GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the lever of the knob match with
the indicator on the control panel to
obtain:
– symbol •: off
– symbol : full on (nominal rate)
– symbol : reduced rate
- The electric ignition is incorporated in
the knobs (Hsymbol beside flame
- max. heat/max. gas flow fig. 2.1).
- The maximum setting permits rapid
boiling of liquids, whereas the min-
imum setting allows slower warm-
ing of food or maintaining simmering
conditions of liquids.
- Other intermediate operating can be
achieved by positioning the control
knob indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum setting, but not
between the maximum and off posi-
tions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock valve
on the gas bottle or the main gas sup-
ply line.
Fig. 2.1
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
2 USE OF COOKING HOB

14 Fig. 2.2
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 2.2 to the
full flame position marked by the
symbol (fig. 2.1) and hold the knob in
until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2) Wait for about ten seconds after the
gas burner has been lit before letting
go of the knob (valve activation delay);
3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed •position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the
capacity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
It is important that the diameter of the
pot be suitable to the potentiality of the
burner so as not to compromise the
high output of the burners and therefore
energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does
not give you a boiling point in a short-
er amount of time since the capaci-
ty of heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.

SPECIAL GRIDS FOR WOKS (figs. 2.4a - 2.4b)
The special grid for woks rests on the grid of the triple-ring burner.
Warning:
3Using woks without this special grid could seriously damage the burner.
3Do not use this grid with flat bottomed pans (figs. 2.4a - 2.4b).

USE OF VITROCERAMIC HOB
The ceramic surface of the hob allows
a fast transmission of heat in the verti-
cal direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in the hori-
zontal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimeters from the
cooking plate.
The 5 cooking zones are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.
Check that the cooker top is clean.
Fig. 2.6
Fig. 2.5
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the
element in all settings to protect any
overheating of the ceramic glass.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong
pan positioning will cause the tempera-
ture limiter to operate more frequently,
resulting in a reduction of cooking per-
formance.
3 CIRCUITS RADIANT ZONES
Incorporating 3 heating elements
(fig. 2.6) you can control and light up all
together or separately by a 6 position
switch (fig. 2.5).
Reaches the working temperature in a
very short time.

17
DOUBLE AND OVAL RADIANT ZONES
The heating element is formed of a coil
of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is con-
trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from “1” to “12” (maximum tempera-
ture) (fig. 2.7).
By switching on the second element
(fig. 2.8 and 2.9), the surface area of the
rear right and central radiant zones can
be extended.
For this purpose, turn the control knob
(fig. 2.7 ) fully to the right (position ).

Cooking hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max
when you switch the plate on.
After a short time you can set the
control knob to the position required
for cooking.
– You should only use pots and pans
with flat bases (pans with the test
mark for glass-ceramic hobs are
available from specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match
that of the cooking plate (or be slight-
ly bigger) to make the most of the
energy.
– Since the cooking surface will stays
hot for a certain time after the plate
has been switched off, you can
switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will com-
plete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids
whenever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic hob, but in special
pans or containers.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the correspond-
ing plates.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is above 60 °C, the relevant warn-
ing light will also light up to warn of
heat on the surface of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this time you should avoid
touching the hob surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure
that children are not allowed near
the hob.
The light will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach. Fig. 2.11

Safety hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make
sure you know which knob controls
the required cooking plate. We advise
you to set the pan over the cooking
plate before switching it on. Remove
the pan after you have switched the
cooking plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
(scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the pan bottom of the
pan is dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully remove
any food debris (especially contain-
ing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a
cleansing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there
is a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Do not use the hob if the glass
surface is broken or cracked in
any way. Please disconnect the
hob from the mains and contact
the after-sales service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate
when in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic mate-
rials on the ceramic surface when it is
hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions care-
fully.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the cooktop as a work
surface.
CLEANING
Before you begin cleaning make
sure that the appliance is switched
off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make
sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can dam-
age the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be
removed with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have
melted on the ceramic surface, you
should remove it immediately (when the
surface is still hot) by using a scraper
to avoid any permanent damage to the
surface of the hob.
Avoid using a knife or other sharp
utensils since these can damage the
ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using
a special scraper tool take extra care
to avoid damaging to the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.
