VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The appliance must be installed in compliance with applicable local regulations
concerning ventilation and the evacuation of exhaust gases.
Intensive and prolonged use may require extra ventilation, e.g. opening a window,
or more ecient ventilation increasing the mechanical suction power if this is tted.
CHOOSING SUITABLE SURROUNDINGS
The room where the gas appliance is to be installed must have a natural ow of air so that
the gas can burn (in compliance with applicable local regulations).
The ow of air must come directly from one or more openings made in the outside walls
with a free area of at least 100 cm
2
(or refer to applicable local regulations).
The openings should be near the oor and preferably on the side opposite the exhaust for
combustion products and must be made so that they cannot be blocked from either the
inside or the outside.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air can come from an adjacent
room which is ventilated as required, as long as it is not a bed room or a danger area (in
compliance with applicable local regulations).
In this case, the kitchen door must allow the passage of the air.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the products
of combustion of the gas appliance to be discharged (g. 1.3).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may be used, attached to the external wall or the
window; the fan should have a capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate of 3-5 times the
total volume of the kitchen (g. 1.4).
The fan can only be installed if the room has suitable vents to allow air to enter, as described
under the heading “Choosing suitable surroundings”.

NOTE:
The knob and symbols may vary.
N.B. When the cooktop is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their
closed positions and also close the
cock valve on the gas bottle or the
main gas supply line.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (g. 2.2) to the
full ame position marked by the “ ”
symbol (g. 2.1); hold the knob in until
the ame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for a few seconds after the gas
burner has been lit before letting
go of
the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner ame should go out for some
reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas ow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed “ ” position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
Note: If your local gas supply makes it
dicult to light the burner with the knob set
to maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob there is a diagram that indicates which burner is
controlled by that knob.
The burners and pans must be used in accordance with the following instructions:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary
(*)
12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Double-ring compact 26 cm 28 cm
Double-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Wok (**) - Max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
(*) with small pan adapter (optional): minimum diameter 6 cm
(**) only for the models with Double-ring compact or Double-ring burner and with
wok pan adapter supplied
It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as
not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time
since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the
surface of the pot.
CAUTION: Make sure the pans are central to the burner for maximum stability and greater
eciency.
Make sure the pans are not in contact with the control knobs, otherwise the ame could
overheat the knobs and permanently damage them.

WOK STAND (OPTIONAL)
(gs. 2.4a - 2.4b)
This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the double-ring compact
or double-ring burner (depending on models).
Warning:
• Using woks without this special grille may cause the burner to malfunction.
• Do not use the grille for ordinary, at-bottomed saucepans.
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the
double-ring compact or double-ring burner (depending on models).

All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-
abrasive products. Dry preferably with a microbre or soft cloth.
If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel
for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.
Do not shut lid when
burner alight.
ATTENTION
Do not lower the glass lid when
the gas burner are still hot
and when the oven, installed
below the cooking hob,
is on or still hot.
Do not lay on the glass lid hot

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with
water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.
For persistent dirt, use specic non-
abrasive products available commercially
or a little hot vinegar.
Note: Continuous use may cause a
change in the glaze around the burners,
corresponding to the areas exposed to
the heat.
PAINTED PARTS AND SILKSCREEN
PRINTED SURFACES
Clean using an appropriate product. Always
dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned
very carefully to avoid scratching and
abrasion.
You are advised to use a soft cloth and
neutral soap.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive
substances or non-neutral detergents
as these will irreparably damage the

GAS TAPS
• Do not let cleaning products come into
contact with the valves.
• Periodic lubrication of the gas taps
must be carried out by specialist
personnel only.
• In the event of operating faults in the
gas taps, call the Service Department.
BURNERS
These parts must be cleaned using a
sponge and soapy water or other suitable
nonabrasive products. Dry with a soft cloth.
Warning! Not dishwasher safe.
If left on the surface for a length of time,
acidic substances such as lemon juice,
tomato sauces and passata, vinegar and
other similar products will damage the

ignition do not use it when the burners
are not in place.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF
THE AUXILIARY, SEMI-RAPID AND
RAPID BURNER (depending on
your model, your cooktop may only
have some of these burners - see
page 23)
It is very important to check that the burner
ame distributor “F” and the cap “C” have
been correctly positioned (see gs. 3.1,
3.2) - failure to do so can cause serious
problems.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF
THE DOUBLE-RING COMPACT
AND DOUBLE-RING BURNER
