Instructions for disposal
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL – OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing
of the packing correctly. Find the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Do not throw the packing or any part of it away. They 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

means intelligent recycling of valuable materials.
It is also necessary to cut the interconnecting cable to the power supply
network, removing it along with the plug.

5. USING THE HOB
5.1 Gas hob
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 A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and
thermocouples.
Before using the electric plates or the barbecue (if included) for the first
time, pre-heat them to the maximum temperature long enough to burn off
any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad smell.
The pan stand B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooker
hob, it comes complete with a raised pan stand C. This must be placed
under pans with a diameter bigger than those indicated in the table in point
"5.3 Pan diameters". The pan stand C must never be used on the ultra-
rapid burner.
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 counterclockwise to the maximum flame
symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light in
the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait
at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.
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 a longer time. This is not necessary on burners that are
not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be
adjusted as needed. Always check that the control knobs are in the (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. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60
seconds before trying to light the burner again.

5.2 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 avoiding that the flames reach the sides of the pan (see point "5.3
Pan 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 pans or griddle
plates 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.

If you have the Tepanyaki plate (optional extra) never use it on the ultrarapid burner for any reason.
Warning:
At the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases you may find white
residues on the cast iron pan stands. These residues are usually caused
by the pan base rubbing against the pan stand and are difficult to remove
with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive products
to clean the pan stand could damage its enamel surface.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered
parts, switch off the power supply to the appliance.
6.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let it cool first.
6.1.1 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use only specific
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
6.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will
damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for
steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

6.2 Cleaning the gas components
For easier cleaning the pan stands, burner caps,
flame spreader crowns and burners can all be
removed; wash them with warm water and a nonabrasive detergent making sure to remove any
encrustation and wait until they are perfectly dry.
Replace the burner caps on their corresponding
crowns, making sure that the slots A are centred
with the burner pins B.
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.
