[. . . ] Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of electrical 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 grid, removing it along with the plug. 26 Instructions for the user 4. USING THE HOB 4. 1 Lighting the hob burners Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and thermocouples. H A A The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol , until the burner lights. 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 longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the O (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. Turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 27 Instructions for the user 4. 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 preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see paragraph "4. 3 Pan Diameter"). 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 griddles 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. 4. 3 Pan diameters HOB BURNER 1 Auxiliary 2 Rapid 3 Ultra-rapid Ø min.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the appliance. NEVER USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE. 5. 1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. 5. 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 chamois leather. [. . . ] Once the operation is complete, check the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution; never use a flame. The hob is preset for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar. To set it up for supply using other types of gas, see "3. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS". [. . . ]
