Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice and thank you for purchasing one of our appliances. This
practical, modern and functional appliance is manufactured using materials of the highest
quality which are subject to strict quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing
process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands and
produces perfect cooking results.
Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to install and use the appliance.
The information contained in these instructions is essential for the correct operation of the
appliance and, more importantly, for your safety.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the materials which are
strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection during transport.
These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can also
contribute to caring for the environment, by following the advice below:
- dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin
- before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact your local authority
to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance
- do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed container and take it to an
appropriate collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating ground
water).
IMPORTANT:
In the unlikely event that the appliance should be damaged or not meet your expectations
in terms of quality, please inform us as soon as possible. For the warranty to be valid, the
appliance must not have been tampered with, or used inappropriately.

All operations relating to installation, regulation and
conversion to other types of gas must be carried out by
an authorised installation engineer, respecting applicable
regulations, standards and the specifications of the local
gas and electricity providers.
You are recommended to contact the Technical
Assistance Service to convert to another type of gas.
Before installing your new hob, ensure that it is being
installed according to the assembly instructions.
This appliance can only be installed in a well-ventilated
place in accordance with existing regulations and
ventilation specifications. The appliance must not be
connected to a combustion product removal device.
This appliance has been designed for home use only, not
for commercial or professional use. This appliance
cannot be installed on yachts or in caravans. The
warranty will only be valid if the appliance is used for the
purpose for which it was designed.
The place in which the appliance is installed must have
fully-functioning ventilation, in accordance with the

Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might
blow out the burners.
This appliance leaves the factory set to the type of gas
that is indicated on the specifications plate. If this must
be changed, read the Assembly instructions.
Do not tamper with the appliance's interior. If necessary,
call our Technical Assistance Service.

Fat or oil which is overheated can catch fire easily. Do not
leave oil or fats to heat up unattended. If oil or fats do
catch fire, never use water to put the fire out. Risk of
burns! Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and
switch off the hotplate.
In the event of a malfunction, turn off the appliance’s gas
and electricity supply. For repairs, call our Technical
Assistance Service.
If one of the control knobs will not turn, do not force it.
Call the Technical Assistance Service immediately, so
that they can repair or replace it.
Never place unstable pans on the hob or the burners, as
they may accidentally tip over.
Do not clean the hob using a steam cleaner. Risk of
electrocution!

The gas burners
Operation
There are indications to show which burner each control
knob operates. Fig. 1.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts
and pan supports are correctly installed for the
appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3-4.
Switching on manually 1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,
matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.
Switching on
automatically
If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).

2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the
burner on.
Safety system Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if
the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this
device is active, switch on the burner as usual and,
without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
Power levels The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system
(extractor hood).
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,
you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a
window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing
the hob's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off
the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight
it for at least one minute.
Suitable pans
Wok pan A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind
of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or
concave base.
Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be
stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or
steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a
saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and
size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients.
When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly
and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means
that food takes less time to cook and also requires less
oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of
cooking.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when
cooking with a wok pan.

Technical Assistance Service.

Only for use on the double flame burner with pans which
are more than 26 cm in diameter (roasting dishes,

The manufacturer accepts no liability if these additional
