Instruction for the User

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

l there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

To light a burner, push in the relevant knob and

turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position". After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. C) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required. If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) is in the correct position. To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol l.

 Always turn the flame down or put it out before

taking the pans off the burner.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel. It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.

General cleaning

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners

Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.

The cap and crown of each burner are secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the cap, turn it upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown in Fig. 3 After a thorough cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the cap in its correct position on

the burner. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

Pan supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.

If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.

Never use steel wool pads or acids.

Ignition candle

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (Fig.1-lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Hob top

Regularly wipe over the hob top and the aluminium frame using a soft cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
