About Installation, Cleaning and Maintenance

• 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 dealer before proceeding with the installation.

• The manufacturer disclaims any responsability should all the safety measures not be carried out.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by unexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Instruction for the User

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

Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

 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.



To light a burner, push in the relevant knob and turn it counterclockwise to "maximum position". 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 .

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

Manual switch-on (in case of interruption of the electric supply) : approached a flame to the burner and push in the relevant knob and turn it counterclockwise to "maximum position".

Fig. 1

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.

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 (fig. 2 -a). 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.

Burner minimum maximum

diameter diameter

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.

Use of electric plates

To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the required position. The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch: Position 0: off Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.

Using the plates correctly

 When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a

thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect conduction (Fig. 2-b).

 Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these

loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the even distribution of heat and the saving of energy. Cooking time is also lengthier.

 As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,

the plate and the saucepan should have the same diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.

 Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch

off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the food and save energy.

Medium (semirapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.

Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

Fig. 2 - a

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care must be taken as these can self-ignite when over-heated.

Rapid plates

The rapid plates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time.

This will not affect the performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.

Before the First Use of the Appliance

Before using the appliance remove all packaging, including the advertising labels and any protective film.

When using the hob for the first time:



1) place on all the plates a pan filled with some water;

2) switch the plates on for about 10 minutes at “maximum” position until water inside the pans boils;

3) then, turn the control knob to “minumum” and allow the plates to run for approximately 20 minutes;

4) open a window for ventilation.

During this time, the plates may smoke a little and an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal and is caused by residues of manufacturing.

Once this operation is carried out, let the plates to

cool down, then clean them with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.
