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:
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 .
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 of electric plates
To switch on the plate, turn the relevant knob to the required position. The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch: Position 0: off Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator which comes on to indicate that the cooking zone is switched on.The indicator will remain on even after the cooking zone is switched off, until the hob has cooled down.
Children should be kept away until this indicator switches off.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the cooking zones are given in the following table.
Position
1 Melting butter, chocolate,
2 Simmering vegetables, or fish in its own
juice, simmering potatoes or soups
3 Boiling large quantities of food, stews and
soups
4 Slow frying, making a roux
5 Fast frying of meat or fish
6 Rapid heating up of fat or water
Using the plate correctly
Saucepans and frying pans (Fig.2)
- Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone. Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms.
- The bottoms should always be clean and dry. Cook with a lid in place. Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will scratch the ceramic glass surface.
- To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by lifting them, and not by sliding. Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic discolorations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.
Energy consumption:To save energy, you should:
- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms.
- place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.
Never use the ceramic hob as a working space. Do not store things on the ceramic hob. Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the ceramic hob, as they could melt on the hob, thus damaging it.

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-b. 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.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
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.
Ceramic hob
Cleaning the hob while it is still warm. Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect. Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are available from department stores. Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth. Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent such as Vitroclen when cool. Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this type of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause irreparable damage to the ceramic surface. When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.

FO 2265
Fig. 3 a
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs. Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the cooking zones are used again.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply and call you nearest Service Force Centre. Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil. Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this nature accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.
b
Periodic Maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically lubricated.

The periodic lubrication of the taps must be

carried out by qualified personnel, which you must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
Service and original spare parts
This machine, before leaving the factory, has been tested and studied by many experts and specialists, in order to give you the best results. Any repair work which needs to be carried out should be done with the utmost care and attention. For this reason we reccomend that for any problem you contact the dealer who sold it to you, or our nearest authorized Service Centre, specifying the nature of the problem and the particular model which you own. Always Insist on genuine original spare parts.

Injectors replacement
• Remove the pan supports.
• Remove the burner's caps and crowns.
• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and remove the injectors (Fig. 7), and replace them with the ones required for the type of gas in use (see table 2).
• Reassemble the parts, following the same procedu­re backwards.
• Replace the rating label (placed near the gas supply pipe) with the relevant one for the new type of gas supply. You can find this label in the package of the injectors supplied with the appliance.
Should the feeding gas pressure be different or variable compared with the required pressure, an appropriate pressure adjuster must be fitted on the gas supply pipe, in compliance with the rules in force.
Adjustment of minimum level
To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as follows:
Light the burner.
Turn the knob on the minimum position.
Remove the knob.
With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw
(see Fig. 8). If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular flame is obtained. If changing from LPG to natural gas unscrew about 1/4 turn the by­pass screw, until a small regular flame is obtained.
Finally check the flame does not go out when
quickly turning the knob from the maximum position to the minimum position.
This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob has been positioned or built in the working top.
