LIGHTING THE BURNERS
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to

the max. flame symbol. Press the knob against the control panel to
2.
ignite the burner. After the burner has ignited, keep the knob
3.
pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up. This safety device shuts off the gas if the flame goes out accidentally (draughts, interruption of gas, liquids boiling over, etc.).
18
The device must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. In this case, repeat the operations described above.

PRATICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS
For optimum burner performance, observe the following rules:
Use pots and pans that fit the burners (see table
on the right). Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
Use the correct amount of water for cooking
foods and keep the pot covered. Do not use pots and pans that protrude over the
edge of the hob
Do not use:
Two burners at the same time with only one pot
(e.g. fish kettle).
Important:
Do not place and/or drag the grids upside down on the hob as they could scratch it.

FIXING TO THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE ­CONVENTIONAL FITTED MODEL (SEMI-FLUSH)
Important: The following operation must be carried out by a competent technician. Installation can be carried out on different materials: such as masonry, metal, solid wood and plastic laminated wood provided it is heat resistant (T 90°C).
Make an opening in the top, of the dimensions shown in fig. 1. Carefully apply the insulating sealing strip (supplied) around the
outside edge of the hob as shown in the figure below, pressing lightly to make it adhere (Fig. 2).
Fig. 1
Fix the hob with the special brackets supplied. The supply includes 2 types of brackets:
- 7 of standard length (Service Code 4812 404 49874) for installation on kitchen tops thicker than 4 cm
- 7 longer than standard (Service Code 4812 404 49875) for installation on kitchen tops less than 4 cm thick

FIXING TO THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE ­FLUSH-MOUNTING MODEL
Important: The following operation must be carried out by a competent technician. Installation can be carried out on different materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood and plastic laminated wood provided it is heat resistant (T 90°C).
Make an opening in the cabinet top, of the dimensions shown in fig. 1; to correctly install the hob a 2 mm deep milling must also be made in the top (Fig. 4).
In case of laminated tops less than 2 mm thick, carry out the
Note:
milling in the cabinet as shown in the diagram (detail). Before positioning the hob, apply the adhesive sealing strip (supplied) on the entire bottom surface that will be in contact with the top (fig. 2). Carry out these operations:
Place the hob on the milling and, using the screws and brackets
supplied, fix it to the support structure, ensuring that it is perfectly flat (fig. 3).
Carefully trim the excess sealing strip (fig. 4). In case of
installation on wood (especially chipboard), if there are small spaces between the milling and the edge of the hob, fill with minimum amounts of silicone. The bottom part of the casing must be entirely accessible after installation.
Important:
Tighten (lightly by hand) the brackets fixing the hob to the
cabinet. If the cabinet worktop is in wood or similar, protect the edge
of the milling with a primer before closing with the sealing strip.
Fix the hob with the special brackets supplied. The supply includes 2 types of brackets:
- 7 of standard length (Service Code 4812 404 49874) for

ADJUSTMENT TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
If a different type of gas to that specified on the dataplate and on the orange sticker on the back of the hob is used, the injectors must be replaced, and in case of the Wok burner the primary air must be adjusted (see injector table). The orange sticker must be removed and kept with the instruction booklet.
Use pressure regulators suitable for the gas pressure indicated in the Product Sheet.
The injectors must be changed by the After-Sales
Service or a qualified technician.
Nozzles not supplied with the appliance must be
ordered from After Sales Service. Adjust the minimum setting of the taps.
• Note: With liquefied petroleum gas
(G30/G31), the minimum adjustment screw (by-pass) must be fully screwed down. Should you experience difficulty in turning the burner knobs, please contact the After Sales Service for the replacement of the burner tap if found to be faulty.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before any cleaning and/or maintenance operation, disconnect the hob from power supply and wait until it is cold.
Important: Never use steam cleaners. To keep the hob in perfect condition, remove any food residuals and clean it after every use. Hob cleaning:
The stainless steel surface may become stained in
case of prolonged contact with very hard water or aggressive detergents. It is advisable to immediately wipe any spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.). Clean with lukewarm water and neutral detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or shammy leather or specific cloth for cleaning stainless steel surfaces. Remove
baked-on dirt with specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces. Do not use abrasive or corrosive products,
chlorine-based products or scouring pads. Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not use flammable products.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as
vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
Note: Continuous use of the hob could cause the original colour to change at the burners, due to the high temperature of the flame. This does not affect hob operation or its performance.
CARE AND CLEANING OF HOB COMPONENTS
For models equipped with electric igniters
Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
Wash them by hand with hot water and neutral
1.
detergent, making sure to remove any encrustations and checking that the burner openings are not clogged.
Rinse out and dry carefully.
2.
Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the
3.
respective housings. When refitting the grids, make sure the potstand
4.
zone is aligned with the burner.
Note:
and safety thermocouples, the end part requires thorough cleaning in order to ensure correct operation. Check frequently and, if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
To avoid damaging the electric ignition, do not use it when the burners are not fitted.
