If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ￿.

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

Always turn the flame down or put it out before taking the pans off the burner.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-

heated.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners

Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food. Carefully wash the stainless steel components with water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.

If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.

Periodic maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.

To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically lubricated.

￿The periodic lubrication of the taps must be carried out by qualified personnel, which you must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
