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 and usage

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 storecombustible materials, such as gasoline, other vapors and 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.

8 - The gas pressure regulator supplied with the appliance must be installed in the gas piping line.

9 - The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).

10 - Important:When using an especially large pan, leave a minimum space of 50 mm (2") to prevent damage to countertops of

wooden, plastic or other non-heat resistant materials. Never leave hot oil or grease unattended.

11 - Make the caution about leaving oil or grease unattended.

•Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

•Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

•Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Before the first start-up

Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it as per local laws. Remember that there are other accessories in addition to packaging materials. Keep packaging materials and plastic bags out of the reach of children.

Check the condition of the appliance before installing it, to ensure that it has suffered no damage during transport.

Only authorized technical personnel must install and connect the appliance before

its first start-up in compliance with the regulations of the gas supplier companies and local.

Turn the control dials to before connecting the appliance to the current supply.

The appliance's serial number is indicated on the control slip annexed to this manual. For warranty purposes, keep this note together with the usage and assembly instructions.

Carefully read the assembly and usage instructions before starting up the appliance.

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 1240 cft (35 m3) 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.

If there is a fault in the current supply, do not use the appliance.

If the appliance does not work properly, contact the technical service.

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 when any single burner is turned ON. Do not touch any of the burners when 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.

Use Balanced Pans

-Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking.

-Center pan over burner.

Use a lid That Fits Properly

- A well-fitting lid shorten the cooking time.

Cooking warnings

NO YES

Do not use small pots on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pot.

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.

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.

Always use appropriate pots for each burner.

This will prevent excessive consumption of gas and staining of the pots.

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.

Handle pots carefully when they are on the cooktop.

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.

Installing the cooktop on the kitchen unit: Fitting measurements

1 - Minimum distances (mm). Cut a gap of the required size in the work surface. Fig. 1 a-b Follow the installation instructions for hoods.

2 - The wood fibres that have been used to make the cabinets tend to swell quickly

when they come into contact with moisture. Therefore, we recommend to coat the cut surfaces, to protect them from steam or condensed water that could be deposited under the kitchen unit work surface.

3 - Depending on the model, the clips and the watertight seal (lower edge of the cooktop) may already be fitted; if this is the case, do not remove them under any circumstance.

The seal ensures that the entire work surface will be watertight, and prevents water seepage.

If this item has not been fitted in the factory, remove the pan supports and the gas burner

covers and diffusers from your cooking hob, and turn it upside down.Now fit the adhesive seal supplied with the appliance onto the lower edge of the cooking hob,Fig. 2a,remove the clips from the attached accessories bag and screw them into the lower points designed for this purpose, Fig. 2 b. Place the cooktop in the middle of the

opening where it is to be inserted into the kitchen unit.

Once the hob is fitted you should turn the clip and tighten the screw as shown in Fig. 2b. For

disassembly, unscrew the clip and proceed in the reverse manner.

If the oven is not installed under the cooktop, place a separator of non-flammable material to

prevent access to the lower part of the cooktop.

To install the cooktop over an oven, check the dimensions given in the installation manual.
