LOOKING AFTER THE SURROUND
Clean dirt off using a damp cloth or warm,
soapy water. With stubborn stains, use a
special glass ceramic cleaning agent, or a
liquid polish for domestic appliances. Rub
the product on without diluting it, leave it to
work, and then wipe off with a dry cloth. Do
not use metal scourers or hard synthetics.
Anti-accidental turn system
on gas controls
On models without the safety
system (without the gas cut-off device),
the gas taps are equipped with a mechani-
cal system that prevents the controls from
being freely turned from the off position to
the on position (and, therefore, prevents
any accidental escape of gas from the bur-
ners)
if the control has not previously
been pressed down.
I
f at any time while using the
hob you notice that a control can be
turned from the off position without it
needing to be pressed down before-
hand (for example: due to dirt which
may have got into the gas taps and
built up there) you should, for your
own safety, get quickly in touch with
technical assistance in order to resol-
ve this fault.

Igniting the burners
* Make sure that the knobs are in their
correct position.
* Turn on the gas at the mains or turn the
gas cylinder’s tap.
* Put a flame or spark to the burner.
* Make sure that the control corresponds
to the burner you want to turn on - the
control panel and the upper part of each
burner shows which control belongs to
which burner. Press the control knob
(figure 14) and at the same time turn it
anti-clockwise to the maximum position
(the big flame). The burner will now
come on at full power; then, if you wish,
you can turn the knob to the minimum
position (the small flame).
If a gas smell is noted, the gas intake to
the hob should be shut off and the room
ventilated. The gas installation and the hob
should also be checked by a specialised
technician.
Use flat-bottomed pans and check that
they sit squarely on the grid, so that when
food boils the pan does not slip (do not use
pans with a concave or convex base).
Only pans with a minimum diameter of
120
mm.
should be used. If you wish to use a
smaller pan, it should be placed on the
semi-rapid burner.
When the burners are in opera-
tion or have recently been in operation,
the hob will be hot in places and this
can lead to burns. Children should be
