GAS BURNERS
The gas flow to the burners is achieved
by turning the knob (illustrated in figs.
2.1a - 2.1b) which controls the safety
tap.
By turning the knob so that the indicator
line points at the symbols printed on the
panel we obtain the following settings:
✓full circle ●= closed valve
✓symbol = maximum
aperture or flow
✓symbol = minimum
aperture or flow
✓To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the
small flame symbol.
✓The maximum aperture position per-
mits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintain-
ing boiling conditions of liquids.
✓Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum
and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aper-
ture and closed positions.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
Mod ls without saf ty valv d vic
To light one of the gas burners, push in
and turn the relative knob to the maxi-
mum aperture position (large flame
symbol fig. 2.1a) and hold the knob
in until the flame has been lit.
Turn the gas tap to the position
required.
ote: Whenever special conditions of
the gas supplied locally make it difficult
to light the burner with the knob in the
maximum flow position, repeat the
operation with the knob in the minimum
flow position.
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
Mod ls with saf ty valv d vic
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob fig. 2.2 in anti-clock-
wise direction up to the maximum
aperture (symbol fig. 2.1b), push
in and hold the knob; this will light
the gas. In case of black-out, bring
a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the
gas lighting before releasing the
knob (starting time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
power.
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.
The ignition device shall not be
operated for more than 15 seconds.
If after 15 seconds the burner has
not lit, stop operating the device
and open the compartment door of
the cabinet underneath (if available)
and/or wait at least 1 minute before
attempting a further ignition of the
burner.
In case of black-out, bring a lighted
match close to the burner.

10
CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.3)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume
capacity of the container to be heated.
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise their efficiency and avoid a
waste of energy.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a
large burner does not necessarily mean
that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.
Caution!
the coo ing hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

RAPID HOTPLATE (r d dot)
The characteristics of this hotplate,
which is also equipped with a thermo-
static cut-off device, make it possible to:
– achieve the cooking temperature
rapidly
– make full use of its output power
using flat-bottomed pans
– limit the output power with unsuitable
saucepans.
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate
the knob (fig. 3.1) on the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the
operating positions with increasing
value, corresponding to higher tempera-
tures.
When the pot contents come to the boil,
turn the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will contin-
ue to produce heat for about five min-
utes after it has been turned off.
PROPER USE OF THE ELEC-
TRIC HOTPLATE (fig. 3.2)
While using the electric hotplate, you
must:
✓avoid using it without any vessel;
✓avoid pouring liquids on it while it is
hot;
✓use flat-bottomed (electric hotplate
type) pots and pans only;
✓use cookware which covers as much
as possible surface of the hotplate;
✓save electricity, by using lids whenev-
er possible;
✓never cook food directly on the hot-
plate: always use a pan or a suitable
container.
An indicator light located on the control
panel signals that the hotplate is operat-
ing.

GENERAL ADVICE
✓Before you begin cleaning you
must ensure that the hob is
switched off.
✓It is advisable to clean when the
appliance is cold and especially when
cleaning the enamelled parts.
✓All enamelled surfaces have to be
washed with soapy water or some
other non-abrasive product with a
sponge and are to be dried preferably
with a soft cloth.
✓Avoid leaving alkaline or acid sub-
stances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on
the surfaces.
✓Do not use cleaning products with a
chlorine or acidic base.
WAR I G
When correctly installed, your prod-
uct meets all safety requirements laid
down for this type of product catego-
ry. However special care should be
taken around the underneath of the

or intended to be touched and may
contain sharp or rough edges, that
may cause injury.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓All the enamelled parts must be
cleaned with a sponge and soapy
water only or other non-abrasive
products.
✓Dry preferably with a microfibre or
soft cloth.
If acid substances such as lemon
juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc.
are left on the enamel for a long time
they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
✓Stainless steel parts must be rinsed
with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth.
✓For persistent dirt, use specific non-
abrasive products available commer-
cially or a little hot vinegar.
✓ote: regular use could cause dis-
colouring around the burners,
because of the high flame tempera-
ture.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
✓Always clean when the hotplate is
tepid.
✓Use a soft cloth, dampened with
water, and a little salt. To finish off,
use a soft cloth with a little oil.
CONTROL KNOB
✓The control knobs may be removed
for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.
Attention
The appliance gets very hot,
mainly around the cooking areas.
It is very important that children
are not left alone in the kitchen
when you are cooking.
Do not use a steam cleaner
because the moisture can get
into the appliance thus make it
unsafe.

15
GAS TAPS
✓In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department
BURNERS AND GRIDS
✓These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
✓After cleaning, the burners and their flame spreaders must be well dried and correctly
replaced.
✓It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader and the cap have been

CHOOSING SUITABLE
SURROUNDINGS
(for gas mod ls)
The room where the gas appliance is to
be installed must have a natural flow of
air so that the gas can burn (in compli-
ance with the current laws in force).
The flow of air must come directly from
one or more openings made in the
outside walls with a free area of at least
100 cm2.
If the appliance does not have a no-
flame safety device this opening must
have an area of at least 200 cm2.
The openings should be near the floor
and preferably on the side opposite the
exhaust for combustion products and
must be so made that they cannot be
blocked from either outside or inside.
When these openings cannot be made,
the necessary air can come from an
adjacent room which is ventilated as
required, as long as it is not a bedroom
or a danger area (in compliance with the
current laws in force).
In this case, the kitchen door must allow
the passage of the air.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS
OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to
the outside must be provided, to allow
the products of combustion of the gas
appliance to be discharged (fig. 5.6).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may
be used, attached to the external wall or
the window; the fan should have a
capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate
of 3-5 times the total volume of the
kitchen (fig. 5.7).
The fan can only be installed if the room
has suitable vents to allow air to enter,
as described under the heading
“Choosing suitable surroundings” (in
compliance with the current laws in
force).

Installation technicians must comply
to current laws in force concerning
ventilation and the evacuation of
exhaust gases.
Intensive and prolonged use may
require extra ventilation, e.g. opening
a window, or more efficient ventila-
tion increasing the mechanical suc-
tion power if this is fitted.
