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

17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off
the main switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
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 original spare
parts only. Failure to comply with the above may compro-
mise the safety of the appliance.
19 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, remem-
ber to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance
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 un-
even 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 children well
away.
26 Gas appliances require regular air exchange to ensure
trouble-free performance. When installing the cooker,
follow the instructions provided in the paragraph 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 pedestal
itself.
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:
