2 - HOW TO USE THE COOKER HOB

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by

turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1)

which control the valves.

Turn the knob so that the indicator line

points to the relevant symbol for the fol-

lowing functions:

– symbol ●= OFF

– symbol = maximum

position

– symbol = minimum

position

✓To reduce the gas flow to minimum,

rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point

the indicator towards the small flame

symbol.

✓The maximum position permits rapid

boiling of liquids, whereas the mini-

mum position allows slower warming

of food or maintaining boiling condi-

tions of liquids.

✓Other intermediate operating can be

achieved by positioning the indicator

between the maximum and minimum

positions, but not between the maxi-

mum and OFF positions.

Fig. 2.1

Fig. 2.2

N.B. When the cooker top is not

being used, set the gas knobs to

their OFF positions.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER (fig. 2.3)

The symbols printed on the panel next to

the gas knobs indicates which knob cor-

responds with which burner.

Select the burner that is most suitable for

the diameter and the capacity of the pan

to be used.

It is important that the base diameter of

the pots or pans match the diameter of

the burner rings in order to obtain an effi-

cient heat transfer. Always position pans

centrally over the burners.

Adjust the size of the flame so that it

does not lick up the side of the pan.

Position the pan handles so that they

cannot be accidentally knocked.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

The electric ignition is incorporated in

the knobs (★symbol beside flame -

max. heat/max. gas flow fig. 2.1).

To light one of the gas burners, push in

and turn the relevant knob to the maxi-

mum position (large flame symbol) and

hold the knob in until the flame has been

lit.

Adjust the gas valve to the desired posi-

tion.

N.B. In the case of a mains failure light

the burner with a match or lighted taper.

N.B. If your local gas supply makes it

difficult to light the burner with the knob

set to maximum, set the knob to mini-

mum and repeat the operation.

WOK STAND

(figs. 2.4a, 2.4b)

The wok stand should be placed over the pan-rest for the triple ring burner.

Warning:

✓Using a wok without the stand may cause the burner to operate incorrectly.

✓Do not use the stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.

IMPORTANT:

3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL ADVICE

✓Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.

✓Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

✓Avoid leaving acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.

ENAMELLED PARTS

✓Clean the enamelled parts with a sponge and soapy water only or another non-abra-

sive products.

✓Dry preferably with a chamois leather or soft cloth.

If acidic substances such as lemon juice, tomato sauce, vinegar etc. are left in contact

with the enamel for a long time they will damage the surface.

STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS

✓Stainless steel parts should be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth

or with a chamois leather.

✓For persistent dirt, use specific non-abrasive products available commercially or a little

hot vinegar.

✓Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the

high flame temperature.

✓WARNING

When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this

type of product category. However special care should be taken around the under-

neath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may

contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

CONTROL KNOB

✓The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to

damage the seal.

GAS TAPS

✓Periodic lubrication of the gas taps must be carried out by specialist personnel only.

✓In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department.

BURNERS

✓These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.

✓After cleaning, check that the burners and their flame spreaders are dry before replac-

ing correctly.

✓It is very important to check that the burner flame spreader and the cap have been cor-

rectly positioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems.

✓In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the sparks always

strike.

✓Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are

not in place.

Do not use steam cleaners because the moisture could get inside the appliance

making it dangerous.

CHOOSING SUITABLE

SURROUNDINGS

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 out-

side 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 the outside or the

outside.

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 COM-

BUSTION

Extractor hoods connected directly to

the outside must be provided, to allow

the products of combustion of the gas

appliance to be discharged (fig. 4.6).

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. 4.7).

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”.

This appliance is not connected to a

device to evacuate the combustion

products. This must be installed and

connected in conformity with the

installation rules in force. Pay special

care to room ventilation as well.

GAS CONNECTION

Connection to the gas main must be per-

formed by a qualified technician, in com-

pliance with the current laws in force.

The cooktop is set up and calibrated to

work with the gas indicated on the rating

plate affixed to the appliance and on this

instruction booklet.

The gas supply system must conform

to the local regulations in force.

Connecting to gas mains:

✓Cat: II 2H3+

GASES

The gases used for the operation of

cooking appliances may be grouped by

their characteristics into two types:

✓Butane/Propane gas

(in cylinders) G30/G31

✓Natural gas G20

The cooktop connection (fig. 5.1) is

made up as follows:

✓nut “A”

✓gasket “F”

✓1 conical elbow “C”

Connection to the gas main must be

performed by a qualified technician, in

compliance with the current laws in

force.

The gas inlet union can be turned in the

direction required after the union elbow

C - nut A connection has been

slackened (Fig. 5.2).

Fig. 5.2

IMPORTANT:

✓Never turn union C using force without first slackening nut A.

✓Gasket F (Fig. 5.1) guarantees the seal of the gas connection.

Replace it whenever it is even slightly deformed or imperfect.

✓If using flexible metal pipes, make sure they are not squashed, and do not come into

contact with moving parts.

✓Any connection to fixed metal pipes must be done in such a way so as not to place

undue stress on the hob chassis.

✓Any flexible pipes must be so installed as to be easily inspected along their whole

length. They must be changed before the expiry date (printed on the pipe itself) and

not exceed 2 metres in length.

✓After connecting to the gas mains, check that the couplings are correctly sealed, using

soapy solution, but never a naked flame.
