Instructions for the User 4.
Instructions for the User 5. BEFORE INSTALLATION Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest separate disposal centre. The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing residues. For further information about cleaning, see chapter "7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".
Instructions for the User 6. USING THE HOB 6.1 Gas hob Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in point "6.
Instructions for the User 6.2 Practical hints for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with flat, even bottoms with lid and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up 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.
Instructions for the User 6.4 Ceramic hob The appliance is equipped with two cooking zones having different diameters and powers. Their positions are clearly marked by rings and heating only occurs inside the diameters marked on the hob. The cooking zones switch on after a few seconds and their temperature is regulated by turning the knob to the required setting between 1 and 9. Setting is on a gradual scale, so all the intermediate positions between the numbers can be used.
Instructions for the User • • • 6.5 Pan bottoms must be very thick and perfectly flat, and they and the hob must be clean and dry. Never use cast iron or rough-bottomed pans since they might scratch the cooking surface. The diameter of the pan bottom must be the same as the diameter of the ring on the cooking zone; otherwise, energy will be wasted. Barbeque You can use the barbeque section for grilling, gratiné dishes or as a barbeque.
Instructions for the User When it flashes at regular intervals, the barbeque power level is being kept constantly at the set level. For grill removal and cleaning instructions, see point “7.4 Cleaning the barbeque”. 6.6 Frier The frying temperature is selected by turning the knob to a setting between 1, 2 and 3. The following table summarises the type of frying operation suitable for the various settings.
Instructions for the User WARNING: before raising the heating element, make sure it is cold. Risk of burns! WARNING: when the heating element is raised, take care not to turn on the control device. Risk of burns! The ideal frying temperature is between 160° C adn 185° C. At higher or lower values, the oil deteriorates very quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food's surface is not sealed by the heat and it becomes greasy. The larger the pieces, the longer they need to fry.
Instructions for the User 7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE NEVER USE A JET OF STEAM FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE. Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. 7.1 Cleaning stainless steel To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly, after each use of the appliance, first allowing it to cool. 7.1.
Instructions for the User 7.3 Cleaning the ceramic hob The ceramic hob must be cleaned regularly, preferably after each use, when the residual heat warning lights have gone out. Any marks left by the use of pans with aluminium bottoms can be wiped off with a cloth dipped in vinegar. If burnt residues are left after cooking, remove them with the scraper provided, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Instructions for the User WARNING: when the heating element is raised, take care not to turn on the control device. Risk of burns! 7.5 Cleaning the frier Apart from following the instructions provided in point “7.1 Cleaning stainless steel”, a few precautions are necessary when cleaning the well. Once you have finished frying and removed the basket (which is dishwasher-friendly), use the handles provided to lift out the well containing the frying oil.
Instructions for the Installer 8. INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE 8.1 Fitting the appliance in the top This appliance is in class 3. The procedures required below must be carried out by a skilled builder and/or joiner. The hob can be installed on various materials, including masonry, metal, solid wood and wood finished with plastic laminates, provided the material is heat-resistant (T 90° C). 8.1.
Instructions for the Installer WARNING: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A HOB WITH FISH BURNER, THE DISTANCE "X" FROM THE SIDE WALL INCREASES FROM 100 mm TO 300 mm. See side for the hole to be made in the top if the frier is to be installed. The dotted lines show the external dimensions of the product, and the grey area the size of the hole. Important: other types of installation are only possible under the manufacturer's supervision. 8.
Instructions for the Installer Operation at 220-240 V~: use a type H05V2V2-F three-wire cable (cable of 3 x 1.5 mm2 for electric hobs and a cable of 3 x 0.75 mm2 for gas hobs) The earth wire (yellow-green) must be at least 20 mm longer than the other wires at the end for connection to the appliance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance.
Instructions for the Installer 9. GAS CONNECTION Before installing it, check that the local gas supply conditions (gas type and pressure) are compatible with the appliance's settings. The connection to the gas mains may be made using a copper pipe or a continuous-wall steel hose in accordance with the standard regulations in force. When installation is complete, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a naked light. The appliance is tested with G20 (2H) natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar.
Instructions for the Installer 9.2 Room ventilation The appliance may only be installed in a permanently ventilated room as specified by the relevant regulations. The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must be sufficient for proper gas combustion and room ventilation. The air intakes, protected by gratings, must be of suitable size (see relevant regulations) and located so that they cannot be even partially obstructed.
Instructions for the Installer 10. ADAPTING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS Before carrying out the operations described below, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. The appliance is tested with G20 (2H) natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar. If it is to be used with other types of gas, the burner nozzles have to be changed and the gas taps adjusted to set the minimum flame. To replace the nozzles, proceed as described below. 10.
