The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guar-
anteed if it is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compli-
ance with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure
that the earthing is efficient. If you have any doubts, con-
tact a qualified technician to check the system. The manu-
facturer declines all liability for damage resulting from a

Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that
the specifications indicated on the date plate (on the ap-
pliance and/or packaging) correspond with those of the
electrical and gas systems in your home.
9
Check that the electrical capacity of the system and sock-
ets will support the maximum power of the appliance, as
indicated on the data plate. If you have any doubts, con-
tact a qualified technician.
10 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3
mm or more is required for installation.
11 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have
the socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified
technician, who should also check that the cross-section
of the socket cable is sufficient for the power absorbed
by the appliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets
and/or extensions, is not recommended. If their use can-
not be avoided, remember to use only single or multiple
adapters and extensions which comply with current safety
regulations. In these cases, never exceed the maximum
current capacity indicated on the individual adaptor or
extension and the maximum power indicated on the mul-
tiple adapter.

persion must never be covered.
14 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appli-
ance. Always contact an after-sales service centre which
has been authorised by the manufacturer if the cable

15 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it
was expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms)
is considered to be improper and consequently danger-
ous. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage
resulting from improper and irresponsible use.
16 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when
using electrical appliances. The following are of particular
importance:
•
Do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet
are wet.
•
Do not use the appliance barefooted.

Do not use extensions, but if they are necessary, cau-
tion must be exercised.
•
Never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to
unplug the appliance plug from the mains.
•
Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric
agents (rain, sun etc.)
•
Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar
with the appliance to use it, without supervision.
17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the main switch before cleaning or carrying out mainte-
nance.
18 In the case of problems and/or faulty operation, switch
off the appliance, close the gas cock and do not tamper
with the appliance. For repairs, contact only authorised
after-sales service centres and request the use of origi-
nal spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above
may compromise the safety of the appliance.
19 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, re-
member to make it unserviceable by unplugging the ap-
pliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable. Also
make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe,
above all for children who could play with the appliance.
20 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with
uneven or deformed bottoms on the burners or on the
electric plates. Turn the handles of pots and pans inwards
to avoid knocking them over accidentally.
21 Some parts of the appliance, in particular the hot plates,
remain heated for a long time after use. Make sure not to
touch them.
22 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline,
etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
23 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep
the supply cord away from the hot parts.
24 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”¡” position when the
appliance is not in use.
25 When the appliance is in use, the heating elements
and some parts of the oven door become extremely
hot. Make sure you don't touch them and keep chil-
dren well away.
26 Gas appliances require regular air exchange to en-
sure trouble-free performance. When installing the
cooker, follow the instructions provided in the para-
graph on “Positioning” the appliance.
27 The glass top (only on certain models) can shatter if it is
overheated. Therefore, all of the burners or hot plates must
be turned off before the top is closed.
28 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the ped-
estal itself.
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:
