USE OF THE GAS BURNERS

• To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anticlockwise to the maximum flame setting .

•Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.

•After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up. This burner safety device shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out accidentally (because of sudden draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).

•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.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE GAS BURNERS

For optimum burner performance, observe the following rules:

-Use pots and pans that fit the burners (see table below).

-Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

-Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.

-In the case of pans with convex bottoms (WOK), use the support grille provided, which should be positioned only on the 4 ring burner.

Burner	Pot Ø
4 ring	24 to 26 cm
semi-rapid	16 to 22 cm

USE OF THE DUAL ZONE GLASS CERAMIC HOTPLATE

This hob is fitted with an electric hotplate which has two cooking zones that can be switched on separately, and a glass ceramic top. This combination delivers rapid and uniform transmission of heat, optimising cooking results and saving time.

	Minimum flame

•To switch on the single zone , turn the knob anticlockwise from 0. Power can be set from a minimum of 1 to a maximum setting of 12.

•To switch on the dual zone, turn the knob further, past

number 12, to the symbol Turn the knob clockwise to adjust the power which, in this case, will be in decreasing order, starting from a maximum setting of (12) to a minimum of (1).

•To revert to cooking with the single cooking zone after the dual zone has been switched on, first switch the hotplate off by turning the knob to 0.

•Next, repeat the operation described above.

Note: the electric hotplate is equipped with a residual heat indicator which switches on whenever the cooking zone reaches a dangerously hot temperature. This LED inidcator remains lit even after the hotplate is switched off, only switching off once the temperature of the glass no longer poses a threat.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE

-Use flat-bottomed pots and pans whose diameter is equal to, or slightly larger than, that of the cooking zones marked on the glass.

-Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.

Use the table below as a guide in order to select the most suitable heat setting, positioning the knob between 1 and 12.

	Knob	Table for using the cooking zones
	1-12
	1-2	Melting butter, chocolate, etc.
	2-3-4	Keeping food warm and reheating small quantities of
		liquid
	4-5-6	Heating larger quantities, making custards and sauces
	6-7	Gentle simmering, for example: boiled vegetables,

INSTALLATION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER

•This product can be installed in worktops between 20 and 40 mm thick.

•If there is no oven beneath the hob, insert a separator panel that has a surface at least equal to the opening in the work surface. This panel must be positioned at a maximum distance of 150 mm below the upper surface of the work surface but, in no case less than 20 mm from the bottom of the hob. If there is an oven beneath the hob, make sure that it is manufactured by Whirlpool and equipped with a cooling system. The manufacturer declines all liability if another brand oven is installed beneath the hob.

•Before installation, make sure that:

-the local gas delivery conditions (type and pressure) are compatible with the settings of the hob (see the rating plate and injector table).

-the outer surfaces of the furniture or appliances adjacent to the hob are heat resistant according to local regulations.

-combustion products are discharged outdoors through specific hoods or wall and/or window mounted electrical fans.

-continuous natural air circulation is ensured through a sufficient opening in the wall of at least 100 cm2. This wall opening must be:

a)permanent and in a wall to the outside of the room to be vented;

b)made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from the inside or outside (not even accidentally);

c)protected by plastic grids, metallic mesh, etc., taking care not to reduce the air vent effective area mentioned above;

d)located near floor level and positioned so as not to interfere with the operation of the exhaust system.
