CAUTION
- Do not look directly at the halogen hotplates while they are on,
as the light emitted from the hotplates may be harmful to your
eyes.
- The ceramic glass surface is very tough but it is not shatterproof
and it may not be used to place objects upon it.
- It may be damaged if struck violently by sharp or very hard ob-
jects.
- If breakages, crazing or cracks appear on its surface, stop using
it and contact the after-sales service immediately.
- Do not place aluminium foil or plastic film wrappings on the hob
while it is still hot.
- Soon after installation, the hob may give off a burnt smell; this will
disappear after the first few times it is used.
IMPORTANT:
Because of their height, children may fail to see the residual heat
warning light. Take care that they do not touch the hob, even if the
heating elements are switched off.
CLEANING OF THE CERAMIC HOB
The ceramic hob is much easier to clean than a hob with conven-
tional hotplates. Light dirt can be removed with a sheet of damp
kitchen paper. To remove tougher dirt, use the same cleaning
methods as for glass, with specific detergents. If a pan boils over
onto the hob, use a spatula to remove the deposit formed. Sugar or
syrup must be removed immediately before it forms caramel on the
glass. Any residues of aluminium foil or plastic film wrappings ac-
cidentally placed on the hob while it is still hot must also be removed
at once. Water marks and traces of scale can be removed with white
wine vinegar. Always remember to rinse and dry the surface with
kitchen paper after use. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents,
such as oven sprays, degreasers, rust-removers, powder polishing
detergents or abrasive sponges. Do not allow grains of sand to be
left on the hob when cleaning vegetables, for example, as they may
scratch the surface. Do not slide pans with rough bottoms over the
hob; they may mark or even scratch the glass.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
- This appliance must not be used by those with reduced mental or
motor capacities (including children), or by those who are not ex-
perienced or know how to work it, unless supervised or instructed
on its use by safety personnel.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
- Always disconnect the power supply before any work inside the
oven or where live parts may be accessed.
- Never use the warming compartment for storing inflammable liq-
uids or items which do not withstand heat, such as wood, paper,
aerosol cans, matches, etc.
- Make frequent checks on the rubber connection hose, ensuring
that it is well away from hot surfaces, that there are no sharp
bends or kinks, and that it is in good condition. The hose must be
replaced at the latest at the indicated date and must be secured
at both ends using a standard hose clamp.
- If taps become stiff to operate over time, contact the After-Sales
service.
- Wash enamelled or chrome-plated parts with soapy lukewarm
water or non-abrasive detergents. A metal brush may be used
For the user GB
to remove deposits from hob burners and flame caps. Dry thor-
oughly.
- Never use abrasives to clean enamelled or chrome-plated
parts.
- Do not use too much water when washing the hob. Take care that
no water or other substances enter the burner housing holes, as
this may be dangerous.
- The spark plugs for electric ignition must be kept clean and dry;
always check after use, particularly if there have been drips or
overflows from pans.
- Never move the cooker by means of the handle.
- Do not clean the glass doors of the oven with rough, abrasive
materials or sharp metal scrapers, since they may scratch the
surface and cause the glass to shatter.
- Do not use vapor jets to clean the appliance.
- The cooker does not have an installation stand.
- Never close glass lids until the hob burners or hotplates have
cooled completely; it might shatter or crack.
- Never knock enamelled parts or ignition spark plugs (where
present).
- The main or wall gas tap should be turned off when the cooker is
not in use.
CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical extractor hood).
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must
not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.
A number of fundamental precautions must be complied with when
using household electrical appliances. In particular:
- The ceramic-glass hob has good mechanical strength and thus
withstands small accidental knocks. If the knob is broken or
cracked by a knock, do not use the appliance, disconnect the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Advice in case of malfunctions
Before contacting your After-Sales Service, check that:
- the plug is fitted properly into the mains socket;
- the master pilot is on.
If the problem persists, consult a qualified, authorised technician
capable of repairing the fault.
If the oven light does not work, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the power supply. Remove the protective glass on the
back of the oven and replace the bulb.
No liability is accepted for injury or damage caused by poor instal-
lation or improper use of the cooker.
In case of malfunctions, particularly gas leaks or short-circuits,
contact your engineer without delay.
