When one of the cooking zones is hot, the warning light E (see

ﬁg. 1) comes on; it will not go off until the temperature of all the

hotplates has dropped below about 60 degrees C).

The four cooking zones are indicated by the outlines screen-printed

on the hob. For good efﬁciency and appropriate energy consump-

tion, only use saucepans and utensils with thick, perfectly ﬂat

bottoms (see ﬁg.12). The diameter of the base of the pan must be

at least as large as the outline marked on the hob. If the bottom of

the pan does not cover the heating area, energy will be wasted.

Preferably, it should be slightly larger in diameter.

Pan bottoms and the cooking surface must be clean and dry.

Otherwise heat, and thus energy, will be wasted.

Note:

- Never cook directly on the hotplates.

- To save time, cooking with the hotplates may be started at full

heat (knob on 6), turning down to the ideal temperature once the

contents of the pan have heated up.

- All the hotplates are equipped with a temperature limiter which

prevents them from overheating, even if a hotplate is operated at

the highest setting with no pan, or if pans with uneven bottoms

are used.

The table below will serve as a guide, bearing in mind that cook-

ing times and temperatures may vary depending on the type and

amount of foods cooked and personal taste.

CAUTION

- Do not look directly at the halogen hotplates while they are on,

as the light emitted from the hotplates may be harmful to your

eyes.

- The ceramic glass surface is very tough but it is not shatterproof

and it may not be used to place objects upon it.

- It may be damaged if struck violently by sharp or very hard

objects.

- If breakages, crazing or cracks appear on its surface, stop using

it and contact the after-sales service immediately.

- Do not place aluminium foil or plastic ﬁlm wrappings on the hob

while it is still hot.

- Soon after installation, the hob may give off a burnt smell; this

will disappear after the ﬁrst few times it is used.

IMPORTANT:

Because of their height, children may fail to see the residual heat

warning light. Take care that they do not touch the hob, even if the

heating elements are switched off.

CLEANING OF THE CERAMIC HOB

The ceramic hob is much easier to clean than a hob with conven-

tional hotplates. Light dirt can be removed with a sheet of damp

kitchen paper. To remove tougher dirt, use the same cleaning

methods as for glass, with speciﬁc detergents. If a pan boils over

onto the hob, use a spatula to remove the deposit formed. Sugar or

syrup must be removed immediately before it forms caramel on the

glass. Any residues of aluminium foil or plastic ﬁlm wrappings ac-

cidentally placed on the hob while it is still hot must also be removed

at once. Water marks and traces of scale can be removed with white

wine vinegar. Always remember to rinse and dry the surface with

kitchen paper after use. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents,

such as oven sprays, degreasers, rust-removers, powder polishing

detergents or abrasive sponges. Do not allow grains of sand to be

left on the hob when cleaning vegetables, for example, as they may

scratch the surface. Do not slide pans with rough bottoms over the

hob; they may mark or even scratch the glass.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

- This appliance must not be used by those with reduced mental or

motor capacities (including children), or by those who are not ex-

perienced or know how to work it, unless supervised or instructed

on its use by safety personnel. Children must be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

- Always disconnect the power supply before any work inside the

oven or where live parts may be accessed.

- Never use the warming compartment for storing inﬂammable liq-

uids or items which do not withstand heat, such as wood, paper,

aerosol cans, matches, etc.

- Make frequent checks on the rubber connection hose, ensuring

that it is well away from hot surfaces, that there are no sharp

bends or kinks, and that it is in good condition. The hose must be

replaced at the latest at the indicated date and must be secured

at both ends using a standard hose clamp.

- If taps become stiff to operate over time, contact the After-Sales

service.

- Wash enamelled or chrome-plated parts with soapy lukewarm

water or non-abrasive detergents. A metal brush may be used

to remove deposits from hob burners and ﬂame caps. Dry thor-

oughly.

- Never use abrasives to clean enamelled or chrome-plated

parts.

- Do not use too much water when washing the hob. Take care that

no water or other substances enter the burner housing holes, as

this may be dangerous.

- The spark plugs for electric ignition must be kept clean and dry;

always check after use, particularly if there have been drips or

overﬂows from pans.

- Never move the cooker by means of the handle.

- Never close glass lids until the hob burners or hotplates have

cooled completely; it might shatter or crack.

- Never knock enamelled parts or ignition spark plugs (where

present).

- The main or wall gas tap should be turned off when the cooker is

not in use.

- Do not clean the glass doors of the oven with rough, abrasive

materials or sharp metal scrapers, since they may scratch the

surface and cause the glass to shatter.

- Do not use vapor jets to clean the appliance.

- The cooker does not have an installation stand.

CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the

production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in

the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well

ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural

ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device

(mechanical extractor hood).

CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must

not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

A number of fundamental precautions must be complied with when

using household electrical appliances. In particular:

- The ceramic-glass hob has good mechanical strength and thus

withstands small accidental knocks. If the knob is broken or

cracked by a knock, do not use the appliance, disconnect the

power supply and contact your dealer.

- WARNING: If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch the ap-

pliance off to avoid the risk of electric shocks.
