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.

Abnormal Operation:

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

- Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

- Sooting up of cooking utensils.

- Burners not igniting properly.

- Burners failing to remain alight.

- Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.

- Gas valves which are difficult to turn.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:
Always disconnect the appliance from the gas mains before carrying out any cleaning operation.

2) HOTPLATE

Periodically wash the hot plate, the cast iron pan support, the burner caps “C” and the burner heads “M” (see
fig. 6) 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 to remain in contact with the cast iron surfaces for long periods of time.

- Check that burner head slots (fig. 6) have not become clogged by foreign bodies.

- Check that burner cap “C” (fig. 6) 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 to open or close. Contact the technical assistance service for
repairs.

- Don’t use steam jets for cleaning the cooktop.

(e.g. cement dust) or condensation marks.

In the event where persistent marks appear:

Immediately clean affected areas with stainless steel cleaner, using a clean damp soft cloth.
Ensure surface is rinsed and thoroughly clean of all marks and cleaning agent.
