3- Burner cap (AUX, SR)
4- Flame spreader crowns
Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
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 hob or
the counter top during cooking, all
cookware or griddles must be placed
inside the perimeter of the hob.
Cookware diameters:
• AUX: 7 - 18 cm.
• SR: 10 - 24 cm.
• UR: 12 - 26 cm.
Always check that the control

Limitations on griddle use
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• The griddles should not exceed the
perimeter of the hob.
• 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 (UR).
• If one of the burners close to the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner (UR),
leave a gap of 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 specific products only 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 and sharp
scrapers, as they will damage the surfaces.
Use normal, non-abrasive products and a
wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a
microfibre cloth.
Cooking hob grids
Remove the grids and clean them in
lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent. Make sure to remove any
encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
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 parts
made of steel or that have 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 hob grids,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
The continuous contact between
the grids 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
14
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.
