2. Powered Rapid Burner

3. Semi-rapid Burners

4. Auxiliary Burner

5. Control knob for back right burner (semi-rapid)

When the hob is first installed

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Operation

Hob burner control knobs

The symbols on the knobs mean:

= no gas supply

= maximum gas supply

= minimum gas supply

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

Lighting the burners

To light a burner:

1. press the ignition pushbutton which is marked with a little spark ,

2. then push down the relevant control knob and turn it anticlockwise to maximum position.

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds.

If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

A - Burner cap B - Burner crown C - Ignition candle D - Thermocouple

After lighting the flame, keep the knob

pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Figs. letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If you cannot light the flame even after

several attempts, check the "cap" (A) and “crown” (B) are in the correct position.

In the absence of electricity, ignition can

occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

To switch off burners

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the

symbol ( ).

If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

The hob lid

In order to make the appliance match with the kitchen design, a lid can be fitted on the hob.

- The lid (available on request) is meant to avoid dust to settle on the hob, when it is closed, and to collect splashes of oil or fat, when it is open. Do not use it for any other purpose.

- Always wipe off any splash of liquid before opening the lid.

- Always clean the lid from cooking residues before opening it or taking it off.

WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when overheated. Always ensure all the burners are off before closing it.

Using the hob correctly

Practical hints

The burners

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you

should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used.

Rapid Burner diameter 18-26 cm Semi-rapid Burner diameter 12-22 cm Auxiliary Burner diameter 8-16 cm

• For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

• Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,

as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

• If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.

• Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.

• Make sure pots do not protrude over the

edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.

• Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.

• Pots must not enter the control zone.

• If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

• As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Cleaning and Mainteinance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The burners

" The burner caps and crowns can be

removed for cleaning.

" Wash the burners taps and crowns using

hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.

" After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a

soft cloth.

" Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns"

with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.

The pan supports

" The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If

washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

The Hob Top

" Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft

cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

" Should the hob top become heavily soiled,

the following products are recommended:

- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

" Do not leave acid or alkaline substances

(e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the cooktop.

The Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a

ceramic electrode with a metal electrode (Fig C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (Fig - B) are not obstructed.

A - Burner cap B - Burner crown C - Ignition candle D - Thermocouple
