[. . . ] 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 6. 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 "6. 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. 6. 3 Pan diameters BURNERS MIN.

Ø (IN CM) 16 - 24 26 - 28 1 2 Auxiliary 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 7. 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. 7. 1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first. 7. 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. 7. 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 cleaning steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin. 7. 2 Cleaning the gas components For easier cleaning the pan stands, burner caps, flame spreader crowns and burners can all be removed; wash them with warm water and a nonabrasive detergent making sure to remove any encrustation and wait until they are perfectly dry. Replace the burner caps on their corresponding crowns, making sure that the slots A are centred with the burner pins B. For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. [. . . ] Installation with the flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 2 metres fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not come into contact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any way. 9. 1 Connection to liquid gas Use a pressure regulator and make the connection on the gas cylinder following the guidelines established by the regulations in force. Make sure that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in the table at point "10. 2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table". 36 Instructions for the installer 9. 2 Room ventilation The appliance may only be installed in permanently ventilated rooms, as specified by the standard UNI-CIG 7129 / 7131. In the room where the appliance is installed, there must be an adequate air flow to meet the requirements of normal gas combustion and the necessary ventilation of the room itself. The air vent, protected by grilles, must be suitably dimensioned (UNI CIG 7129 / 7131) and positioned so that no part of it is obstructed, even partially. [. . . ]
