USE

Notes:
Use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
The room must therefore be well ventilated by keeping the natural air vents clear (fig. 3) and by
activating the mechanical aeration device (suction hood or electric fan fig. 4 and fig. 5).
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This can be
achieved by opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical exhausting system if
installed.

rapid electric plate. It is controlled by switches with
various positions (see fig. 6) and is switched on by
turning the knob to the required setting. A diagram
is screen-printed above each knob on the front

panel. This diagram indicates to which electric plate
the knob in question corresponds (see fig. 6). A red
warning light will come on to indicate that the plate
is operating.
A purely indicative regulation table for the normal

USE

WARNINGS:
When the plate is switched on for the first
time, or if it has remained unused for a long
period, it should be dried for 30 minutes on
switch position n° 1. This will eliminate any
moisture that may have been absorbed by the
insulating material.
To correctly use the appliance, remember:

- To place a pan on the plate before switching
this on.

- To always use pans with flat and very thick
bottoms (see fig. 7).

- To never use pans that are smaller than the
plate diameters.

- To dry the bottom of the pan before placing it
on the plate.

- Never leave the appliance unattended when
the plates are being used. Make sure that
there are no children in the near vicinity.

Particularly make sure that the pan handles
are correctly positioned and keep a check on
foods requiring oil and grase to cook since
these products can easily catch fire.

- The plates will remain hot for a long period of
time even use after use, never touch them
with the hands or other objects in order to
prevent burns.

- Immediately disconnect the appliance from
the electricity main as soon as cracks are
noted on the surfaces of the plates.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:

Always disconnect the appliance from the gas
and electricity mains before carrying out any
cleaning operation.

3) HOT PLATE

Periodically wash the hot plate, the enamelled
steel pan support, the enamelled burner caps “A”,
“B” and “C” and the burner heads “T” (see fig. 8
and 8/A) with lukewarm soapy water. Following
this, all parts should be thoroughly rinsed and
dried. Never wash them while they are still warm
and never use abrasive powders. Do not allow
vinegar, coffee, milk, salted water, lemon or tomato
juice from remaining in contact with the enamelled
surfaces for long periods of time.

WARNINGS:
Comply with the following instructions, before
remounting the parts:

- Check that burner head slots have not
become clogged by foreign bodies.

- Check that enamelled burner cap “A”, “B”
and “C” (fig. 8 and 8/A) have correctly
positioned on the burner head. It must be
steady.

- The exact position of the pan support is
established by the rounded corners, which
should be set towards the side edge of the
hot plate.

- Do not force the taps if they are difficult open
or close. Contact the technical assistance
service for repairs.

- Correctly preserve the plate after use by
treating it with special products, easily
available on the market. This will keep the
surface of the plate clean and bright. The
