Instructions for disposal
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL – OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing
of the packing correctly. Find the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Do not throw the packing or any part of it away. They 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
means intelligent recycling of valuable materials.
It is also necessary to cut the electric power cord and remove it along with
the plug.

Do not discard packing in the home environment. Separate the various

Before using the electric plates or the barbecue (if included) for the first
time, pre-heat them to the maximum temperature long enough to burn off
any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

Instructions for the user
6. USING THE HOB
6.1 Gas hob
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 plugs and
thermocouples.
The grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooker hob, it
comes complete with a raised pan stand C. This must be placed under
pans with a diameter bigger than those indicated in the table in point "6.3
Pan diameters". The pan stand C must never be used on the ultra-
rapid burner.
The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to
the knob. The appliance is equipped with an
electrical 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 0 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 a longer time. This is not necessary on burners that are
not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be
adjusted as needed. Always check that the control knobs are in the (off)
position when you finish using the hob.
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds 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.
