USE

Notes:
Use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
The room must therefore be well ventilated by keeping the natural air vents clear (fig. 3) and by
activating the mechanical aeration device (suction hood or electric fan fig. 4 and fig. 5).
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This can be
achieved by opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical exhausting system if
installed.

PLATES

Mixed hot plates may be equipped with a normal or
rapid electric plate. It is controlled by switches with
various positions (see fig. 6) and is switched on by
turning the knob to the required setting. A diagram
is screen-printed above each knob on the front

panel. This diagram indicates to which electric plate
the knob in question corresponds (see fig. 6). A red
warning light will come on to indicate that the plate
is operating.
A purely indicative regulation table for the normal
electric plate is given below.

USE

WARNINGS:
When the plate is switched on for the first time,
or if it has remained unused for a long period,
it should be dried for 30 minutes on switch
position n° 1. This will eliminate any moisture
that may have been absorbed by the insulating
material.
To correctly use the appliance, remember:

- To place a pan on the plate before switching
this on.

- To always use pans with flat and very thick
bottoms (see fig. 7).

- To never use pans that are smaller than the
plate diameters.

- To dry the bottom of the pan before placing it
on the plate.

- Never leave the appliance unattended when
the plates are being used. Make sure that there
are no children in the near vicinity. Particularly

make sure that the pan handles are correctly
pos itio ned a nd keep a chec k on food s

time even use after use, never touch them
with the hands or other objects in order to
prevent burns.

- Immediately disconnect the appliance from the
electricity main as soon as cracks are noted
on the surfaces of the plates.
