than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER, ESPECIALLY IF

INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR CARAVANS.

The installation shall comply with the dimensions in gs. 2a, 2b bearing in mind that:

■ A 40mm ventilation gap must be provided between the bottom of the appliance and
any cabinetry, draw unit, thermal protection barrier or appliance.

■ If the cooktop is installed directly above an oven (which does not have a cooling fan
motor) or if its base is accessible through a cupboard or drawer space after installation,
a thermal protection barrier must be installed below the base of the cooktop as

indicated in g. 2c.

■ If the oven installed below the cooktop has a cooling fan motor, the thermal protection
barrier is not required.

■ If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the two appliances shall be connected to the
gas and/or electrical supply with independent connections.

■ Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of
the hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan 750
mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the
highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking
surface area in accordance with local regulations in force. However, in no case shall
this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.

Standards requirement

Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards

(AS/NZS5601.1) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65°C above ambient.

This is typically achieved by:

■ having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see gures 2a, 2b);

 AND

■ protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (minimum height of
non-combustible material when used on adjacent walls) with non-combustible surface

materials such as:

– 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles (these alone are adequate);
– tempered glass or sheetmetal, minimum thickness 0.4 mm (acceptable when used

in front of a re resistant material).

DUAL BURNER - MODELS DEGHBG90 ONLY

The Dual Burner is a very exible burner which allows di󰀨erent regulations and optimal

cooking.

It is composed by one inner and one outer crown: the inner and outer crown can be used
together or separately.

The Dual burner is controlled by two separate knobs (g. 9):

■ one knob for the inner crown only (“ ” symbol identifying the control knob)

■ one knob for the outer crown only (“

The Dual burner can be used:

■ as a small burner (ame produced only by the inner crown);

■ as a Ultra-rapid burner (ame produced only by the outer crown);

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS

■ The burner must be chosen according to the
diameter of the pans and energy required.

■ The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.

■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.

■ For fast boiling, make sure the ame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going
up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer
to boil.

■ For optimum e󰀩ciency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

■ Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.

■ Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are o󰀨set.

■ It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.

■ When deep fat frying:

– Fill the pan only one third full of oil.
– DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
– In the unfortunate event of a re, leave the pan where it is and turn o󰀨 all controls.
– Place a damp cloth or correct tting lid over the pan to smother the ames.
– DO NOT use water on the re.
– Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Do not place anything, e.g. ame tamer, asbestos

mat, between pan and pan support as serious
damage to the appliance may result.

Do not remove the pan support and enclose the
burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate

and deect heat onto the hotplate.

Do not use large pots or heavy weights which

can bend the pan support or deect ame onto

the hotplate.

Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is
stable and does not overhang the appliance.

Use only a wok support supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer of the appliance.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

GENERAL ADVICE

■ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched o󰀨

and disconnected from the electrical power supply.

■ Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
handling or cleaning of this appliance.

■ Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or

maintenance except by suitable qualied personnel.

■ It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning
the enamelled parts.

■ Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.

■ Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the

surfaces.

■ Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.

■ Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus

make it unsafe.

WARNING: When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements
laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken
around the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to
be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

GLASS SURFACE

■ Remove spillages and other types of incrustations by using only specic products
which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

■ If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive
or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.

■ All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.

■ Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

■ Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as
possible.

■ If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly di󰀩cult to remove. This is
especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently damage
the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.

■ Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the glass surface.

■ Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.

■ Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar
syrup mixtures etc.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

25

ENAMELLED PARTS

■ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other
non-abrasive products.

■ Dry preferably with a soft cloth.

■ If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the
enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

GAS TAPS

■ In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.

IMPORTANT WARNING

NEVER unscrew the burner plate xing screws (g. 15).

The burner plates can be removed ONLY by an authorised service
agent.
