Instructions for the User

Installation

Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered competent person, and in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

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.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

Operation
Lighting the		burners
	For easier	lighting,		proceed before putting
	a pan on the pan support.
!#	To light a burner:
	turn the relevant knob anti-clockwise to maximum
	position (	), then push it down to ignite the
	burner.					Triple crown burner
Only for model ZGF 692 CT
						(mod. ZGF 692 C/CT)
#	Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down
	about 5 seconds. This will				allow the	A
	"thermocouple" (see diagram - letter D) to be					B
	heated and the safety device to be switched
	off, otherwise		the	gas supply	would be
	interrupted.					D
	Then adjust the flame as required.
#						C
	If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob
	to zero, and try again.					A - Burner cap
	If you cannot		light	the flame	even after	B - Burner crown
						C - Ignition electrode
	severalattempts, check the "cap" (see diagram
						D - Thermocouple (only in
	- letter A) and the"crown" (see diagram - letter
						model ZGF 692 CT)
	B) are in the correct position.

7

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.

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

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.

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

Using the Wok Stand (only for model ZGF 692 C, ZGF 692 CT)

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be used on the triple crown burner, and should not be used with any other type of wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown in the picture.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table below).

Burner	minimum	maximum
	diameter	diameter
Triple crown	180 mm	260 mm
Large (rapid)	180 mm	260 mm
Medium (semi-rapid)	120 mm	220 mm
Small (auxiliary)	80 mm	160 mm

8

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down

the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat

bottom.

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.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in

a fire, if over-heated.

The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore 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.

9

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

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 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.
	Pan Supports
	To keep the pan supports in the correct			Fig. 1
	position, they are hooked into hinges at the
	back of the hob.			YES
	Model ZGF 642: The pan supports can
	be lifted for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig.
	1.
	To remove the pan supports completely,
	proceed as shown in Fig. 2.

Model ZGF 692 C, ZGF 692 CT: The hob has two cast iron pan supports.
