How To Use Your Appliance
The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric hot plate (if present) is indicated on each control knob.
Gas Burners
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.
The burner can be regulated with the corresonding control knob by using one of the following settings:
• Off
High
Low
To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and turn in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting.
On those models fitted with a safety device (F), the knob must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the device that keeps the flame lighted warms up.
On those models fitted with an ignitor (D), the "E" ignition button, identified by the 
symbol, must first be pressed and then the corresponding knob pushed all the way in and turned in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition switch incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the
ignitor (D) is present, but not the "E" switch (the 
symbol is located near each knob).
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.
Caution: If the burner accidently goes out, turn off the gas with the control knob and try to light it again after waiting at least 1 minute.
To turn off a burner, turn the knob in the clockwise direction until it stops (it should be on the “•” setting).

How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:
•Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
•The enameled parts and the glass top, if present, must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
•The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove caked-on substances;
•On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not clogged;
•Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to clean up any spills.
Greasing the Taps
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.
N.B.:This operation must be performed by a technician authorised by the manufacturer.
Practical Advice

•Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from reaching the sides of the pot or pan;
•Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the lid on;
•When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to "Low".

Is there a problem?
It may occur that the cooktop does not function or does not function properly. Before calling customer service for assistance, lets see what can be done.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the gas valves for the mains are open.
The burner does not light or the flame is not uniform around the burner.
Check to make sure that:
•The gas holes on the burner are not clogged;
•All of the movable parts that make up the burner are mounted correctly;
•There are no draughts around the cooking surface.
The flame does not stay lighted on the model with the safety device.
Check to make sure that:
•You press the knob all the way in;
•You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate the safety device.
•The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding to the safety device.
The burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
•The gas holes are not clogged.
•There are no draughts near the cooking surface.
•The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see the section entitled, "Minimum Regulation").
The cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
•The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.

b)The room must also allow for the influx of the air needed for proper combustion. The flow of air for combustion purposes must not be less than 2 m³/h per kW of installed capacity.The supply of said air can be effected by means of direct influx from the outside through a duct with a inner cross section of at least 100 cm² which must not be able to be accidentally blocked.Those appliances which are not fitted with a safety device to prevent the flame from accidentally going out must have a ventilation opening twice the size otherwise required, i.e. a minimum of 200cm² (Fig. A). Otherwise, the room can be vented indirectly through adjacent rooms fitted with ventilation ducts to the outside as described above, as long as the adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms or present the risk of fire (Fig. B).

c)Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessitate supplemental ventilation, e.g.opening a window or increasing the power of the air intake system (if present).
d)Liquidified petroleum gases are heavier than air and, as a result, settle downwards. Rooms in which LPG tanks are installed must be fitted with ventilation openings to the outside in order to allow the gas to escape in the event of a leak.Therefore, LPG tanks, whether empty or partially full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces below ground level (cellars, ect.).It is also a good idea to keep only the tank currently being used in the room, making sure that it is not near sources of heat (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) that could raise the internal temperature of the tank above 50°C.
Installation of Built-in Cooktops
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be made of non-flammable material. During operation the back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of 50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a)If the cabinet(s) located next to the cooktop are higher than the cooktop itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed at least 110 mm from the edge cooktop;
b)Hoods must be installed in accordance with the instructions contained in the installation manual for the hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm from the cooktop;
c)The cabinets installed next to the hood must be located at a height of at least 420 mm from the top, (as shown in Fig. C).

f)In the event the cooktop is not installed above a builtin oven, a wood panel must be inserted as insulation. This panel must be placed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the cooktop itself.
Important: When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven, the oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back.

When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven without forced ventilation, ensure that there are air inlets and outlets for ventilating the interior of the cabinet adequately.
Gas Connection for Cooktop
The cooktop should be connected to the gas supply by an authorized installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas tanks must be carried out according to the safety standards currently in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is suitable for the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the section entitled, “Adapting the Cooktop for Different Types of Gas”. If the cooktop is to be connected to tanks containing liquid gas, use pressure regulators that comply with current safety standards.
Important: To insure that the appliance operates safety, the gas is regulated correctly and your appliance lasts over time, make sure that gas pressure levels comply with the indications given in Table 1, “Nozzle and Burner Specifications”.
Gas Connection to Non-flexible Pipe
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to not create any stress points at any part of the appliance.
