IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
✓
After having unpacked the
appliance, check to ensure that it
is not damaged. In case of doubt,
do not use it and consult your
supplier or a professionally
qualified technician.
✓
Packing elements (i.e. plastic
bags, polystyrene foam, nails,
packing straps, etc.) should not
be left around within easy reach
of children, as these may cause
serious injuries.
✓
Do not attempt to modify the
technical characteristics of the
appliance as this may become
dangerous to use.
✓
Do not carry out cleaning or
maintenance operations on the
appliance without having
previously disconnected it from
the electric power supply.
✓
If you should decide not to use
this appliance any longer (or
decide to substitute an older
model), before disposing of it, it
is recommended that it be made
inoperative in an appropriate
manner in accordance to health
and environmental protection
regulations, ensuring in particular
that all potentially hazardous
parts be made harmless,
especially in relation to children
who could play with unused
appliances.
TIPS FOR THE USER
✓
During and immediately after use
some parts of the hob can reach
very high temperatures. Do not
touch them.
✓
Keep children away when the hob
is in use.
✓
After using the hob make sure
that the knob is turned off and
turn off the main tap of the gas
supply pipe or the cylinder tap.
✓
When you are not using the hob
it is a good idea to turn off the
gas supply tap.
✓
Regular lubrication of the gas
taps must only be performed by
specialised engineers. If the gas
taps are not working properly call
the After-Sales Service.
✓
Make sure that the electrical
cables of other appliances
installed nearby cannot come into
contact with the cooktop.
✓
Do not allow heavy or sharp
objects to drop on the glass hob.
If the hob is cracked or otherwise
damaged by falling objects etc.,
disconnect the electrical power
cord and call Customer Service.
CAUTION:
✓
If the burner is accidentally
extinguished, turn the gas off at the
control knob and wait at least 1
minute before attempting to relight.
✓
Gas hobs produce heat and
humidity in the environment in
which they are installed. Ensure
that the cooking area is well
ventilated by opening the natural
ventilation grilles or by installing an
extractor hood connected to an
outlet duct.
✓
If the hob is used for a prolonged
time it may be necessary to provide
further ventilation by opening a
window or by increasing the
suction power of the extractor
hood (if fitted).
