DECLARATION OF CE CONFORMITY
These instructions are only valid for use in the UK.
This cooking hob has been designed to be used only for cooking. Any other use (such as
heating a room) is improper and dangerous.
This cooking hob has been designed, constructed, and marketed in compliance with:
Safety requirements of the "Gas" Directive 90/396/EEC;
Safety requirements of EEC Directive "Low voltage" 73/23 (gas or gas/electric appliances);
Safety requirements of EEC Directive "EMC" 89/336 (gas or gas/electric appliances);
Requirements of EEC Directive 93/68.
FEATURES
“2 GAS" COOKING HOB (Fig. 1.1)
The appliance has class 3
1. Semi rapid burner (SR) - 1,75 kW
2. Rapid burner (R) - 3,00 kW
3. Burner 2 (R) control knob
4. Burner 1 (SR) control knob
5. Electric gas-lighting pushbutton.
CAUTION:
• If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait
at least 1 minute before attempting to relight,
• Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed.
Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles
or by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct.
• If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation
by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood (if fitted).

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs
(illustrated in fig. 2.1 b) which control the safety valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the
symbols printed on the panel achieves the following functions:
Full circle • = closed valve
Full circle = maximum aperture or flow
Full circle = minimum aperture or flow.
To light one of the gas burners, hold a flame (e.g. a match) close to
the top part of the burner, push in and turn the relative knob in an
anti-clockwise direction, pointing the knob indicator towards the
large flame symbol (i.e. max. gas flow).
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further
anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids,
whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of
food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum
aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the cooker top is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply
line.
PUSH BUTTON ELECTRIC SPARK-LIGHTING GAS
To light one of the burners you have to push in and turn the relative knob to the maximum
aperture position (large flame symbol) and press the electric lighter button (fig. 2.2) until
the flame has been lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.4)
The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner. The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the
diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed. It is important that the
diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not
to jeopardize the efficiency of the burners, bringing about a waste of gas fuel. A small
diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that boiling
conditions are reached quicker.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE H OBS
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of
reach.
NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate the knob (fig. 3.1 - 3.2) to
the desired setting. The numbers from 1 to 6 or 1 to 12 indicate
the operating positions with increasing number corresponding to
higher temperature settings When the pan comes to the boil, turn
the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for
about five minutes after it has been turned off.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar to that of the normal
hotplate, with 6 or 12 selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1 - 3.2).
The characteristics of this hotplate, which is also equipped with a
thermostatic cut-off device, make it possible to:
• Achieve the cooking temperature rapidly.
• Make full use of its output power using flat-bottomed pans
• Limit the output power with unsuitable saucepans.
• Never cook food directly on the electric hotplates always use a saucepan or
suitable container.
• Caution! the cooling hob becomes very hot during operation.
• Keep children well out of reach.

PROPER USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE (fig. 3.3)
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the heat down to the level
desired.
• Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for
about five minutes after it has been turned off.
• While using the electric hotplate, you must:
• Avoid keeping it on without something on it;
• Avoid pouring liquids on it while it is hot;
• Use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate type) pots and pans only
• Use cooking receptacles which cover as much of the surface
of the hotplate as possible.
• To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
• Never cook food directly on the hotplate: always use a pan or suitable container.
An indicator light located close to the control panel signals that the hotplate is operating
