About Installation, Cleaning
and Manteinance

• It is mandatory that all operations required for the
installation are carried out by a qualified or competent
person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.

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

• Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.

• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.

• Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat

and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.

• In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.

• Once you removed all packaging from the appliance,
ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable
is in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your

HOB BURNERS CONTROL KNOBS

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob front
panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :

l there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

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

• Depress the relevant switch marked with a small spark.

Then, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti­clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

USING THE HOB CORRECTLY

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table
beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

•Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,

if over-heated.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for
about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple"
(Fig. 1 lett. 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" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig. 1 lett.
B) are in the correct position. To put the flame out, turn
the knob to the symbol l.

• 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.

• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.

THE HOB LID

In order to make the appliance match with the kitchen
design, a lid (not provided) can be fitted on the hob.

l The lid 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.

l Always wipe off any splash of liquid before

opening the lid.

l Always clean the lid from cooking residues before

opening it or taking it off.

l WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when

overheated. Always ensure all the burners are
off before closing it.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or

manteinance work.

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is
obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal
electrode (Fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.

PAN SUPPORTS

To keep the pan supports in the right position, they are
hooked to a couple of special hinges in the back of the
hob.
Thanks to these hooks, you can lift the pan supports
for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig. 2.
To take the pan supports completely off the hob,
proceed as shown in Fig. 3.

CAST IRON PAN SUPPORTS

Caution!
When removing the cast iron pan supports, lift
them up as shown in Fig. 3. Never turn the pan
supports on the hinges as shown in Fig. 2,
since this could damage them.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.

l The periodic lubrication of the taps must be

carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
