[. . . ] Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply, removing it along with the plug. 30 Instructions for the user 4. 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. The supplied rack C is for use with woks (Chinese pans). The reduction D supplied only on open pan stand models is for use with small pans as well. 4. 1 Lighting the burners Raised indicators make reading and use of the controls easier and clearer: each knob being connected to its corresponding burner by a rib. The adjustment setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or to the marking on it. (on some models only) Double-crown burners, controlled by two knobs, feature two ribs: a long one corresponding to the small inner burner and a short one to the outer burner. Use pans with a smooth bottom and a thick base. Never use pans that are smaller than the plate. Dry the bottom of the pan before putting it down on the plate. When cooking food with oil or fat, which are highly flammable, never leave the appliance unattended. Even after use the plates stay hot for a long time: to avoid getting burned, do not place your hand or other objects on top of them. As soon as you notice a crack on the surface of the plates, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and contact the nearest authorised technical assistance centre. 34 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 the surface, 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. [. . . ] Make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the paragraph "3. 2 Burner and nozzle characteristics tables". 8. 2 Room ventilation The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow needed for the regular combustion of gas and the necessary air change in the room itself. The air vents, protected by grills, must be the right size to comply with current regulations and positioned so that no part of them is obstructed, not even partially. [. . . ]
