Vorwort
Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice and thank you for
purchasing one of our appliances. This practical, modern
and functional appliance is manufactured using materials
of the highest quality, which are subject to strict quality
control checks throughout the entire manufacturing
process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure
that it meets your demands and produces perfect cooking
results.
Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging
until it is installed in the unit.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding
to install and use the appliance. The information contained
in these instructions is essential for the correct operation of
the appliance and, more importantly, for your safety.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured
using only the materials which are strictly necessary to
guarantee efficient protection during transport. These
materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the
environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring for
the environment by following the advice below:
■ Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin
■ Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you
disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the
address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of
your appliance
■ Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed
container and take it to an appropriate collection point or,
failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but
it will avoid contaminating ground water)
Important:
In the unlikely event that the appliance should be damaged
or does not meet your expectations in terms of quality,
please inform us as soon as possible. For the warranty to
be valid, the appliance must not have been tampered with,
or used inappropriately.

Gas burners
There are indications to show which burner
each control knob operates.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner
parts and pan supports are correctly
installed for the appliance to work correctly.
Switching on manually
1. Press the chosen burner control knob
and turn it anticlockwise to the required
setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette
lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close
to the burner.
Switching on automatically
If your hob can be switched on
automatically (ignition sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob
and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum
power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed
down, sparks are produced on all
burners. The flame ignites.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required
setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control
knob to the off setting and repeat the steps
above. This time, press and hold the
control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
m Risk of deflagration!
If after 15 seconds the flame does not
ignite, switch off the burner and open a
nearby window or door. Wait at least one
minute before trying to switch the burner
back on.
Safety system
Depending on the model, your hob may
have a safety system (thermocouple) that
prevents the flow of gas if the burners
accidentally switch off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1. Switch on the burner as usual.
2. Without releasing the control knob, press
and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds
after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob
clockwise to the 0 setting.
Power levels
The progressive control knobs can be used
to control the power needed, from
minimum to maximum power.

Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise
while the burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the
burner to give off odours. This does not
pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is
caused by the presence of dust in the
atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid
when this gas appliance is used. You must
therefore ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: Either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install a
ventilation system (extractor hood).
Intense and prolonged use of the appliance
may mean additional ventilation is required
(for example, opening a window) or more
effective ventilation (for example,
increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown
out, switch off the burner operating control
knob and do not try to relight it for at least
one minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched
off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is
not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the
ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light
properly. Clean them periodically using a
small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the
ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.
Due to the plastic covering used to protect
the stainless steel on this appliance, you
may find remains of adhesive on engraved
areas. Remove them using a damp cloth.

Cooking pans
Suitable pans
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help
you save energy and prevent pan damage:
Burner Minimum pan
diameter
Maximum pan
diameter
Double-flame
burner
22 cm
Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm
Semi-rapid
burner
14 cm 20 cm
Auxiliary burner 12 cm 16 cm
Use pans which are the right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not
touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the
hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes energy.
Always place the pan right over the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the burners near the control
knobs. These may be damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Page 9

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on
it.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge
to clean it with soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the
respective burner parts once they have
cooled down. If any residue is left (bakedon food, drops of grease etc.), however
little, it will become stuck to the surface and
more difficult to remove later. The holes
and grooves must be clean for the flame to
ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave
metal residue on the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using
soapy water and scrub with a non-wire
brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber
rests, ensure that these are also cleaned.
The rests may come loose and the pan
support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports
completely. Water droplets or damp
patches on the hob at the start of cooking
may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners,
make sure the burner caps are correctly
positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
Do not use steam cleaners. This could
damage the hob.
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is
spilt. This will prevent food remains from
sticking to the hob surface and you will
save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Due to the high temperatures endured, the
double-flame burner and the stainless steel
areas (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.)
can become discoloured. This is normal.
After each use, clean these areas with a
product that is suitable for stainless steel.
Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon
juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
It is recommended that the cleaning
product available from our Technical
Assistance Service (code 464524) is used
regularly.
