• This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It must be installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

• When in use a gas cooking hob will produce heat and moisture in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered competent person, and in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual. Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in

the event of a breakdown.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

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

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

Operation

Hob burner control knobs

The symbols on the knobs mean:

 = no gas supply

= maximum gas supply

= minimum gas supply

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

Lighting the burners



To light a burner, turn the relevant

knob anticlockwise to maximum position ( ) and push down the knob to ignite.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - D) 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 - A) and “crown” (Fig. 1 - B) are in the correct position.

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it counterclockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

To switch off burners



To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ( ).

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.

Auxiliary 80 mm 160 mm

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.

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

The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.

Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.

Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.

Pots must not enter the control zone. It is advisable to use cast iron recipients or steak plates only on the rear burners,

so as not to damage the electronic lighting components.

Mainteinance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The Hob Top

 Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to

which a little wasing up liquid 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, the following products are recommended:

- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

 Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the

cooktop.

The burners

 The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.  Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a

mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used

with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.

 After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.  Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" (Fig 1 page 7 - A and B) with hot soapy

water, carefully taking away any built-up of food. After a thorough cleaning, refit the crown in its correct position on the burner.

The Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode with a metal electrode (Fig. 1 page 7- C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (Fig. 1 page 7 - B) are not obstructed.
