3.3 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob
is shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol,
until the burner ignites. If the burner does not
light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob
to and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed
in for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up.
The burner may go out when the knob is
released: In this case, the thermocouple has
not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few
moments and repeat the operation. Keep
the knob pressed in longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their seats with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes in the burners are aligned with the
igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that
the flame-spreader crowns are correctly
engaged in the burner holes.
Using a griddle
A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:
• The griddle can be pre-heated with the
burner on maximum power for no more
than 10 minutes.
• It is recommended you reduce the
power during cooking;
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle;
• Leave a gap of at least 150 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.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.

Use
35
EN
Correct positioning of the grids
Under the grids there are silicone rests with
a hole that must be centred onto the
matching fixing pins on the surface.
Make sure that the grids are simply centred
on their respective burners, without forcing
the burners to be raised or tilted. If they are,
repeat the positioning procedure.
If you find that a pan is particularly unstable,
make sure that the grids have not been
positioned incorrectly.
Ring reducers
The ring reducers must be rested on the hob
grid. Make sure they are properly
positioned.
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 pans or
griddles (not supplied) must be placed
inside the perimeter of the hob.

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 and sharp
scrapers as they will damage the surface.
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.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such
as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for
too long, they might damage the enamel
lining of the oven.
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 abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

EN
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.
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.
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.
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.
