.3 Lubrication of gas taps

Over time the gas taps may become difficult to turn and get blocked. Clean them internally and replace the lubricating grease. This operation must be carried out by a specialised technician.
