3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, relating to the
reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the
product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective
collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the
retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the
appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with
current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power supply, removing it along with the plug.

4. USING THE HOB
Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burners, flame-spreader
crowns and racks are fitted correctly.
In the ultra-rapid burner, notch Amust be aligned with pin B.
4.1 Lighting the burners
The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The
appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and
simultaneously turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol, until it lights.
On valved models, hold down the knob for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit
and to activate the safety device. The burner may go out when the knob is
released. If this happens, repeat the procedure, holding the knob down for
longer.
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device
will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open.

4.2 Practical tips for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas
consumption, pans with flat, even bases and with lids
should be used, and their size should be in proportion to
the burner (see “4.3 Pan diameters”).
During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the
hob top and to the glass lid (when present), all pans or
griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob
perimeter and a minimum distance of 3-4 cm must be
maintained from the knobs.
Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The
glass could crack and break with the heat.
4.3 Pan diameters
(*) Burner min. and max. Ø (in cm)
1 Auxiliary 12- 14
2 Semi-rapid 16-24
3 Rapid (3) 18-26
4 Rapid (4) 22-26
5 Ultra-rapid 22-26
6 Ultra-rapid 22-26
(*) For burner reference numbers, see “9.6 Arrangement of the burners on the cooking
hob”.
4.4 Using the griddle plate
A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate and the
side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is a triple crown burner,
leave a gap of at least 160 mm between this wall and the edge of the griddle
plate;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle
plate;
• operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at maximum
power, then turn them down to the minimum setting. Never use the griddle
plate for more than 45 minutes.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important: DO NOT USE STEAM JETS FOR CLEANING THE HOB.
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts,
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
5.1 Cleaning the hob
To keep the hob in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let it cool first.
5.1.1 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve surfaces, always use only specific products that do not
contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
5.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the
surface.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden
or plastic utensils if necessary.
With normal dirt, calcium and halos stains it is advisable to use Crema
Inox with a microfibre cloth; with resistant charred dirt use Puliforno
with a microfibre cloth.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
For correct operation, the ignition plugs and the safety devices must always be
perfectly clean.
Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary.

Instructions for the user

5.2 Cleaning the components
5.2.1 Knobs
The knobs should be cleaned with lukewarm water and
washing up liquid. For easier cleaning they can be removed by
pulling them upwards. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
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.
5.2.2 Racks
Remove the racks and clean them with lukewarm water and
non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any
encrustations. Replace them on the cooking hob.
These components must not be washed in the dishwasher.
5.2.3 Flame-spreader crowns
The flame-spreader crowns are removable. Wash them with
hot water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove
any encrustations.
To remove burned on food residue, leave to soak in hot water
and washing up liquid, then scrub using a scourer sponge.
For less stubborn residue and for polishing, use stainless
steel cream cleaner Crema Inox with a microfiber cloth.
After cleaning ensure they are perfectly dry and reposition
them correctly.
5.2.4 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.
