39
Use
Correct positioning of the flamespreader 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: 7 - 18 cm.
• SR: 10 - 24 cm.
• RR: 12 - 24 cm.
• R: 14 - 26 cm.

• UR2:12 - 26 cm.
During cooking, in order to avoid burns or
damage to the hob or top, all pans or
griddles must be positioned inside the outer
edge of the hob and at a minimum distance
of 50 mm from the knobs.
40
Use
Limitations on griddle use
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• Griddles must never protrude beyond
the edge of the hob.
• Aluminium griddles with Teflon anti-stick
coating should be pre-heated for a
maximum of 5 minutes in order to avoid
damage to the appliance and the Teflon
coating. After pre-heating, place the
foodstuffs on the griddle to cook them;
do not exceed 40 minutes of total use for
the griddle.
• If one of the burners close to the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner (UR3 or
UR2), leave a gap of at least 160 mm
between this wall and the edge of the
griddle;
• Do not use griddles or plates to cook or
heat food on the ultra-rapid/triple crown
burner (UR3) or the ultra-rapid/double
crown burner (UR2).
• It is not recommended to use
earthenware or steatite (soapstone) pans
to cook or heat food.
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle;
• Leave a gap of at least 160 mm
between the edge of the griddle and the
side wall;
• Do not place the griddle over more than
one burner at the same time.
• Never use the griddle for more than 40
minutes.

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.
After cleaning, dry the appliance
thoroughly to prevent water or
detergent drips from interfering
with its operation or creating
unsightly marks.
EN
Knobs
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when
cleaning the knobs, as these
products could cause permanent
damage.
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with warm water, then
dried carefully. They can easily be removed
by pulling them upwards.
