13
EN
Positioning the trivets
The trivets are provided unassembled on
the cooktop. Follow the instructions as
shown in the figure for correct trivet
positioning.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the cooktop burners, check
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly in place with their respective
burner caps, making sure that the holes (A)
in the burner are aligned with the plugs and
thermocouples (B).
Practical tips for using the cooktop
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that flames
do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once
the contents come to the boil, turn down the
flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over.
To prevent burns or damage to the cooktop
or the counter top during cooking, all pans
or griddles must be placed inside the
perimeter of the cooktop.
Cookware diameters:
• AUX: 12 - 16 cm.
• RR: 18 - 26 cm.
• UR2 int. + ext.: 18 - 26 cm.
Cookware diameters with raised
trivet:
• AUX: 16 - 24 cm.
• R: 26 - 28 cm.
Always check that the control
knobs are in the (off) position
when you finish using the cooktop.

Use
14
Limitations on griddle use
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• Griddles must not protrude beyond the
perimeter of the cooktop
• Aluminium griddles with Teflon anti-stick
coating should be pre-heated for a
maximum of 5 minutes in order to avoid
damage to the appliance and the Teflon
coating. After pre-heating, place the
foodstuffs on the griddle to cook them;
do not exceed 40 minutes of total use for
the griddle
• Do not use griddles or plates to cook or
heat food on the ultra-rapid burner (UR2)
• if one of the burners close to the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner (UR2),
leave a gap of at least 160 mm between
this wall and the edge of the griddle
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle
• Leave a gap of at least 160 mm
between the edge of the griddle and the
side wall
• Do not place the griddle over more than
one burner at the same time
• Never use the griddle for more than 40
minutes.

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers
as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with
the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Cooktop trivets
Remove the trivets and clean them with
lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent. Make sure to remove any
encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the cooktop.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic surface
finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable
components such as the cooktop trivets,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
Continuous contact between the
trivets and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over
time in those parts exposed to
heat. This is a completely natural
phenomenon which has no effect
on the operation of this
component.

Cleaning and maintenance
16
Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader
crowns and the burner caps can be
removed. Wash them in hot water and non-
abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any
encrustation, then wait until they are
perfectly dry. Refit the flame-spreader
crowns making sure that they are correctly
positioned in their housings with their
respective burner caps.
Knobs
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with warm water, then
dried carefully. They can easily be removed
by pulling them upwards.
Igniters and thermocouples
For correct operation the igniters and
thermocouples must always be perfectly
clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a damp cloth if necessary.
Remove any dry residues with a wooden
toothpick or a needle.
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when
cleaning the knobs, as these
products could cause permanent
damage.
After cleaning, dry the appliance
thoroughly to prevent water or
detergent drips from interfering
with its operation or creating
unsightly marks.
