Dear Customer,
We thank and congratulate you on your choice. This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every need, achieving perfect cooking. Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This manual contains important information, not only for use of the appliance, but safety and maintenance as well.
During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us, you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you. Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container and dispose of it at a collection point. If this is not possible, dispose of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will appreciate it. Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility. Your local government can provide you with the necessary information on the nearest collection facility.

Important information for installation
1 - For safety reasons, do not allow the flames to extend beyond the edge of the cooking
appliance.
2 - Remember that the appliance heats up when in use. Remember to use common sense. The absence of a flame does not
mean that the appliance parts are no longer hot.
3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should not be used for room heating purposes.
4 - Make sure the power supply is disconnected before dismantling the
appliance. 5 - Do not store
such as gasoline, inflammable liquids near the appliance.
6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation air flow.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates
before using the appliance.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the
connections are not perfectly light, you can
have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.
Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician.
See Warning, page. 3.
7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm (30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets installed in the upper part.

Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories when using them for the first time. This will eliminate any "new" scents and any remaining dirtiness (see cleaning and care chapter).
For appliance usage
The use of this gas burning appliance produces a formation of heat and humidity in the area of use. Make sure that the area has proper ventilation conditions.
Keep the ventilation channels open. Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window or a door or more intensive extraction of air with an extraction hood.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in which the appliance is installed must have a minimum volume of
3
(35 m ) and must possess a door that
opens outdoors or a window that can opened.
The use of spit-roasters, pans or grilling stones simultaneously by more than one burner is prohibited, as the accumulation of heat could damage the appliance.
If large pots are used, a minimum separation of approximately 50 mm (2") should be kept between the pot and peripheral inflammable materials. A minimum separation of some 50 mm (2") should be kept between the control dial or control panel and the pot or pan. The cooking pot must not touch the control panel.
If pots or pans are removed temporarily, set the stovetop to the minimum setting. This will reduce the risk of suffering burns while working near open flames; in addition to saving gas, thus favoring the environment.

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 1.
To light a burner, press the chosen control knob and turn it toward the left, holding it in the maximum setting for a few seconds until the burner is lit, then release it, and adjust to the desired setting. If it does not light, repeat the procedure.
CAUTION - All igniters spark w hen any single burner is
turned ON. Do not touch any of the burners w hen the
cooktop is in use.
If the ignitor are dirty, this makes the burner harder
to light. Therefore, keep them as clean as possible. This cleaning should be performed with a small brush, considering
that the ignitor can not withstand any sharp blows.
If your cooktop is not fitted with this automatic lighting
feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner.
Your cooktop may be equipped with safety thermocouples
to prevent gas flow if the burners are accidentally extinguished. Figure 2.
To turn on and activate this innovative system, proceed in the same way, but keeping the control knob pressed down until ignition takes place, the flame appears and does not extinguish. If ignition does not take place, repeat the procedure, keeping the control knob pressed down 1-5 seconds.
To turn it off, turn the control knob to the right to the correct position . When carrying out this procedure, the ignition system may activate again. This is completely normal.
Your modern, functional cooktop has progressive gas valves
that make it possible to adjust to the necessary setting between the maximum and minimum flames.
Triple flame burners and large triple flame burners are very practical and convenient for cooking with "paella" pans, Chinese Woks (all sorts of Asian dishes), etc.
If your cooktop is equipped with a large triple flame burner,
it will have a valve facilitating independent control of the interior and exterior flame. This revolutionary system makes it possible to select from a wide array of power settings. Working description Fig. 3.
The direct impact of the flame on the enamel may cause an orange-coloured flame in the Large, triple-flame burner.
The use of the appliance produces heat and humidity in the site where it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen has good ventilation. Keep ventilation channels open or install a mechanical ventilation system (extraction hood).
Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window (without causing air currents) or increasing the power of mechanical ventilation if it exists.

Cooking warnings
NO YES
Do not use small pots on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pot.
Always use appropriate pots for each burner. This will prevent excessive consumption of gas and staining of the pots.
Do not cook without a lid, or if the lid moves, as this causes a partial energy loss.
Do not use pots with irregular bottoms as they lengthen cooking time and increase energy consumption.
Do not place the pot off-center over the burner, as tipping could result. Do not use large-diameter pots on the burners near the control knobs, which, once centered over the burner, could touch the knobs or be close enough to them that the temperature of that area in­creases, possibly causing damage.
Never place pots directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weights or strike the cooktop with heavy objects.
Always use the lid.
Use only pots, pans and casseroles with flat, thick
bottoms.
Center the pot over
the burner.
Place the pot over
the grate. Make sure that the grates and burner covers
are in the correct positions before using the appliance.
Never use two burners or heat sources to heat a single pot.
Avoid using roasting grilles, earthen pots, etc. for extended periods at maximum power.
Handle pots carefully when they are on the cooktop.
13
Steel usage rules: cleaning and care
NO YES
DO NOT use abrasive products, sharp objects, steel wool, knives, etc. to remove hardened remains of food on the cooktop, pan supports, burners or electrical cooktops. If your cooktop has a glass panel, DO NOT use a knife, scraper or any similar device to clean the joint where it meets the metal.
DO NOT use steam cleaning machines on the cooktop, as they could damage it.
DO NOT leave acidic liquids (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the cooktop.
Once the appliance has cooled, clean it with a
sponge, soap and water.
Remove all spilt liquids immediately. This will save unnecessary efforts.
To keep the burners and pan supports clean, they must be regularly cleaned, submerging them in soapy water and scrubbing them with a non-metallic brush so that the holes and slots are perfectly clear to provide proper flame. Always dry the burner covers and the grates if they have become wet.
After cleaning and drying the burners, ensure that the lids are properly placed atop the burner flame diffuser. If the appliance has Monoblock burners, en­sure that they are perfect­ly dry before their next use.
Due to the high temperatures that the ring lid of your triple flame burner, and stainless steel areas such as the grease splash tray and the outer perimeter of the burners, etc. must withstand, they will become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after every use using products appropriate for stainless steel. After washing the grates, dry them completely before cooking with them again. The presence of water droplets or wet areas at the beginning of cooking can cause possible points of enamel deterioration. If the grates of your cooktop have rubber pads, use precaution when cleaning them, as they could come off, leaving the grate unprotected and leading to scratching of the cooktop. Stainless steel cleaning products should not be used in the area surrounding the control knobs. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
