A copy of the identification plate is included in the booklet. It should be applied to the appropriate space on the back of the cover. Do not remove this plate for any reason.

Before the appliance is put into operation, all labels and protective films applied on external surfaces must be removed.

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surfaces. Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry using a soft cloth. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Do not use plastic kitchenware or containers. The high temperatures inside the oven could melt the plastic, damaging the appliance.

General instructions

Always check that the control knobs are in the “zero” (off) position when you finish using the appliance.

Do not use sealed tins or containers in the appliance. Overpressure may occur inside the containers during cooking, creating a danger of explosion.

Do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil sheets during cooking and do not place pans or trays on it to avoid damage to the enamelled surface.

Never place saucepans with bases which are not perfectly flat and smooth on the hob. Unstable cookware can lead to scalding.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Consult the installation instructions for safety standards on electrical or gas appliances and for ventilation functions. In your interests and for your safety the law requires that the installation and servicing of all electrical and gas appliances be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force. Our approved installers guarantee a satisfactory job. Gas or electrical appliances must always be uninstalled by suitably skilled people.

Before connecting the appliance to the power grid, check the data on the plate against the data for the grid itself.

If the appliance is installed on a raised platform, secure it using suitable fastening systems.

Before carrying out installation/maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power grid.

If cooking appliances are installed in motor vehicles (for example, camper vans, caravans etc.), they must only be used when the vehicle is stationary.

Install the appliance so that when opening the drawers or doors of units positioned at the level of the hob there is no possibility of making contact with pans positioned on top of it.

Immediately after installation, carry out a quick test on the appliance following the instructions provided later in this manual. Should the appliance not function, disconnect it from the power supply and call the nearest technical assistance centre.

The plug to be connected to the power supply cable and its socket must be of the same type and conform to the standards in force. The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the cable.

Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1 Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.

The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental care

Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot

accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

8. USING THE COOKING HOB

8.1 Lighting the burners

Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. Before lighting the burners, lift the glass lid (optional, not provided as standard); before closing it again, turn off all burners and wait for them to cool.

The optional pan stand B is for use with woks. To avoid deterioration of the hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand C for use underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter. The reduction C supplied is for use with small pans as well.

The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the

maximum flame symbol , until the burner lights. If it does

not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.

On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple.

On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.
