User manual SMEG HB96CSS-3

[. . . ] 40 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER: these contain user advice, description of the commands and the correct procedures for cleaning and maintenance of the appliance. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER: these instructions are intended for the qualified technician who must perform the installation, put it into operation and test the appliance. 22 Precautions for use 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. IT MUST BE KEPT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR THE WHOLE WORKING LIFE OF THE HOB. [. . . ] Simply press the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again. On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for a longer time. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as needed. Always check that the control knobs are in the (off) position when you finish using the hob. 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. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 27 Instructions for the User 5. 2 Practical tips for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus avoiding that the flames reach the sides of the pan (see point "5. 3 Pan diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. 5. 3 Pan diameters BURNERS MIN.

Ø (IN CM) 16 - 24 1 Auxiliary 26 - 28 2 Rapid If you have the Tepanyaki plate (optional extra) never use it on the ultrarapid burner for any reason. Warning: At the end of cooking using pans with aluminium bases you may find white residues on the cast iron pan stands. These residues are usually caused by the pan base rubbing against the pan stand and are difficult to remove with normal cleaning. Using abrasive or excessively aggressive products to clean the pan stand could damage its enamel surface. 28 Instructions for the User 6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE. Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the appliance. 6. 1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 6. 1. 1 Ordinary daily cleaning To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, 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 deerskin. 6. 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. [. . . ] FINAL OPERATIONS FOR GAS APPLIANCES After making the adjustments described above, reassemble the appliance by following the instructions in point "9. 1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob" in reverse order. After adjustment with a gas other than the preset one, replace the label on the casing of the appliance with the label corresponding to the new gas. This label can be obtained from the nearest Authorised Service Centre. 10. 1 Adjusting the minimum for town and natural gas Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position. Extract the gas tap knob and turn the adjustment screw inside or next to the tap rod (depending on the model) until the correct minimum flame is achieved. [. . . ]
