7. USE OF THE HOB

7.1 Lighting of the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in th

correct position and that their burner caps are in place, making sure that
the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark plugs an
thermocouples.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass cover; before lowering the
cover, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool down.

The optional grid B is for use with “woks” (Chinese pans).
To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker with
raised pan stand C to be placed underneath pans more than 26 cm i
diameter.
The supplied reduction rest C is also used for small pans.

20

The drawing next to each knob shows the
corresponding burner. The appliance has an
electronic lighting device. Simply press and turn the
knob anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol

, until the ring is lit. Hold the knob down for a few
seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up.
The burner may go out when the knob is released:
this is because the thermocouple has not been
sufficiently heated. Repeat the operation holding
down the knob for a little longer. This operation is
not necessary for burners without thermocouples.

For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out,
a safety device will be activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap
is open.

Instructions for the user

7.2 Practical advice for using the hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered
containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame
from licking the sides (see paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”).
When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t
overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle
plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob. All containers
have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be
extremely careful that they don’t overheat and catch fire.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10.1 Cleaning stainless steel and enamelled versions

To maintain stainless steel in good condition it must be cleaned regularly
after each use, once it has cooled down.

10.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

10.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will
damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden
or plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
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.

10.2 Cleaning of the hob components

10.2.1 Grids

Remove the grids and clean them in warm water with a non-abrasive
detergent, taking care to remove any incrustations. Replace them on the
hob.
Continuous contact of the grids with the flame can cause the paint near
the hot areas to be altered. This is completely natural and does not
compromise the functionality of the component.

10.2.2 Burner caps and flame cap crowns

The caps and flame-spreader crowns
are extractable to facilitate cleaning.
Wash them in hot water with non­abrasive detergent, taking care to
remove any incrustations, and wait until
they are perfectly dry.

WARNING: do not wash these
components in the dishwasher.

Replace the flame-spreader crowns, checking that they are positioned in
their housing with their respective caps, taking care that flame-spreader
holes A correspond to the spark plugs and the thermocouples.

27

Instructions for the user

10.2.3 The spark plugs and thermocouples

To function properly the spark plugs and
thermocouples must always be clean (on the models
which are equipped with them). Check them regularly
and clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Any dry
residues can be removed with a toothpick or a needle.

10.2.4 The burners

The burners can be left to soak in hot water and detergent.

10.3 Cleaning of oven

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take
out all removable parts.

28

• Clean the oven grill with hot water and non-abrasive detergent.
Rinse and dry.

11. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Ovens periodically require small maintenance interventions or
replacement of parts subject to wear and tear such as gaskets, electric
bulbs etc. Specific instructions for each intervention of this type appear
below.

Before performing any operations requiring access to powered
parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.

11.1 Lubrication of gas taps

With time it may happen that the gas taps get blocked and hard to turn.
Clean them inside and re-grease them. This operation must be done

by an authorised person.

11.2 Replacement of light bulbs

Remove cover A by twisting anticlockwise, replace bulb B with another
similar bulb. Refit the cover A.

Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).

11.3 Dismantling of the doors

Hold the door on both sides with
both hands near hinges A and
raise levers B. Lift up the door
forming an angle of about 45°
and remove. To refit, slide the
hinges A in the grooves, drop
the door and release levers B.

11.4 Oven door gaskets

The door gaskets can be dismantled for thorough
cleaning of the ovens. Before removing the gaskets the
oven doors must be removed as previously described.
With the doors removed, raise the tabs at the corners
as shown in the figure.

11.5 Preventive maintenance

This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few
simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent
malfunctioning:

Burners: the burners must be cleaned after every use to ensure correct
combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean and
free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports.

Gas connection: the gas connection must be c hecked periodically (at least
every 2 years). Each time the cooker is moved the connection may be
stressed: test it for leakages using special sprays or a solution of soap and
water.

Flexible pipes: if a flexibl e pipe is used, it must be inspected periodic ally
(once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe appears rigid and
cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas supply and
replace the pipe with a new one.

Valves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be cleaned
and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an authoris ed person.

Oven gasket: with time the oven gasket may harden and crack on the
surface, resulting in leakage of heat from the oven and higher temperatures
on the control panel and knobs. Check it periodically (once a year) and
replace it if necessary.
