Dear customer,
We would like to thank and congratulate you for your choice.
This practical modern appliance has been made using materials of
the highest quality, which have been put through the strictest of
Quality Controls during manufacture and meticulously tested to
ensure that they meet all of your cooking demands. To make life
easier, this instructions booklet is divided up into two sections:
instructions of use and installation instructions.
We kindly ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee first-class results from the very start. This
booklet contains important information not only concerning use,
but also concerning your own personal safety and maintenance of
the appliance.
Our products need to be carefully packed to protect them during
transportation. All the material used for packing is considered
essential for this purpose and is also completely recyclable. You
too can contribut towards protecting the environment by disposing
of this material at your nearest recyclable refuse collection point.
Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the kitchen sink. Oil may
seriously damage the environment. Dispose of it in a closed container
at your nearest collection point or, failing this, dispose of it in your
rubbish bin. Although this last solution is far from perfect, your oil
will be taken to a controlled refuse dump where it will not be allowed
to pollute water. You and your children will appreciate it.
Render your old appliance useless before disposing of it at your
nearest recyclable refuse collection centre.
Your local authority will be pleased to inform you where your nearest
centre is.

DON'Ts DOs
Do not place receptacles on
burners off centre. They
could tip over.
Do not use wide-based
receptacles on the burners
nearest to the controls.
When centred on the burner,
they could touch the controls
or raise the temperature in
the area. This may damage
the hob.
Do not place receptacles
directly on top of burners.
Do not use excessive
weights or strike the hob
with heavy objects.
Handle receptacles on
the hob with care.
Warnings concerning cooking:
Do not use receptacles
with uneven bases. They
lengthen cooking times and
increase energy
consumption.
Only use thick-,flat-based
saucepans, frying pans
and casseroles.
Do not cook without lids
or with lids only partially
covering receptacles.
You are wasting energy.
Always use lids.
Always place
receptacles in the
middle of burners.
Always place receptacle
on the pans support.
Make sure that the metal
grids and the tops of the
burners are correctly
positioned before using
them.
Do not use small
receptacles on large
burners. The flame
should not touch the
sides of receptacles.
Always use suitably sized
receptacles on each
burner. This helps avoid
excessive gas
consumption and prevents
receptacles from getting
tarnished.
Do not use two burners or
heat sources for a single
recipient.
Do not use baking trays,
earthenware dishes, etc...
at full heat for a long time
Only use one recipient
per burner. Use the
extra mental grid on the
burner with three
flames.

Cleaning and maintenance:
The high temperatures suffered by the cover on the triple-flame burner ring and the
product suitable for stainless steel.
After washing the pans support, dry them thoroughly before cooking with them again.
The presence of droplets of water or dampness at the beginning of the cooking process
Be careful with the feet on the metal grids when cleaning them; if they are detached,
the grid may scratch the glass next time it is used.
DON'Ts DOs
Do not use scouring
powder, over cleaner
sprays or abrasive pads
that may scratch the glass.
Never use sharp objects
such as knives or wire wool
to remove the remains of
food that has become
encrusted onto the surface.
Do not use knives,
scrapers or similar
implements for cleaning
the joins between the glass
and the rims of the burners
or the metal surrounds.
Do not slide recipients over
the glass as they may
scratch it. Similarly, do not
drop hard or sharp objects
onto the glass. Avoid
Knocking any part of the
edge of the cooking plate.
Grains of sand, which may,
for example, come from
cleaning vegetables, can
scratch the glass surface.
Clean the surface of the
heating elements once
they have cooled down,
each time they are used.
Even small amounts of dirt
burn when it is switched
on again.
The burners and pans
support must be cleaned
regulary to keep them
clean. This is done by
submerging them in
soaply water and
scrubbing them them with
a non-metal brush to keep
the holes and slits free
from obstruction so they
can give a perfect flame.
Dry the burner covers
whenever wet or damp.
After cleaning and drying
the burners, make sure
that the covers are
properly in position on the
flame diffuser.
Once the appliance is
cold, clean it with a
sponge and soapy
