Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice and thank you for purchasing one of our appliances. This
practical, modern and functional appliance is manufactured using materials of the highest
quality which are subject to strict quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing
process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands and
produces perfect cooking results.
Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to install and use the appliance.
The information contained in these instructions is essential for the correct operation of the
appliance and, more importantly, for your safety.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the materials which are
strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection during transport.
These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can also
contribute to caring for the environment, by following the advice below:
- dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin
- before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact your local authority
to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance
- do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed container and take it to an
appropriate collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating ground
water).
IMPORTANT:
In the unlikely event that the appliance should be damaged or not meet your expectations
in terms of quality, please inform us as soon as possible. For the warranty to be valid, the
appliance must not have been tampered with, or used inappropriately

Safety precautions
Read these instructions carefully. Reading these
instructions will enable you to use your appliance safely
and effectively.
All operations relating to installation, regulation and
conversion to other types of gas must be carried out by
an authorised installation engineer, respecting applicable
regulations, standards and the specifications of the local
gas and electricity providers. You are recommended to
contact the Technical Assistance Service to convert to
another type of gas.
Before installing your new hob, ensure that it is being
installed according to the assembly instructions.
This appliance can only be installed in a well-ventilated
place in accordance with existing regulations and
ventilation specifications. The appliance must not be
connected to a combustion product removal device.
This appliance has been designed for home use only, not
for commercial or professional use. This appliance
cannot be installed on yachts or in caravans. The
warranty will only be valid if the appliance is used for the
purpose for which it was designed.
The place in which the appliance is installed must have
fully-functioning ventilation, in accordance with the
regulations.
Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might
blow out the burners.
This appliance leaves the factory set to the type of gas
that is indicated on the specifications plate. If this must
be changed, read the Assembly instructions.
Do not tamper with the appliance's interior. If necessary,
call our Technical Assistance Service.
These operating and installation instructions should be
retained, and passed onto the buyer if the appliance is
sold.
Do not switch on the appliance if it is damaged in any
way. Contact our Technical Assistance Service.
The surfaces of cooking appliances heat up during use.
Care must be taken when using these appliances. Keep
children well away from this appliance.
This appliance is only intended for cooking purposes, not
as a heating system.
Fat or oil which is overheated can catch fire easily. Do not
leave oil or fats to heat up unattended. If oil or fats do
5
catch fire, never use water to put the fire out. Risk of
burns! Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and
switch off the hotplate.
In the event of a malfunction, turn off the appliance’s gas
and electricity supply. For repairs, call our Technical
Assistance Service.
If one of the control knobs will not turn, do not force it.
Call the Technical Assistance Service immediately, so
that they can repair or replace it.
Never place unstable pans on the hob or the burners, as
they may accidentally tip over.
Do not clean the hob using a steam cleaner. Risk of
electrocution!
This appliance is class 3 type, according to the EN 30-11 standard for gas appliances: built-in appliance.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, steamers,
flammable materials or non-food products below or near
this domestic appliance.

Switching on manually
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan
supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work
correctly. Fig. 2-3.
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,
matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

Switching on
automatically
If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).
2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner
on.

Warnings
Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the
burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device
is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without
releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly
for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
8
Suitable pans
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used.
You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated:
either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or
install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,
you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a
window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing
the hob's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off
the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight
it for at least one minute.
