2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Consult the installation instructions for safety standards on electrical or gas appliances and for ventilation functions. In your interests and for your safety the law requires that the installation and servicing of all electrical and gas appliances be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the standards in force. Our approved installers guarantee a satisfactory job. Gas or electrical appliances must always be uninstalled by suitably skilled people. Before connecting the appliance to the power grid, check the data on the plate against the data for the grid itself.

The identification plate, with technical data, serial number and marking is clearly visible under the casing.

Do not remove the plate on the casing for any reason.

Before connecting the appliance, ensure that it is set to the type of gas that it will be supplied with, checking the label applied under the casing.

Before carrying out installation/maintenance work, make sure that the appliance is disconnected from the power grid.

The plug to be connected to the power supply cable and its socket must be of the same type and conform to the standards in force. The socket must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the cable. If the power supply cable is damaged, contact the technical assistance centre immediately and they will replace it.

The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards.

Immediately after installation, carry out a quick test on the appliance following the instructions provided later in this manual. Should the appliance not function, disconnect it from the power supply and call the nearest technical assistance centre. Never attempt to repair the appliance. The appliance becomes very hot during use. Take care never to touch the heating elements.

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.

Instructions for the user

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.
