DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

MAIN UNIT

All the commands and controls for the cooktop are located on the front panel.

CONTROL PANEL

Use the central front and the central rear burners for simmering or cooking smaller quantities of food requiring small cookware.
Use the left central and the right central burnersfor cooking large quantities of food, deep-fat frying, or cooking with large cookware.

USING THE COOKTOP

FIRE HAZARD
FOR YOUR SAFETY:

• Do not allow the burner flame to extend beyond the edge of the pan.
  
• Turn off all controls when not cooking.
  

NOTE: Check that the flame caps have been correctly installed on the flame diffuser rings. If it is an ultra rapid burner, make sure that the notches A are centered correctly with the pins B.

Ignition with safety device

Each knob has a symbol that shows the corresponding burner (the example on the left shows the front left burner).
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition.

• Just press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol until the burner switches on.
  
• Keep the knob pressed down for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safetydevice.
• After switching the burner on it is recommended that the knob be left in the minimum position forapproximately 20 seconds before adjusting it to the desired temperature.

The flame may go out when the knob is released. In this case repeat the operation, but keeping the knob pressed down for a longer period of time.

NOTE: If the flame goes out accidentally, after about 20 seconds the safety device will intervene and block the gas flow, even when the valve is open.
REMEMBER: When the cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot

Power failure
In case of a prolonged power outage you can manually light the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the minimum flame symbol . After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.

Practical advice on using the burners

NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation around the edges of the pan stand.

To achieve a better performance of the burners and and a lower gas consumption, flat bottomed, levelled cookware with lids should be used, and they should also be proportioned to the burners (see paragraph "Diameter of cookware").
To avoid overcooking or damaging the surface top while cooking, all cookware or griddles must be positioned within the cooktop perimeter and at a minimum distance of 3-4 cm / 1 ½" from the knobs.

Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep the burner ports area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

NOTE: Before turning a control knob, place filled cookware on the pan stand. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without cookware on the pan stand.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Diameter of cookware

Cookware

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or pan stands.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

How to clean Stainless Steel

You must wait until the cooktop has completely cooled before starting any cleaning operations.

Regular cleaning of the cooktop

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

To keep the cooktop in good condition, it should be cleaned after every use.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

Food stains or residues

Never use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers, as they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products for cleaning stainless steel together with non-scratching sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic scrapers.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

Cleaning the components

The Knobs

• Clean the knobs and front panel with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and then dry them thoroughly. The knobs can easily be removed by pulling them outwards.
  

NOTE: Never clean the knobs or front panel with aggressive products containing alcohol or with steel or glass cleaners, since they might cause permanent damage.

Pan stands and burners

• Remove the pan stands and wash them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all deposits. Put them back on the cooktop. These components must never be washed in a dishwasher.
  

The flame diffuser rings

• The flame caps A and the flame diffuser rings B can be removed to make cleaning easier. Wash them in hot water and mild detergent, being careful to remove all incrustations then let them dry completely.
  
• Reassemble the components being careful to center the flame diffuserrings on the thermocouples and the ignition plugs.
• Check that the flame caps have been correctly installed on the flamediffuser rings.

Plugs and thermocouples
