How T o Use Y our Appliance

The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric
hot plate (if present) is indicated on each control knob.

Gas Burners

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being
used.
The burner can be regulated with the corresonding control
knob by using one of the following settings:

• Off
High

Low

T o turn on one of the burner s, place a lighted match or
lighter near the burner, press the knob all the wa y in and
turn in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting.
On those models fitted with a safety device (F), the
knob must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the
device that keeps the flame lighted w arms up.
On those models fitted with an ignitor (D), the "E" ignition

button, identified by the symbol, must first be pressed
and then the corresponding knob pushed all the way in

and turned in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High"
setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition switch
incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the

ignitor (D) is present, but not the "E" switch (the symbol
is located near each knob).

T o light a b urner, simply press the corresponding knob all
the way in and then turn it in the counter-clockwise
direction to the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until
the burner lights.
Caution: If the burner accidently goes out, turn off the
gas with the control knob and try to light it again after
waiting at least 1 minute.
To turn off a burner, turn the knob in the clockwise
direction until it stops (it should be on the “•” setting).

Electric Hot Plates (only on certain models)
The hot plates vary in diameter and power: "normal" and
"fast". The latter can be identified by a red boss in the
center of the hot plate itself.
The hot plate can be regulated by turning the
corresponding knob in the clockwise or counter-clockwise
direction to any one of the 6 different settings:

0 Off
1 Low
2-5 Medium
6 High

The section entitled, "Practical Cooking Advise", provides
information on the recommended settings for various types
of food or cooking processes.
When the knob is on any of the settings other than "Off",
the "H" operating light comes on.

Cooktop Broiler (only on certain models)
The broiler can be regulated by turning the corresponding
knob in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction to any
of the 12 possible settings:

0 Off
1 Low
2-11 Medium
12 High

When the knob is on any of the settings other than "Off",
the "H" operating light comes on.

Ceramic Glass Module (only on certain models)
This cooktop is fitted with dual-ring radiant heating elements
located beneath the glass. It is possible to turn on only the
circular part of the elemement (identified by the letter "A") or
the cooking surface can be enlarged by turning on both "A"
and "B". T o turn only the circular "A" element, simply turn the
knob in the clockwise direction to any one of the 12 av ailable
settings. To add the "B" section, turn the knob to setting 12
and then click it into the setting. Then proceed by turning
the knob in the counter-clockwise direction to one of the 12
settings.

How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your
appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.

To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely
indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and
thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the
following:

• The enameled parts and the glass top, if present, m ust
be washed with warm water without using abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;

• The removable parts of the burners should be washed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to
remove caked-on substances;

• On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the
electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and
frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not
clogged;

• The electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth
and then rubbed with oil while still warm;

• Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact

14

with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents
(containing phosphorous) for an extended period of
time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed
thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a
good idea to clean up any spills;

• Before using the ceramic glass module, the surface
must be cleaned, using a damp cloth to remove dust
or food residues. The ceramic glass surface should be
cleaned regularly with a soultion of warm water and a
non-abrasive detergent. P eriodically, special products
will need to be used to clean the surface. First, remov e
all food buildup or grease with a cleaning scraper , e .g.

(not supplied) (Fig. A).

Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a
suitable cleaning product and paper towels. Then rub
with a damp cloth and dry . Alumin um foil, plastic items,
objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with
a high sugar content that have melted onto the surf ace
must be removed immediatley with a scraper while
the cooking surface is still hot. Special cleaning
products for ceramic glass surf aces form a transparent
protective layer which fights diry buildup. This also
protects the surface from damage caused by f ood with
a high sugar content. Do not use abrasiv e sponges or
cleaning products under any circumstances. This holds
true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven
sprays and stain remov ers (Fig. B);

Fig. A Fig. B

• When cleaning the grill, it is recommeded that you do

so while it is still hot, using the handles provided to
move it from the cooktop to the sink. To remove the
pan beneath the grill, it is a good idea to wait until the
heating element has cooled (roughly after 15 minutes).

Greasing the Gas Valves

Over time, the gas valv es ma y stick or become difficult to
turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside
and the regreased.

N.B.: This procedure m ust be performed by a technician
authorized by the manufacturer.
