Dear Customer,
We thank and congratulate you on your choice.
This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with
top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to
thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and
meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every
need, achieving perfect cooking.
Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This
manual contains important information, not only for use of the
appliance, but safety and maintenance as well.
During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging
materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare
essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us,
you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend
you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you.
Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a
negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container
and dispose of it at a collection point. If this is not possible, dispose
of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled
landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water
pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will
appreciate it.
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it
inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility.
Your local government can provide you with the necessary information
on the nearest collection facility.

Important information for
installation
1 - For safety reasons, do not allow the flames
to extend beyond the edge of the cooking
appliance.
2 - Remember that the appliance heats up
when in use. Remember to use common
sense. The absence of a flame does not
mean that the appliance parts are no longer
hot.
3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should
not be used for room heating purposes.
4 - Make sure the power supply is
disconnected before dismantling the
appliance.
5 - Do not store
such as gasoline,
inflammable liquids near the appliance.
6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation
air flow.
•
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open
windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates
before using the appliance.
•
If you smell gas, your installer has not done
a proper job of checking for leaks. If the
connections are not perfectly light, you can
have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.
Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician.
See Warning, page. 3.
7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm
(30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets
installed in the upper part.

Cooking warnings
NO YES
Do not use small pots on
large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of
the pot.
Always use appropriate
pots for each burner.
This will prevent excessive
consumption of gas and
staining of the pots.
Do not cook without a lid, or
if the lid moves, as this causes
a partial energy loss.
Do not use pots with
irregular bottoms as they
lengthen cooking time and
increase energy consumption.
Do not place the pot
off-center over the burner, as
tipping could result.
Do not use large-diameter
pots on the burners near
the control knobs, which, once
centered over the burner,
could touch the knobs or be
close enough to them that the
temperature of that area increases, possibly causing
damage.
Never place pots
directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weights
or strike the cooktop with
heavy objects.
Always use the lid.
Use only pots, pans and
casseroles with flat, thick
bottoms.
Center the pot over
the burner.
Place the pot over
the grate.
Make sure that the grates
and burner covers
are in the correct
positions before using the
appliance.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat a single
pot.
Avoid using roasting grilles,
earthen pots, etc. for
extended periods at
maximum power.
Handle pots carefully when
they are on the cooktop.

Advice on using the appliance
DO NOT DO
Do not use washing powder,
oven-cleaning sprays or
scourers that might scratch
the glass.
Never use sharp objects
such as metal scourers or
knives to remove the
hardened remains of food
from the surface.
Never use a knife, scraper
or similar device to clean the
area where the glass meets
the trim of the burners or the
decorative metal frame.
Do not slide pans over the
glass because they could
scratch it. In addition, try not
to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never
strike any part of the cooking
hob.
After each use, clean the surface
of the respective burner parts
once they are cold. If any bits
are left (overcooked food,
drops of grease etc.),
however few they will become
stuck to the surface and more
difficult to remove later.
To keep the burners and
pan supports clean, you
must clean them
periodically by placing them
in soapy weather and
brushing and with a nonmetallic brush to ensure that
the holes and grooves are
perfectly clean, and can
provide a perfect flame.
Always dry the burner
covers and the pan
supports if they have
become wet.
Use a glass scraper, and
always lay it flat to the glass,
taking special care not to
get it too near to the trim on
the gas burners.
After finishing cleaning, dry all
the burner parts together w ith
their casing. T he ring and the
burner cap must be inserted

oisture and the incorrectM
positioning of the respective
burner parts w ill affect the
uniformity of the flame
generated.
Melted sugar and spilt foods that have a high sugar content should immediately be removed from
the hotplate using the glass scraper. After washing the pan supports, dry them well before using
them to cook again - if there are still any drops of water or damp patches left when you start
cooking, they could damage the enamel.
When cleaning the pan supports, be careful with the pegs, as they could come loose and scratch
the glass or the frame the next time you use the pan support.

It is obligatory for the place where the appliance
is to be installed to have standard ventilation.
Thus, it is necessary for the combustion gases to
be vented outside.
Check the dimensions of the cooktop as well
as the dimensions of the hole to be cut in the
kitchen unit.
The panels located above the work surface, next
to the cooktop, must be made of noninflammable material. The stratified coatings and
,
the adhesive that fixes them must be heat-resistant
to prevent possible deterioration.
Electrical cables must not come into contact with
heat zones.
The power cable must be fastened to the kitchen
unit to keep it from touching the hot parts of the

Informations importantes pour
l'installation et l'utilisation
1 - Ne permettez pas que des flammes
dépassent le bord de l'ustensile de cuisine.
Cette instruction est fondée sur des
considérations de sécurité.
2 - N'oubliez pas que l'appareil chauffe lorsqu'il
est en fonctionnement. Le sens commun est
important. L'extinction des flammes ne signifie
par que les pièces ne sont plus chaudes.
3 - Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet appareil
ne doit pas être destiné à chauffer une piéce.
4 - Assurez-vous de déconnecter l'alimentation
électrique avant de démonter l'appareil.
5 - Maintenez la zone de l'appareil propre et
libre de matières combustibles, par exemple
essence, autres vapeurs et liquides
inflammables.
6 - N'obstruez pas le flux d'air de combustion
et de ventilation.
Si un brûleur s éteint et que du gaz s échappe,
•
ouvrir les portes et les fenêtres. Attendre que
le gaz dissipe avant d utiliser la cuisinière.
S il y a une odeur de gaz, l installateur n a
'
•
pas bien vérifié les fuites a gaz. Si les joints ne
sont pas parfaitement étanches, il peut y avo-
ir une petite fuite de gaz, et de là, une légère
odeur. Trouver une fuite de gaz n est pas une
procédure à faire soi-même. Certaines fuites
ne peuvent être trouvées qu en plaçant le con-
trôle du brûleur en position ON et ceci doit
être accompli par un technicien en entretien
et réparation qualifié. Voir Avertissement,
page 24.
7 - Il faut conserver une distance minimum de
762 mm (30”) entre la table de cuisson à gaz
et les armoires placées sur la partie supérieure.
8 - Le régulateur de pression de gaz fourni avec
l'appareil doit être installé sur la ligne des tuyaux
de gaz.

9 - L'appareil et sa soupape d'arrêt individuelle
doivent être déconnectés du circuit
d'alimentation en gaz pendant la réalisation
d un test de mise en pression du système à
'
des pressions d 'essai excédant
3,5 kPa (1/2 psig).
L'appareil doit être isolé du circuit
d'alimentation en gaz par fermeture de son
robinet d'arrêt manuel individuel pendant la
réalisation d'un test de pression du circuit

'
èquivalentes ou inférieures à 3,5 kPa(1/2 psig)
10 - Important : quand un récipient très grand
est utilisé, laissez un espace minimum de 50
mm (2”) pour éviter d'endommager la surface
du plan de travail de la table de cuisson en
bois, plastique ou dans d'autres matériaux ne
résistant pas à la chaleur. Surveillez en
permanence l'huile ou la graisse chaude.
11 - Veiller à ne pas laisser de l huile ou de la
graisse sans surveillance.
Toujours allumer la hotte lorsque vous cuisi-
•
nez à température élevée ou que vous faites
flamber de la nourriture (p.ex. des crêpes
Suzette, des cerises jubilées, du boeuf au
poivre flambé).
Utiliser une température élevée sur la plaque
•

12 - Ne pas nettoyer la cuisinière alors
qu elle est encore chaude. Certains produits
'
nettoyants produisent des vapeurs nocives
lorsqu ils sont appliqués sur une surface
'
chaude. Les linges ou éponges mouillés
peuvent causer des brûlures par la vapeur.
Aprés un renversement ou un débordement,
éteindre le brûleur et laisser refroidir la
plaque de cuisson. Nettoyer autour du brûleur et des orifices de combustion. Après
le nettoyage, vérifier le bon fonctionnement.
Utiliser une dimension appropriée de
casserole. L utilisation d un ustensile de
'
'
cuisson trop petit expose une partie de
l élément chauffant ou du brûleur au contact
'
direct et l ignition des vêtements peut en
'
résulter. Choisir un ustensile de cuisson
au fond plat et assez grand pour couvir la
surface de l elément chauffant. Cette cuisi
nière est munie d éléments chauffants de
'
'

• Faites attention à ce que les courants d'air
provoqués par les ouvertures de ventilation forcée
ou de ventilateurs ne soufflent pas la matière
inflammable vers les flammes ou poussent les
flammes de sorte à ce qu'elles dépassent des bords
du récipient.
• Utilisez toujours des ustensiles ayant la partie
inférieure plate et dont le fond est suffisamment
grand pour couvrir le brûleur. Si vous utilisez des
ustensiles ayant des dimensions inférieures, une
partie de la flamme peut être à découvert et incendier
les vêtements.
• Pour minimiser le risque de brûlures, d'ignition
des matières inflammables et de déversements non
voulus, placez les manches des ustensiles vers
l'intérieur, de sorte qu'ils ne dépassent pas des
zones de travail adjacentes, des zones de cuisson
ou du bord de la table de cuisson.
• Pour éliminer le risque de brûlure ou d incendie
en tendant le bras au-dessus d éléments de surfa-
ce chauffés, éviter de placer des armoires de ran-
gement au-dessus des éléments de suface.
Si l on doit placer une armoire de rangement, on
'
peut réduire le risque en installant une hotte qui
ressort horizontalement d au moins 12,7 cm (5 po)
du bas de l armoire.au-delà
• Prenez le manche du récipient pour éviter que
l'ustensile se déplace en remuant ou en retournant
les aliments.
• LA GRAISSE EST INFLAMMABLE. Laissez
refroidir la graisse chaude avant d'essayer de la
manipuler. Evitez d'accumuler des dépôts de graisse.
Nettoyez la table de cuisson après chaque utilisation.
• Pour que les brûleurs s'allument et fonctionnent
correctement, maintenez propres les sorties. Il faut
nettoyer ces sorties quand il s'est produit un
déversement ou quand le brûleur ne s'allume pas,
même si les allumeurs électroniques font click.
Consultez la section sur l'entretien et la maintenance.
• Ne soulevez jamais une casserole en feu car
vous pourriez vous brûler.
• Nettoyez la table de cuisson avec précaution.
Evitez les risques de brûlures provoqués par la
vapeur ; n'utilisez pas d'éponge ni de chiffon mouillé
pour nettoyer la table de cuisson tant qu'elle est
chaude. Certains produits de nettoyage produisent
des vapeurs nocives s'ils sont appliqués sur une
surface chaude. Suivez les instructions fournies par
le fabricant du produit de nettoyage.
• Assurez-vous d'avoir éteint tous les contrôles
de la table de cuisson et qu'elle est froide avant
d'utiliser un produit de nettoyage en aérosol sur la
plaque de cuisson ou autour de celle-ci. Les produits
chimiques produisant l'action de pulvérisation, en
présence de chaleur, peuvent prendre feu ou
provoquer une corrosion des pièces métalliques.
