person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.

• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.

• Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.

• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas type
stated on the identification label, placed near the gas
supply pipe.

• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the

production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes
open or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical extractor hood).

• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

• Once you removed all packaging from the appliance,
ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable is
in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your dealer
before proceeding with the installation.

Instruction for the User

Burner Control Knobs

The hob burner control knobs are situated on the hob front
panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :

 there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply / Ignition setting

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.

1. Push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise
until it reaches the "maximum" position.

2. After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down
for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple"
(Fig. 1 lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.

3. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.

3

If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur
without the electrical device; in this case approach
the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob
down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
"maximum" position.

Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-

heated.

Energy saving advices

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table
beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam
or with a steam cleaning machine.

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is
obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal
electrode (Fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.

Periodic maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.

 The periodic lubrication of the taps must be

carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
