:Safety precautions

Read these instructions carefully. You will only be able to use your appliance safely and effectively when you have read them.

These operating and installation instructions should be retained, and passed onto the buyer if the appliance is sold.

The manufacturer is exempt from all responsibility if the requirements of this manual are not complied with.

The images shown in these instructions are for guidance only.

Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit. Do not switch on the appliance if it is damaged in any way. Contact our Technical Assistance Service.

This appliance is class 3 type, according to the EN 30-1-1 regulation for gas appliances: built-in appliance.

This appliance must only be used in well ventilated places.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an external clock timer or a remote control.

All operations relating to installation, connection, regulation and conversion to other gas types must be performed by an authorised technician, respecting all applicable regulations, standards and the

specifications of the local gas and electricity suppliers. Special attention shall be paid to ventilation regulations.

This appliance leaves the factory set to the gas type that is indicated on the specifications plate. If this needs to be changed, please consult the assembly instructions. It is recommended you contact the Technical Assistance Service to change to another gas type.

This appliance has been designed for home use only, not for commercial or professional use. This appliance is only intended for cooking purposes, not as a heating system. The warranty will only be valid if the appliance is used for the purpose for which it was designed.

This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum height of 2000 metres above sea level.

Never leave the appliance unattended during operation.

Do not use lids or protective barriers for children which are not recommended by the hob manufacturer. They may cause accidents such as those due to the overheating, ignition or detachment of fragments of materials.

This appliance may be used by children 8 years old and older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacity or a lack of experience or knowledge if they are supervised or they

have been instructed about the safe use of

3

the appliance and have understood the associated dangers.

Never let children play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by unsupervised children.

Risk of deflagration!

Accumulation of unburned gas in an enclosed area carries a risk of deflagration. Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might blow out the burners. Carefully read the instructions and warnings on the operation of gas burners.

Risk of poisoning!

The kitchen will become hot and humid and combustion products produced when this gas appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in operation: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the appliance may require additional or more effective ventilation: open a window or increase the power of the ventilation system.

Risk of burns!

■The hotplates and their immediate vicinity get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children under 8 years old well away from this appliance.

■If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners.

Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so that gas escapes uncontrollably. Both can cause burns.

Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position.

Risk of fire!

■The hotplates get very hot. Do not rest inflammable objects on the hob. Do not store objects on the hob.

■Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, products which produce fumes, inflammable materials or non-food products below or near this domestic appliance.

■Fat or oil which is overheated can catch fire easily. Never leave fat or oil to heat up unattended. If oil or fats do catch fire, never use water to put the fire out. Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and switch off the hotplate.

Risk of injuries!

■Pans which are damaged, are not the right size, hang over the edge of the hob or are not positioned correctly can cause serious injuries. Follow the advice and warnings provided relating to the cooking pans.

■In the event of a malfunction, turn off the appliance’s gas and electricity supply. For repairs, call our Technical Assistance Service.

■Do not tamper with the appliance's interior. If necessary, call our Technical Assistance Service.

■If one of the control knobs will not turn, do not force it. Call the Technical Assistance Service immediately so that they can repair or replace them.

Risk of electric shock!

Do not clean the appliance using steam cleaners.

The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are not used or are used incorrectly.

Gas burners

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around.

Switching on manually

1.Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting.

2.Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

Switching on automatically

If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers):

1.Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.

While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites.

2.Release the control knob.

3.Turn the control knob to the required setting.

If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

:Risk of deflagration!

If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner back on.

Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off.

WKHUPRFRXSOH LJQLWLRQ VSDUNHU

To ensure that this device is active:

1.Switch on the burner as usual.

2.Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

5

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Setting	Ú	Control knob off
High flame	›	Maximum capacity or aperture and
		electricity on
Low flame	œ	Minimum capacity or aperture

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least 1 minute.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner.

Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over.

Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.

Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over.

Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single pan.

Do not use grill pans, earthenware casserole dishes, etc. for a long period of time on maximum power.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

■Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

■If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use a knife, scraper or similar implement to clean the point where it joins the metal.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.

Caution!

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.

Trouble shooting

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice:
