• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is

not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is

extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and

feet.

• The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food,

in accordance with the instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other

use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper

use and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be held liable for

any damage resulting from improper, incorrect and unreasonable

use of the appliance.

• Ensure that the power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not

come into contact with the hot parts of the oven.

• 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

relating to the operation of the appliance.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external

timer or separate remote-control system.

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-tting lids and use as little

water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy

consumption.

• Use purely at 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 specic 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 ammable 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.

• Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.

• 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.

• Ret burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.

• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned

with the burner.

• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require

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.

! It is not necessary to remove the pan supports in order to clean the hob

surface. Thanks to the support system, simply lift and hold the pan supports

or rotate them until they rest against a rear support.

Do not place the hot grids on top of the glass cover (if applicable),

otherwise the rubber plugs on the glass may be damaged.

Gas tap maintenance

Over time, the taps may become jammed or difcult to turn. If this happens,

the tap must be replaced.

! This procedure must be performed by a qualied technician authorised

by the manufacturer.
