Disposal instructions

2. DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our products are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly.

Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly. Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials.

Cut the power supply lead and remove it and the plug.

4. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE

Auxiliary Burner (AUX) Rapid Burner (R)

Semi-rapid (SR) burner Ultrarapid Burner (UR3)

Raised spoke pan stand

5. BEFORE INSTALLATION

Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest separate disposal centre.

The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing residues. For further information, see point "7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".

When the electric plates or barbecue (when fitted) are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with unpleasant smells.

Instructions for the User

6. USING THE HOB

6.1 Gas hob

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in point "6.3 Pan diameters". All pans more than 30 cm in diameter must only be used on the central burner.

The burner it controls is shown next to each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

On models equipped with valves, once the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down 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, keeping the knob pressed down for longer. This is not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required. After each use of the hob, always check that the control knobs are turned to (off).

If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
