Use

Instructions

Improper use
Danger of burns

• Make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.
• Oils and fats could catch fire if overheated. Be very careful.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during cooking operations where fats or oils could be released.
• Do not spray any spray products near the appliance.
• Do not touch the appliance's heating elements when it is running. Leave them to cool before cleaning.
• Do not allow children younger than 8 years old to come near the appliance when in operation.

Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use aluminium foil to cover the burners or hob body.
• Cooking vessels or griddle plates should be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
• All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms.
• If any liquid does boil over or spill, remove the excess from the hob.
• It is not advisable to use earthenware or steatite pans to cook or heat food.

First use

1. Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from accessories.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance accessories (see Cleaning and maintenance).

Using the appliance

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

Under the grids there are silicone rests with a hole that must be centred onto the matching fixing pins on the surface.

Make sure that the grids are simply centred on their respective burners, without forcing the burners to be raised or tilted. If they are, repeat the positioning procedure.
If you find that a pan is particularly unstable, make sure that the grids have not been positioned incorrectly.

Ring reducers

The ring reducers must be rested on the hob grid. Make sure they are properly positioned.

Correct positioning of the flame-spreader 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.

Practical tips for using the appliance

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:

• Semi-rapid: 10 - 24 cm.
• Rapid: 12 - 24 cm.
• Ultra-rapid: 12 - 26 cm

To prevent burns or damage to the hob or the counter top during cooking, all pans or griddles (not provided) must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.

Cleaning and maintenance

Instructions

Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

• Do not use steam jets to clean 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).
• 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 grids, flame-spreader crowns and burner caps in a dishwasher.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

L (mm)	X (mm)	Y (mm)
300	252 - 256	478 - 482
720	555 - 560	478 - 482

A (mm)	B (mm)	C (mm)	D (mm)	E (mm)
min 150	min 460	min 750	20 - 60	min 50

Mounting

Over built-in oven

The clearance between the hob and the kitchen furniture or other installed appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge. If installed above an oven, a space must be left between the bottom of the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.

If installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan.

Over empty kitchen unit or drawers

If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges under the hob, a double-layer wooden base must be installed at least 10 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must only be possible to remove the double-layer base using suitable equipment.

Failure to install the double-layer wooden base exposes the user to possible accidental contact with sharp or hot parts.

Unit seal

To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the work surface, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer edge of the hob before assembly.

Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob, if necessary, without damaging it.

Fixing brackets

Screw the fixing brackets (A) into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure.
