22USE OF COOKING HOB
Fig. 2.1
GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply (Fig. 2.1).
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 (★symbol beside flame
- max. heat/max. gas flow fig. 2.1).
- The maximum setting permits rapid
boiling of liquids, whereas the mini-
mum setting allows slower warming of
food or maintaining simmering condi-
tions of liquids.
- Other intermediate operating can be
achieved by positioning the control
knob indicator between the maximum
and minimum setting, but not between
the maximum and off positions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being used,
set the gas knobs to their closed posi-
tions and also close the cock valve on
the gas bottle or the main gas supply
line.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

Fig. 2.3
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 shorten
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.

WRONG CORRECT
SPECIAL GRID FOR WOKS (fig. 2.4a - 2.4b)
The special grid for woks rests on the grid of the triple ring burner.
Warning:
– Using woks without this special grid could seriously damage the burner.
– Do not use this grid with flat bottomed pans (fig. 2.4a - 2.4b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 2.4b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the triple-ring burner.

USE OF VITROCERAMIC HOB
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.
“HI-LIGHT” 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 (minimum position) to 12 (maxi-
mum temperature).
“HI-LIGHT” RADIANT ZONE
CONTROL KNOBS
Operation of the cooking zone is con-
trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from 1 (minimum position) to 12 (maxi-
mum temperature) fig. 2.5.
The heat intensity can be regulated con-
tinuously from “0” (off) to “12” (max).
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a
fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizon-
tal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimetres from the
cooking plate.
The 2 cooking zones are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.
Check that the cooker top is clean.

16
After a short period of use, experience will teach you which setting is the right one for
your needs.

Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the cooktop as a work
surface.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The appliance also features 2 warning
lights (located in the control panel above
the Hi-light zone control knobs) which
are connected to the corresponding
plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate
is above 60°C, the relevant warning
lights will also light up to warn of heat on
the surface of the hob.
This light also stays 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.
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 slightly
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
complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids
whenever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop.

18
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 melt-
ed 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 uten-
sils 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 the seal at the
edges of the glass ceramic surface.
Fig. 2.9
HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOBS
– Before switching on, check which
knob controls the required hob. You
are advised to place the saucepan on
the hob before switching on and to
take it off after switching off.
– Use saucepans with an even flat bot-
tom (be careful of cast iron
saucepans). Uneven bottoms can
scratch the pyroceram surface. Check
that the bottom is clean and dry.
– Check that the saucepan handle does
not protrude from the top to avoid
knocking it over. This precaution also
makes it more difficult for children to
reach the saucepan.
– Do not use the top if the surface is
broken or damaged.
– Do not bend over the hobs when they
are on.
– Do not leave aluminium foil, grease-
proof paper etc. or plastic on the hob
when it is hot.
– Remember that the hobs stay hot for
quite a long time (approx. 30 min.)
after they have been switched off.
– Scrupulously follow the cleaning
instructions.
– Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on
the glass ceramic cooktop.
– If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediate-
ly and call the After-Sales Service.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.

CERAMIC GRIDDLE
Caution!
The griddle becomes very hot dur-
ing use and remains very hot even
after it is switched off.
Keep children well out of reach.
USING THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE FOR
THE FIRST TIME
– Remove the adhesive film which pro-
tects some parts.
– Remove any residual glue carefully,
without using abrasive substances, to
avoid scratching the surfaces.
– Clean the cooking surface carefully.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
power setting knob to the maximum
position (11-12) for about 15 minutes
to remove residual working greases.
The griddle reaches the working temper-
ature very quickly and can grill any food,
without fat and oil, directly on the radiant
zone's glass-ceramic surface.
Operation of the radiant zone is con-
trolled by a continuous
12-position power regulator.
The signal lamp lights up when the grid-
dle is ON.
USE OF THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE
– Before cooking make sure that the
radiant zone is clean.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
knob to position 12.
– Preheat until the cooking surface
becomes red.
– Then turn the knob to the position
required. The numbers from 1 to 12
indicate the working positions with
temperature increasing as the number
increases.
– Place the food on the radiant zone
and check the cooking by eye.
– Turn off the griddle by turning the
knob to position “0”.
– As the radiant zone remains hot for
some time after the hob is switched
off, turn the zone off a few minutes
before the end of cooking.
The residual heat will complete the
cooking.
–Do not use the griddle for more
than 30 minutes.

20
TIPS FOR GRILLING:
– Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to
obtain quick and uniform cooking.
– Do not pour water on the cooking sur-
face when it is switched on or still hot.
– If cooking very fatty foods, leave the
griddle switched on for a few minutes
after cooking is finished, to burn off
the fatty residues.
ADVICE FOR THE SAFE USE OF
CERAMIC GRIDDLE
– Do not lean on the cooking zones
when they are switched on.
– Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zones when
they are hot.
– Do not leave objects of any type on
the surfaces made of ceramic, glass
or similar fragile material.
– Remember that the cooking zones
remain hot for some time after they
are switched off (about 30 min.).
– Follow the cleaning instructions care-
fully.
– If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediately
and call the After-Sales Service.
Do not scratch the cooktop with
cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the cooktop as a work
surface.
CAUTION: Never use abrasive sub-
stances or no-neutral detergent
which could irreversibly damages.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE
Make sure that the cooktop is switched
off before cleaning it.
– Remove any encrustation.
– Remove dust with a damp cloth.
– Detergents can be used, but they
must not be abrasive or corrosive.
– Any remaining detergent must be
completely removed with a damp
cloth.
– Do not put any objects on the cooktop
which can melt with heat, such as
plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar
or sugar products.
– If any object melts on the cooktop,
remove it immediately (while the cook-
top is still hot) using a special scraper,
to prevent any irreversible damage to
the glass ceramic surface.
– Do not use knives or sharp objects
which could damage the cooktop sur-
face.
– Do not use abrasive sponges or pads
which could irreversibly damage the
glass ceramic surface.
