Dear customer,
We would like to thank and congratulate you for your choice.
This practical modern appliance has been made using materials of
the highest quality, which have been put through the strictest of
Quality Controls during manufacture and meticulously tested to
ensure that they meet all of your cooking demands. To make life
easier, this instructions booklet is divided up into two sections:
instructions of use and installation instructions.
We kindly ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee first-class results from the very start. This
booklet contains important information not only concerning use,
but also concerning your own personal safety and maintenance of
the appliance.
Our products need to be carefully packed to protect them during
transportation. All the material used for packing is considered
essential for this purpose and is also completely recyclable. You
too can contribut towards protecting the environment by disposing
of this material at your nearest recyclable refuse collection point.
Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the kitchen sink. Oil may
seriously damage the environment. Dispose of it in a closed container
at your nearest collection point or, failing this, dispose of it in your
rubbish bin. Although this last solution is far from perfect, your oil
will be taken to a controlled refuse dump where it will not be allowed
to pollute water. You and your children will appreciate it.
Render your old appliance useless before disposing of it at your
nearest recyclable refuse collection centre.
Your local authority will be pleased to inform you where your nearest
centre is.

Gas burners
fig 1.
Each control knob indicates which burner it controls.
fig 1.
To light a burner, push in the knob for the burner you
wish to use and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction to
the lighting position. Hold the knob at the maximum
position for a few seconds until the burner ignites and
then release and set the knob to the desired setting. If
the burner does not light at the first attempt, repeat the
operation.
If your hob does not come with any kind of automatic
ignition system, then light the burners with a naked flame
(cigarette lighter, matches, etc.).
If the spark plugs are dirty, then a fault may occur in the
ignition system. Keep them completely clean. Clean the
spark plugs using a small brush, remembering that the
plugs must not receive any kind of violent impact.
If your hob is equipped with burners with safety valves
which prevent gas from being released should the burners
accidentally go out, proceed to light as described above,
but keep the control knob pressed in until the burners
light and then for a few more seconds once alight. If
complete ignition does not occur, repeat the operation
keeping the knob pressed in for approx. 10 seconds
To turn the burners off, turn the control knob in a
clockwise direction to the 0 setting.
Your modern functional hob is equipped with progressive
valves which permit you to find the perfect flame setting
between maximum and minimum.
Depending on the model that you have purchased, your
hob may come with a triple-flame burner, the perfect
system for cooking paellas, using woks, etc.
Gas appliances create both heat and humidity in the
room they are used in. Make sure that your kitchen is
properly ventilated: keep natural ventilation outlets open
or install a mechanical ventilation system (extractor fan).
When using your appliance for a prolonged period of
time, it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation
e.g. by opening a window (without creating a draught)
or turning up the setting on your mechanical ventilation
system.

concave receptacles (Woks, etc...) fig 2.
If you do not have a pan support, then these are available
from your Service Centre, code 363300.
Coffee pot support: Depending on the model that you
have purchased, your hob may come equipped with an
additional coffee pot support. This pan support is only
for use on the auxiliary burner for receptacles with
diameters of less than 10 cm. If you do not have a pan
support, then these are available from your Service
Centre, code 184200.

Electric plates
Before using it for the first time, heat the electric plate
at maximum power with no receptacle for a period of
five minutes. Smoke and smells are normally given off
during this time. These will disappear with use. With the
exception of this first time, do not use your plates
without receptacles.
When you start the cooking process, you are
recommended to set the control knob to the maximum
position and then lower it to a mid position for the rest
of the process depending on the quantity and quality of
the food you are using.
You can turn the cooking plate off a little before the end
of the cooking process and make use of the heat inertia
created. This will help you save on energy bills and will
not affect the cooking process, which will continue thanks
to the heat accumulated on the plate.
Use receptacles with perfectly flat, thick bases similar
in size to the plate in use, never smaller.
Avoid liquids boiling over onto the plate surface and do
not use wet receptacles.

Warnings concerning cooking:
DON'Ts DOs
Do not use small
receptacles on large
burners. The flame
should not touch the
sides of receptacles.
Do not cook without lids
or with lids only partially
covering receptacles.
You are wasting energy.
Do not use receptacles
with uneven bases. They
lengthen cooking times and
increase energy
consumption.
Do not place receptacles on
burners off centre. They
could tip over.
Do not use wide-based
receptacles on the burners
nearest to the controls.
When centred on the burner,
they could touch the controls
or raise the temperature in
the area. This may damage
the hob.
Do not place receptacles
directly on top of burners.
Always use suitably sized
receptacles on each
burner. This helps avoid
excessive gas
consumption and prevents
receptacles from getting
tarnished.
Always use lids.
Only use thick-,flat-based
saucepans, frying pans
and casseroles.
Always place
receptacles in the
middle of burners.
Always place receptacle
on the pans support.
Make sure that the metal
grids and the tops of the
burners are correctly
positioned before using
them.
10
Do not use excessive
weights or strike the hob
with heavy objects.
Do not use two burners or
heat sources for a single
recipient.
Do not use baking trays,
earthenware dishes, etc...
at full heat for a long time
Handle receptacles on
the hob with care.
Only use one recipient
per burner. Use the
extra mental grid on the
burner with three
flames.
Page 12
Cleaning and maintenance:
DON'Ts DOs
Do not use scouring
powder, over cleaner
sprays or abrasive pads
that may scratch the glass.
Never use sharp objects
such as knives or wire wool
to remove the remains of
food that has become
encrusted onto the surface.
Do not use knives,
scrapers or similar
implements for cleaning
the joins between the glass
and the rims of the burners
or the metal surrounds.
Do not slide recipients over
the glass as they may
scratch it. Similarly, do not
drop hard or sharp objects
onto the glass. Avoid
Knocking any part of the
edge of the cooking plate.
Grains of sand, which may,
for example, come from
cleaning vegetables, can
scratch the glass surface.
Once the appliance is
cold, clean it with a
sponge and soapy
water.
Clean the surface of the
heating elements once
they have cooled down,
each time they are used.
Even small amounts of dirt
burn when it is switched
on again.
The burners and pans
support must be cleaned
regulary to keep them
clean. This is done by
submerging them in
soaply water and
scrubbing them them with
a non-metal brush to keep
the holes and slits free
from obstruction so they
can give a perfect flame.
Dry the burner covers
whenever wet or damp.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, make sure
that the covers are
properly in position on the
flame diffuser.
If the coating on the electric plates has worn off through use, smear them with a few
drops of oil or one of the maintenance products available on the market.
The high temperatures suffered by the cover on the triple-flame burner ring and the
stainless steel parts on your hob (plate rings, grease trays, area around burners, etc)
may become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after use with a
product suitable for stainless steel.
After washing the pans support, dry them thoroughly before cooking with them again.
The presence of droplets of water or dampness at the beginning of the cooking process
may damage the enamel surface.
Be careful with the feet on the metal grids when cleaning them; if they are detached,
the grid may scratch the glass next time it is used.
