[. . . ] This grid is intended for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in point "6. 3 Pan diameters". All pans more than 30 cm in diameter must only be used on the central burner. The burner it controls is shown next to each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum 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. 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: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. 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. Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required. After each use of the hob, always check that the control knobs are turned to (off). If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner. 26 Instructions for the User 6. 2 Practical hints for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with flat, even bottoms with lid and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6. 3 Pan diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob 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. 6. 3 Pan diameters BURNERS Ø MIN.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE. Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. 7. 1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use of the appliance, first allowing it to cool. 7. 1. 1 Routine daily cleaning When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. 7. 1. 2 Food stains or spills Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. [. . . ] Connection with steel hose: Use only continuous wall steel hoses which comply with the relevant regulations, and always fit the provided gasket A between the hob fitting and the hose itself B. When connecting with a hose, ensure that the total length of the pipeline is not more than 1. 5 metres; also ensure that the hoses do not touch moving parts and are not crushed. 9. 1 Bottled gas connection Use a pressure regulator and make the connection to the gas cylinder in accordance with the relevant regulations. Make sure that the gas supply pressure is as stated in the table in point "10. 2 Burner and Nozzle Data Tables". In this case as well, use a copper pipe or a continuous wall steel hose. [. . . ]
