USING THE HOB Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burners, flame-spreader crowns and racks are fitted correctly. In the ultra-rapid burner, notch A must be aligned with pin B. 4. 1 Lighting the burners The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and simultaneously turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol, until it lights. On valved models, hold down the knob for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. If this happens, repeat the procedure, holding the knob down for longer. If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. 31 Instructions for the user 4. 2 Practical tips for using the burners For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, pans with flat, even bases and with lids should be used, and their size should be in proportion to the burner (see "4. 3 Pan diameters"). During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the hob top and to the glass lid (when present), all pans or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and a minimum distance of 3-4 cm must be maintained from the knobs. Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The glass could crack and break with the heat. 4. 3 (*) 1 2 3 4 5 Pan diameters Burner Auxiliary Semi-rapid Rapid (3) Rapid (4) Ultra-rapid min.

Never use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes. 32 Instructions for the user 5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Important: DO NOT USE STEAM JETS FOR CLEANING THE HOB. Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 5. 1 Cleaning the hob To keep the hob in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 5. 1. 1 Ordinary daily cleaning To clean and preserve surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth. 5. 1. 2 Food stains or residues Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. With normal dirt, calcium and halos stains it is advisable to use Crema Inox with a microfibre cloth; with resistant charred dirt use Puliforno with a microfibre cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth. For correct operation, the ignition plugs and the safety devices must always be perfectly clean. [. . . ] The room must be kept adequately ventilated in order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: in particular, after prolonged use, you are recommended to open a window or to increase the speed of any fans. 8. 3 Extraction of the combustion products The combustion products may be extracted by means of hoods connected to a natural draught chimney whose efficiency is certain or via forced extraction. An efficient extraction system requires precision planning by a specialist qualified in this area and must comply with the positions and distances indicated by the regulations. When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity. 40 Instructions for the installer 9. [. . . ]
