VM 41 - VG 40 : in conformity with directives 89/336/CEE, 73/23/CEE and 90/396/CEE.

THE CONTROL PANEL

VG 40 : same model as VM 41 except that the model VG 40 is fitted with 4 gas burners (the surface unit radiant hilight is replaced by the fast gas burner).

THE GAS BURNERS

A THERMOCOUPLE SAFETY DEVICE : each burner is fitted with a thermocouple safety device which stops automatically the gas tap in case the flame may go off.

A TAP WITH PROGRESSIVE SETTING : each burner is controlled by a tap with progressive setting allowing :

• a wider choice of settings from the maximum position to the slowest and accurate one,
• a better handling to adjust the flame according to the pan diameter,
• no risk of break off or switch off when the flame is turned down quickly.

AN AUTOMATIC IGNITION INTEGRATED : the ignition can be made with one hand, while you have the pan in the other hand.

THE "MIJOROSE" BURNER : The pan supports fitting with the burners of 1,8 kW are as the Mijorose when the burner is on slow position.

On slow position the flame will not be in contact with the pan but with pan support which emits heat towards the latter.

The比我 rose is a heat diffuser, despatching evenly thanks to the thickness of cast-iron. It is ideal for stewings and slow cookings, without sticking in the bottom of the pan.

IGNITION OF THE BURNERS :

• Turn on the gas tap,
• Locate the sign corresponding to the requested heating zone

• Press and turn the knob on to the left till position "high flame". When you maintain the pression on the control knob for a few seconds, you will start the safety device as well as the ignition sparks of the burners.
• As soon as the flame appears, it is necessary to adjust it according to the pan diameter and your cooking.
• In case of no ignition the first time, repeat the ignition operation.

Recommendation :

. When the burners are not being used the mains gas supply valve should be closed.
. To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan.

THE CHOICE OF BURNER :

The hob is fitted with burners of different sizes and heat ratings. It is important to know how to make use of resulting differences in power.

• Use the large burner for bringing to the boil, for cooking large quantities, and generally for all foods requiring rapid cooking.
• Use the Miorose for simmering and for sauces.
• Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact it is subjected to severe agitation which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour.

CLEANING:

Caution :

Switch off supply before any operation of cleaning or dismounting.

Allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning.

The burners caps and pan supports of pan :

Two enamelled solid cast-iron elements for a maximum protection and an easy cleaning.

They are simply placed. Just lift them off and clean with a damp, slightly soapy sponge. Do not immerse them in cold water immediately after use to avoid cracking the enamel from the thermal shock.

The use of abrasive cleansers is not recommended as they scratch and dull the enamel. If the holes are clogged, brush the caps using soapy water and dry with a clean cloth.

Take care when re-fitting the burner caps and the pan supports.

The burner caps are fitted with thumb indexes to receive the pan supports.

The re-fitting must be perfect because a bad positioning can bring serious anomalies in the combustion.

The vitroceramic hob is slightly curved at the level of gas burners to drain the overflows far from the flame and heating zones, and which permits an easy cleaning.

For the cleaning of the vitroceramic hob, see page 20.

SURFACE UNIT RADIANT HILIGHT

SAFETY

• The hob is hot when in use. Hob temperatures increase. Surface temperatures are high so be careful when touching the hob. Keep children away.
• Never cook directly on the glass ceramic hob. Always use cookware.
• Always place the pan on the centre of the unit you are cooking on.
• Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
• Do not slide cookware across the hob.
• Do not store heavy items above the hob. If they drop onto the hob, they can cause damage.
• Do not use the hob as a working surface.
• Do not use the hob for storage of any items.
• Aluminium foil and plastic pans mustn't be placed on heating zones.
• When cooking with fats or oils, never leave surface unit unattended. Overheated fats or oils can quickly catch fire.
• In the unlikely event of a surface crack appearing, do not use the hob. Immediately disconnect the hob from the electrical power supply and call the After Sales Service.

HOW TO OPERATE THE SURFACE UNIT :

• Locate the sign corresponding to the surface unit radiant hilight

front left (only VM 41 model)

• Turn the control knob until the required cooking position is set.

It is recommended to heat the pan on "high" level until properly warmed up and then lower to desired cooking setting.

• The residual heat indicator lights up when the surface unit temperature is 60^ and above. It will stay on, even if the unit is switched off, until the surface has cooled down. It will switch off when the temperature of the surface falls below 60^ .
• The power-on indicator light comes on and stays on throughout cooking. It will switch off when the control knob is on stop position.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COOKING WITH A VITROCERAMIC COOKTOP

To obtain the maximum performance from your appliance it is absolutely essential to take certain precautions or respect certain conditions. For example :

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat bottoms : using cookware with perfectly flat bottoms will prevent hot spots that cause foods to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : make sure that cookware bottoms are dry. When filling pots with liquid or using a pan that has been stored in the refrigerator, make sure that the bottom of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This is to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the surface unit. If it is slightly wider the energy will be wasted.

THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE

The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).

Aluminium: heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its slow melting point, thin weight aluminium should not be used.

CastIron: usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Copper Bottom : heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.

Porcelain/enamel: Good performance only with a thin, flat, smooth bottom.

Glass-ceramic : notrecommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware: usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

- Avoid spillages :

Liquids spillages will burn on to the hob and will be very difficult to remove.

Keep all objects that could melt far from the glass hob, such as plastics, tinfoil, sugar. If something should fall on to the glass hob it must be removed immediately (while the surface is still hot) to avoid damaging the surface. Take care when removing hot substances.

- For normal, light stains :

When the surface is cool, rub a few drops of cleaning liquid (readily available in the shops) in to the stain with a damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until both stain and cleaning liquid are removed.

Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.

- For heavy, burned on stains :

When the surface is cool, apply a few drops of the cleaning liquid to the stain. As with any burned on spillage, this may require some effort. Carefully scrape soil with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30^ angle against the hob.

If the stain remains, repeat the above process. For additional protection, after all stains have been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream. Buff with a dry paper towel.

Carefully scrape stain with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30^ angle against the hob. (store the razor scraper out of reach of children).

If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream. Buff with a dry paper towel. Any product for cleaning glass is also a good protection.

N.B.:

Do not use a sponge that is excessively wet.

Never use steel tools such as knives or screwdrivers.

If you want to take the knobs off for a full cleaning, take care not to let water go into the open zone, and then check carefully that you completely re-seat the control knob.

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 30^ angle is maintained.

Do not leave the razor scraper within reach of children.

INSTALLATION-BUILT-IN

The cabinet in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent furniture, should be made of materials which can withstand temperatures of up 100^ . In addition, all decorative laminates must be fixed with the heat-resistant glue.

Take care to keep a minimum 5 cm between the appliance and adjacent furniture.

To ensure proper ventilation around the hob, allow at least 1 cm between the underside of the hob and the cabinet, and a 10 × 10 cm opening as illustrated.

When placing the hob, make sure that the joint (fiited with the hob) between the surrounding edge of the appliance and the worktop is properly sealed and that spillages cannot leak into any gap.
