4FINAL OPERATIONS
After carrying out the above adjustments, remount in reverse order to the
instructions given in paragraph “3.1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob”.
After adjustment to a different kind of gas from the one for which the
appliance has been tested, replace the plate inside the storage
compartment with one corresponding to the new kind of gas. The label is
available from your nearest Authorised Assistance Centre.
4.1 Regulation of minimum for town gas and natural gas
Light the burner and set it at minimum position.
Remove the knob and turn the regulation screw
inside or next to the gas tap pin (depending on the
model) until you get a suitable minimum flame.
Replace the knob and check burner flame stability:
(when you turn the knob quickly from maximum to
minimum position, the flame should not go out).
Repeat this operation for all the gas taps.
4.2 Regulation of minimum for LPG
To regulate the minimum for LPG, fully tighten the screw inside or next to
the gas tap pin (depending on the model) in a clockwise direction.
The diameters of the by-passes for each burner are given in table “3.2
Burner and nozzle characteristics table”.
4.3 Lubrication of gas taps
With time it may happen that the gas taps get blocked and hard to turn.
Clean them inside and re-grease them. This operation must be done
by an authorised person.

5USING THE HOB
5.1 Ignition of the burners
Before turning on the burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns
and respective caps are properly fitted in their housings. Ensure the
flame-spreader holes A are aligned with the ignition plugs and the
thermocouples.
Panstand grid B, available upon request, is intended for use with woks
(Chinese pans).
To prevent damage to the worktop, the hob is equipped with a raised grid
C: installs over pans larger than the diameter shown in the table in
paragraph " 5.3 Diameter of receptacles". Note that pans larger than 28
cm diameter must be used only on the central burner.
A symbol next to each knob indicates the relative
burner. The device is fitted with electronic ignition.
Simply press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to
the high flame symbol until the burner is ignited.
In models with safety valve, after ignition, the knob has to be held down
for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner
might go off when the knob is released: this means the thermocouple
has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and then repeat the operation, holding the knob
down for longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without
thermocouples.
Once the burner is ignited, adjust the flame as required.
Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when you
finish using the hob.
31

Instructions for the user
32
If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20
seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).
5.2 Practical advice for using the burners
For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered
cooking receptacles that have a flat, smooth bottom and are proportional
in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see
paragraph “5.3 Diameter of receptacles”). When water reaches boiling
point, lower the flame so that it does not boil over.
To avoid burns or damage to the worktop, all receptacles or griddle
plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob.
When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they do not overheat
and catch fire.

specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
6.1.2 Food stains or residues
Under no circumstances must metallic scourers or sharp
scrapers be used: they will damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or
plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
6.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components
To facilitate cleaning, panstand grids, caps, flame-
spreader crowns and burners are all removable;
wash with warm water and non-abrasive detergent,
taking care to remove allstubborn food residues. Wait
for all parts to be fully dry before remounting. Refit
the caps on the respective flame-spreader crowns,
making sure that notchesAalign with burner pins B .
To work well, the ignition plugs and thermocouples must
always be very clean. Check them frequently and clean
them with a wet cloth if necessary. Any dry residue should
be removed with a toothpick or a needle.
In models equipped with pan stands, fit as shown in the figure, taking
care to position them exactly as shown. Refer to the enlarged details in
the figure below for guidance.
