[. . . ] PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT TO HAND THROUGHOUT THE COOKER'S LIFE CYCLE. WE URGE YOU TO READ THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE COOKER. ALSO KEEP THE SET OF NOZZLES PROVIDED IN A SAFE PLACE. [. . . ] The optional reducer B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand C for use underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter. The pan stand C supplied is for use even with small pans. The burner it controls is shown next to each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. On some models, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. In models with burner ignition button, turn the knob as already described while pressing the button. On models equipped with valves, once the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer. This is not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. For correct use, follow these rules: Do not switch the plate on until you have placed the pan on it. · Use pans with thick, flat bottoms. · Never use pans smaller than the plate. · Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the plate. · After use, to keep the electric plate in good condition and ensure its surface remains clean and shining, it must be treated with the appropriate commercial products. This necessary procedure prevents oxidation (rusting). · Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking easily flammable foods containing oil and fat. · The plates will remain hot even for a long time after use; do not touch them with your hands or place anything on them to prevent the risk of burns. · Before lighting the electric plates lift the glass lid of the cooker; before closing it again, turn off all the plates and wait for them to cool. · If you notice a crack in the surface of the plates, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply immediately and contact your nearest authorised service centre. 21 Instructions for the User 7.
