BEFORE USING THE COOKING HOB
To get full satisfaction of your cooking
hob, please read these instructions
carefully and keep them for future
consultation.
Keep the packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of the reach of
children, as they are potentially dangerous.
Check whether the cooking hob has been
damaged during transport.
Ensure that the installation and gas/electrical
connections are performed by a qualified
technician, following the manufacturer's
instructions and in compliance with current
local safety regulations.
SUGGESTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
1. Packaging
The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and
is marked with the recycling symbol , which
identifies it as a type of material that must be sent
to local waste-disposal centres.
2. Product
The cooking hob is made out of recyclable material.
When scrapping it, comply with local waste-
disposal regulations. Before disposing of it, cut its
power cable off in order to render it inoperative.
PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL ADVICE
Before any cleaning or maintenance
operation, disconnect the cooking hob from
mains power supply.
The use of a gas appliance produces heat and
humidity in the room. Ensure that the room is
well ventilated, or install an extractor hood
with exhaust duct.
In case of prolonged use, additional
ventilation may be needed (opening a window
or increasing the extraction force of the hood).
Keep children away from the cooking hob
when it is in use.
After use, ensure that the knobs are in
position (off), and close the main gas
delivery valve or the gas cylinder valve.
Caution: the lid (where present) might break
if overheated. Before closing it, make sure
that all the burners are off.
Warning: The protective rubber feet on the
panstand grids represent a choking hazard for
young children. After cleaning the panstand
grids, please ensure that all the rubber feet
are correctly fitted.
Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones
without pots.
The cooktop features different size hotplates/
cooking zones. Use pots whose base diameter
is the same as that of the hotplate/cooking
zone.
To avoid permanently damaging the glass
ceramic cooktop, do not use:
- pots with bottoms that are not perfectly flat;
- metal pots with enamelled bottom.
Do not use the cooktop as a work or support
surface.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when
frying food -risk of fire.
If the glass ceramic surface breaks or cracks
due to a violent impact (falling objects, etc.)
do not use it, immediately call the After-Sales
Service.
Do not place food wrapped in aluminium foil,
plastic containers or cloths on the hot cooking
zones.
To avoid scratches, do not drag pots across the
glass ceramic surface.
Avoid spilling sugar and similar substances on
the glass ceramic cooking zones. If necessary,
clean the cooktop immediately, following the
care and maintenance instructions given in
this handbook.
