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. If this 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.

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.
Triple flame burners and large triple flame burners are very
practical and convenient for cooking with "paella" 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.
