3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the
product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective
collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the
retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the
appliance consists. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with
current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It 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 electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

4. USING THE HOB
4.1 Lighting the hob burners
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 1
in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs 3 and thermocouples 2.
To prevent damage to the work top, the hob comes complete with a raised pan
stand 4: This must be placed under pans with a diameter greater than those
indicated in the table in point "4.3 Cookware diameters". In any case, pans with
a diameter greater than 28 cm must be used solely on the central burner.
The pan stand 4 can also be used with woks.
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.
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
longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a
thermocouple.
Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that
the control knobs are in the O (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. Turn off the
control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.

4.2 Practical tips for using the burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a
flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus
preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see point “4.3 Cookware
diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough
to prevent the liquid from boiling over.
To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all cookware must be
placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if
overheated.
