For best performance, keep in mind the following:
•
All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic
glass cooking surface. However, it is important that the
bottom be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottoms
distribute heat more evenly.
•
Use cookware the diameter of which is at least as large
as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by
the heating element is used.
•
Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and
clean to insure good contact between the cookware
and the cooking surface. This will also increase the life
of the pots and of the ceramic glass surface as well.
•
Do not use the same cookware that you use for gas
burners because the concentrated heat they produce
can deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will
not achieve best results when using these pots on the
ceramic glass surface.
Notice: The glue used to seal the glass surface may leave
traces on the appliance. We recommend that the module
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner before being used
the first time. During the first few hours of use, you may
detect the smell of rubber; this will disappear after a short
time.
Is there a problem?
It may occur that the cooktop does not function or does
not function properly. Before calling customer service for
assistance, lets see what can be done.
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the
gas valves for the mains are open.
The burner does not light or the flame is not uniform
around the burner.
Check to make sure that:
•
The gas holes on the burner are not clogged;
•
All of the movable parts that make up the burner are
mounted correctly;
•
There are no draughts around the cooking surface.
The flame does not stay lighted on the model with the
safety device.
Check to make sure that:
•
You press the knob all the way in;
•
You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate
the safety device.
•
The gas holes are not clogged in the area
corresponding to the safety device.
The burner does not remain on when set to "Low".
Check to make sure that:
•
The gas holes are not clogged.
•
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.
•
The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see the
section entitled, "Minimum Regulation").
The cookware is not stable.
Check to make sure that:
•
The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.
•
The cookware is centered correctly on the burner or
electric hot plate.
•
The support grids have not been inverted.
If, despite all of these checks, the cooktop does not
function properly and problem persists, call the nearest
Merloni Elettrodomestici Customer Service Centre,
informing them of:
- The type of problem.
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as
indicated on the warranty.
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are
not original.
