3.3 Using the hob

All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device.

Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to

and wait 60 seconds before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.

In case of an accidental switching off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. Return the knob to and wait at least 60 seconds before lighting it again.

Correct positioning of the grids

The grids over the burners must be positioned in parallel to the control panel, not perpendicular.

Correct positioning of the flamespreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes in the burners are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly engaged in the burner holes.

Use

Practical tips for using the hob

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over.

Cookware diameters:

• Auxiliary: 7 - 18 cm.

• Semi-rapid: 10 - 24 cm.

• Reduced rapid: 18 - 24 cm.

• Medium rapid: 20 - 26 cm.

• Large rapid: 20 - 26 cm.

To prevent burns or damage to the hob or the counter top during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

Using a griddle

A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle:

• The griddle can be pre-heated with the burner on maximum power for no more than 10 minutes.

• It is recommended you reduce the power during cooking;

• Do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle;

• Leave a gap of at least 150 mm between the edge of the griddle and the side wall;

• Do not place the griddle over more than one burner at the same time.

Cleaning and maintenance

4 Cleaning and maintenance

4.1 Instructions

Improper use

Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use steam jets for cleaning the appliance.

• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).

• In case of contact with overly harsh detergents, hard water or spills (cooking water, sauce, coffee etc.), clean the hob as soon as it has cooled.

• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).

• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

• Do not wash the removable components such as the hob pan stands, flame-spreader crowns and burner caps in a dishwasher.

4.2 Cleaning the appliance

To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use.

Let them cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.

Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cooking hob grids

Remove the grids and clean them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob.

Rubbing of pans can leave marks on the grids; these can be removed with mildly abrasive products.

Continuous contact between the grids and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps

For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader crowns and the burner caps can be removed. Wash them in hot water and nonabrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry. Refit the flame-spreader crowns making sure that they are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.

Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary.

Remove any dry residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

Installation

5 Installation

5.1 Safety instructions

Heat production during appliance operation

Risk of fire

• Check that the piece of furniture material is heat resistant.

• Check that the piece of furniture has the required slots.

Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperatureresistant (>90°C), otherwise they might warp over time.

The minimum distance between a ventilation hood and the cooking surface must be at least the distance indicated in the ventilation hood installation instructions.

The minimum distances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in the mounting illustrations.

5.2 Section cut from the work surface

The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman.

Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (>90°C).

Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the work surface of the piece of furniture. Keep a minimum distance of 50 mm from the rear edge.

This appliance may be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on condition that a minimum distance of 150 mm is kept between the appliance and the wall, as shown in the figure, so as to avoid damage from overheating.

Make sure there is a minimum distance of

750 mm between the hob and any shelf that may be installed directly above it.
