Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice. Thank you for purchasing one of our
appliances. This practical, modern and functional appliance is
manufactured using materials of the highest quality which are subject to
strict Quality Control checks throughout the entire manufacturing process.
The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands
and produces perfect cooking results.
Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is
installed in the unit.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to install and
use the appliance. The information contained in these instructions is
essential for the correct operation of the appliance and, more importantly,
for your safety.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the
materials which are strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection
during transport. These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the
environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring for the
environment, by following the advice below:
- dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin,
- before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact
your local authority to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre
to dispose of your appliance.
- do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed container and
take it to an appropriate collection point or, failing that, place it in the
rubbish bin (it will end up in a controlled dump; this is probably not the best
option, but it will avoid contaminating ground water).
IMPORTANT:
In the unlikely event that the appliance should arrive damaged or not meet
your expectations in terms of quality, please inform us as soon as possible.

The gas burner
Operation
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and the
pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to
work correctly.
Switching on
manually
1. Press the burner control and turn it anticlockwise to
the ignition position .
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,
matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.
Switching on
automatically
1. Press the burner control and turn it anticlockwise to
the ignition position .
While the control is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on the burner. The flame ignites (it is no
longer necessary to press down the control).
2. Turn the control to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control to the off setting
and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold
the control for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds have elapsed, the flame
does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby
window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying
to switch the burner back on.
Safety system
Your hob has a safety system (thermocouple) that
prevents the flow of gas if the burner accidentally
switches off. To ensure that this device is active, switch
on the burner as usual and, without releasing the
control, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after
lighting the flame.

9
Switching off the
burner
Turn the control clockwise to the 0 setting.
Power levels
The progressive controls can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
For dual double flame burners, the inner and outer
flames can be controlled separately.
The available power levels are as follows:
Inner and outer flame on full power.
Outer flame on minimum, inner flame on full power.
Inner flame on full power.
Inner flame on minimum.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give
off fumes; this does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
A few seconds after switching off the burner, it will
make a sound (thud); this is not a fault – This means
that the safety device is no longer operating.

10
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty, they will not light properly. Clean
them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in
mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, split liquids,
etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the
kitchen is well-ventilated. Either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor hood.
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods
additional ventilation may be required, for example, by
opening a window; more effective ventilation may also
be required, for example, by increasing the hob’s
ventilation, if possible.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control and do not try to relight
it for at least one minute.
Suitable pans
Minimum pan diameter
22 cm
Wok pan
Especially suited to cooking with paella pans, Chinese
woks, pans with a concave base, etc. A wok is cooking
vessel originating in China; it is a kind of deep, round,
lightweight pan with handles and a flat or concave base.
Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can
be stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried, or
steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a
saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape
and size, they can be used to cook quite large
ingredients.
When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more
uniformly and gently; the intense heat which
accumulates means that food takes less time to cook
and also requires less oil, making it one of the quickest
and healthiest ways of cooking. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when cooking with a wok.

11
Accessories
The hob includes the following accessories. These are
also available from the Technical Assistance Service.
Additional wok pan
support
Only for use with pans which are more than 26 cm in
diameter (roasting dishes, earthenware pots, etc.) and
with pans with a concave base.
Additional coffee
maker support
Only for use with pans which are no more than 10 cm in
diameter.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if these additional
pan supports are not used or used incorrectly.
Cooking recommendations
Very high High Medium Low
Boiling, steaming, griddling,
toasting, paellas, Asian food
(wok).
Reheating and keeping things
hot: cooked and pre-cooked
dishes.

12
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent cookware damage:
Use pans which are the right size for each burner.
Do not use small receptacles on large burners. The
flame should not touch the sides of receptacles.
Do not use damaged cookware, which does not sit
evenly on the hob. Pans may be overturned.
Only use a pan with thick, flat base.
Do not cook without lids or with lids only partially
covering receptacles. You are wasting energy.
Always place the cookware right over the burner, not to
one side. Otherwise it could be overturned.
Place the pans on the pan support, never directly on the
burner.
Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight
on it.
Make sure that the pan support and burner covers are
correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it
with soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective
burner parts once they have cooled down. If any bits
are left (overcooked food, drops of grease etc.),
however few, they will become stuck to the surface and
more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves
must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. These
should be cleaned using soapy water and scrubbed
using a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure
that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose
and the pan support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burner and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start
of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burner, make sure the
burner covers are correctly placed on the burner flame
diffuser.
Unsuitable products
Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may
scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.
Don’t use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened
food from the hob.
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel,
never use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point
where it joins the metal.
Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to
clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims,
the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

14
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will
save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar
which may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate
immediately, using the glass scraper.

15
