• The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of heat must never be
covered.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the "●"/"○" position when the appliance
is not in use.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket,
do not pull on the cable.
• Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work without having detached
the plug from the mains.
• In case of malfunction, under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service
Centre (see Assistance).
• Do not close the glass cover (if present) when the gas burners or electric
hotplates are still hot.
• The appliance should not be operated by people (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced
individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who
assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions

Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that
the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment )WEEE(, requires that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol
on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids and use as little
water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy
consumption.
• Use purely flat pots and pans.
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it's worth using a
pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out
any work on it.
Cleaning the hob surface
• All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and
neutral solution.
• Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive
detergents if left in contact for too long. Any food spills (water, sauce, coffee,
etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
• Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft
cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with specific cleaners for stainless
steel surfaces.
• Clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan
scourers.
• Do not use steam cleaning appliances.
• Do not use flammable products.
• Do not leave acid or alkaline substances, such as vinegar, mustard, salt,
sugar or lemon juice on the hob.
Cleaning the hob parts
• Clean the enamelled and glass parts only with soft cloth or sponge.

• Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent,
removing any food residues and checking that none of the burner openings
is clogged.
• Rinse and dry.
• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned
with the burner.

thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to ensure correct operation.
Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp
cloth. Any baked-on food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
! To avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the
burners are not in their housing.

the tap must be replaced.
! This procedure must be performed by a qualified technician authorised
by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
It may happen that the appliance does not function properly or at all. Before
calling the service centre for assistance, check if anything can be done. First,
check to see that there are no interruptions in the gas and electrical supplies,
and, in particular, that the gas valves for the mains are open.
The burner does not light or the flame is not even around the burner.
Check whether:
• The gas holes on the burner are clogged.
• All the movable parts that make up the burner are mounted correctly.
• There are draughts near the appliance.
The flame dies in models with a safety device.
Check to make sure that:
• You pressed the knob all the way in.
• You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate the safety device.
• The gas holes are not blocked in the area corresponding to the safety
device.
