Dear Customer,
We thank and congratulate you on your choice.
This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with
top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to
thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and
meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every
need, achieving perfect cooking.
Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This
manual contains important information, not only for use of the
appliance, but safety and maintenance as well.
During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging
materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare
essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us,
you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend
you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you.
Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a
negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container
and dispose of it at a collection point. Ifthis is not possible, dispose
of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled
landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water
pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will
appreciate it.
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it
inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility.
Your local government can provide you with the necessary information
on the nearest collection facility.

,lmportant information
installation and usage for
1- Forsafety reasons,do notallowthe flames
to extend beyond the edge of the cooking
appliance.
2 - Remember that the appliance heats up
when in use. Remember to use common
sense.The absence of a flame does not
mean that the appliance parts are no longer
hot.
3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should
not be used for room heating purposes.
4 - Make sure the power supply is
disconnected before dismantling the
appliance.
5 - Do not store combustible materials,
such as gasoline, other vapors and
inflammable liquids near the appliance.
6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation
air flow
•If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open
windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates
before using the appliance.
•If you smell gas, your installer has not done
a proper job of checking for leaks. Ifthe
connections are not perfectly light, you can
have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell.
Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician.
See Warning, page. 3.
7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm
(30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets
installed in the upper part.
8 - The gas pressure regulator supplied with
the appliance must be installed in the gas
piping line.
9 - The appliance and its individual shutoff val-
ve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing
of the system at test pressures in excess of
3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).
10 -ImportantWhen using an especially
large pan, leave a minimum space of 50 mm
(2") to prevent damage to countertops of
wooden, plastic or other non-heat resistant
materials. Never leave hot oil or grease
unattended.
11 - Make the caution about leaving oil or
grease unattended.
•Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when ftambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe').
•Use high heat settings on the cooktop only
when necessary. To avoid bubbling and
splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than
a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of
causing extreme burns and injury.
•Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

There are indications to show which burner each control knob
operates. Figure. 1.
To light a burner, press the chosen control knob and turn it
toward the left, holding it in the maximum setting for a few
seconds until the burner is tit,then release it, and adjust to the
desired setting. If it does not light, repeat the procedure.
CAUTION - All igniters spark when any single burner is
turned ON. Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use.
Ifthe ignitor are dirty, this makes the burner harder
to light. Therefore, keep them as clean as possible. This
cleaning should be performed with a small brush, considering
that the ignitor can not withstand any sharp blows.
If your cooktop is not fitted with this automatic lighting
feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner.
Your cooktop may be equipped with safety thermocouples
to prevent gas flow if the burners are accidentally extinguished.
Figure 2.
To turn on and activate this innovative system, proceed in
the same way, but keeping the control knob pressed down
until ignition takes place, the flame appears and does not
extinguish.
If ignition does not take place, repeat the procedure, keeping
the control knob pressed down 1-5 seconds.
To turn it off, turn the control knob to the right to the correct
position •. When carrying out this procedure, the ignition
system may activate again. This is completely normal.
Your modern, functional cooktop has progressive gas valves
that make it possible to adjust to the necessary setting
between the maximum and minimum flames.
Triple flame burners are very practical and convenient for
cooking with "paetta" pans, Chinese Woks (all sorts of Asian
dishes), etc.
The use of the appliance produces heat and humidity in the
site where it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen has good
ventilation. Keep ventilation channels open or install a
mechanical ventilation system (extraction hood).
Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units
may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window
(without causing air currents) or increasing the power of
mechanical ventilation if it exists.
Depending on which model you have purchased, your
cooking hob may include a very useful extra cradle
support for use on the triple-flame burner for
receptacles with diameters of over 26 cm, barbecue
griddles, earthenware cooking pots and all kinds of
concave receptacles (such as Chinese woks). Figure 3.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility if these
additionai pan supports are not used or are used

Cooking warnings
NO
Do not use small pots on
large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of
the pot.
Do not cook without a lid, or
if the lid moves, as this causes
a partial energy loss.
YES
Always use appropriate
pots for each burner.
This will prevent excessive
consumption of gas and
staining of the pots.
Always use the lid.
Do not use pots with
irregular bottoms as they
lengthen cooking time and
increase energy consumption.
Do not place the pot
off-center over the burner, as
tipping could result.
Do not use large-diameter
pots on the burners near
the control knobs, which, once
centered over the burner,
could touch the knobs or be
close enough to them that the
temperature of that area in-
creases, possibly causing
damage.
Never place pots
directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weights
or strike the cooktop with
heavy objects.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat a single
pot.
Avoid using roasting grilles,
earthen pots, etc. for
extended periods at
maximum power.
Use only pots, pans and
casseroles with flat, thick
bottoms.
Center the pot over
the burner.
Place the pot over
the grate.
Make sure that the grates
and burner covers
are in the correct
positions before using the
appliance.
Handle pots carefully when
they are on the cooktop.
13

Steel usage rules:
cleaning and care
NO
DO NOT use abrasive
products, sharp objects,
steel wool, knives, etc. to
remove hardened
remains of food on the
cooktop, pan
supports, burners or
electrical cooktops.
If your cooktop has a
glass panel, DO NOT
use a knife, scraper or any
similar device to clean
the joint where it meets
the metal.
DO NOT use steam
cleaning machines on the
cooktop, as they
could damage it.
YES
Once the appliance has
cooled, clean it with a
sponge, soap and
water.
Remove all spilt liquids
immediately. This will
save unnecessary efforts.
To keep the burners and
pan supports clean, they
must be regularly
cleaned, submerging
them in soapy water and
scrubbing them with a
non-metallic brush so that
the holes and slots are
perfectly clear to provide
proper flame. Always dry
the burner covers and the
grates if they have
become wet.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, ensure that
the lids are properly
placed atop the burner
flame diffuser.
Ifthe appliance has
Monobtock burners, en-
sure that they are perfect-
ly dry before their next
use.
Due to the high temperatures that the ring lid of your triple flame burner, and stainless steel
areas such as the grease splash tray and the outer perimeter of the burners, etc. must withstand,
they wilt become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after every use using
products appropriate for stainless steel.
After washing the grates, dry them completely before cooking with them again. The
presence of water droplets or wet areas at the beginning of cooking can cause possible points
of enamel deterioration.
Ifthe grates of your cooktop have rubber pads, use precaution when cleaning them,
as they could come off, leaving the grate unprotected and leading to scratching of the
cooktop.
Stainless steel cleaning products should not be used in the area surrounding the control knobs.
The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Installing the cooktop
on the kitchen unit:
Fitting measurements
1 - Minimum distances (mm). Cut a gap of the
required size in the work surface. Fig. 1 a-b
Follow the installation instructions for hoods.
2 - The wood fibres that have been used to make
the cabinets tend to swell quickly when they
come into contact with moisture.
Therefore, we recommend to coat the cut
surfaces, to protect them from steam or
condensed water that could be deposited
under the kitchen unit work surface.
