light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob
to and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed
in for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple 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. Keep the knob pressed in
longer.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.
Correct positioning of the flame-spreader
crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their housings with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that
the holes in the burners are aligned with the
igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that
the flame-spreader crowns are correctly
engaged in the burner holes.

Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan.
Once the contents come to the boil, turn
down the flame far enough to ensure that
the liquid does not boil over.
Cookware diameters:
• AUX: 12 - 14 cm.
• SR: 16 - 24 cm.
• R: 22 - 26 cm.
• UR2: 12 - 30 cm.
To prevent burns or damage to the hob or
the counter top during cooking, all pans or
griddles must be placed inside the
perimeter of the hob.
Limitations on griddle use
Improper use
Risk of damage to the appliance
• Unless using for the first time, or in order
to get rid of accumulated moisture after a
prolonged period of inactivity, the plate
should not be switched on without
placing a pan on the surface.
• Use pans with a smooth, thick base.
• Never use pans that are smaller than the
plate.
• Dry the bottom of the pan before putting
it down on the plate.
• Do not place sheets of aluminium foil
directly on the surface of the plate
Improper use
Risk of injury
• When cooking foods with oil and fat,
which are highly inflammable, do not
move away from the plate at any point
during the cooking period.
• Even after use, the plates will remain hot
for a long time: to avoid burns do not
place your hands or other objects on
top of them.
• As soon as you notice a crack on the
surface of the plates, immediately
disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and contact the nearest
authorised technical assistance centre.
EN
39
Page 12
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• Griddles should be placed inside the
perimeter of the hob and should not
overlap this.
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm
between the edge of the griddle and the
side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner, leave a
gap of at least 160 mm between this
wall and the edge of the griddle;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle;
• Never use the griddle for more than 40
minutes.
• When using aluminium griddles with
Teflon non-stick coating, these should be
pre-heated empty for a maximum of 5
minutes in order to avoid damage to the
appliance and the coating. After preheating, place the foodstuffs on the
griddle to cook them; do not exceed
40 minutes of total use for the griddle.

• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickelor chromium-plating).
• If it comes into contact with aggressive
detergents, hard water or spills (cooking
water, sauces, coffee, etc.), clean
immediately after having let the hob cool
down.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and pan scourers) on glass
parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash removable parts such as
the hob grids, flame-spreader crowns
and burner caps in the dishwasher.
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use specific products only that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges and sharp
scrapers as they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products and a
wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a
microfibre 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.

Page 14
Cleaning and maintenance
Cooking hob grids
Remove the grids and clean them in
lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent. Make sure to remove any
encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
The continuous contact between
the grids and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over
time in those parts exposed to
heat. This is a completely natural
phenomenon which has no effect
on the operation of this
component.
Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader
crowns and the burner caps can be
removed. Wash them in hot water and nonabrasive detergent. Carefully remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are
perfectly dry. Refit the flame-spreader
crowns making sure that they are correctly
positioned in their housings with their
respective burner caps.
Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation the igniters and
thermocouples must always be perfectly
clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary.
Remove any dry residues with a wooden
toothpick or a needle.
