For the user
AU
- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long
time, apply a little grease to its painted sur-
face;
- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate,
requiring the use of abrasive cleaners.
For economical cooking:
- Use pans with fl at bottoms which are in con-
tact with the hotplate in all points:
• in stainless steel with thick or sandwich
bottom;
• in aluminium with thick, fl at bottom;
• in enamelled steel;
- make sure that pans are of appropriate size;
the pan bottom diameter must be equal to or
larger than that of the hotplate used;
- switch the hotplate off a few minutes before
the dish is completely cooked;
- use a lid whenever possible to prevent losses
by evaporation;
- never supply more power than the food is
able to absorb; excess heat leads to losses
of water and fats and wasted energy;
- never use more water than necessary.
The table below will serve as a guide, bearing
in mind that cooking times and temperatures
may vary depending on the type and amount
of foods cooked and personal taste.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Warning: Servicing should be carried out only
authorised personnel.
- The power supply must always be discon-
nected before any technical work.
- Enamelled or chrome plated parts must be
washed with lukewarm soapy water or non
abrasive detergents. A metal brush may be
used to remove hard deposits from burners
and fl ame caps. Dry thoroughly.
- Never use abrasives to clean enamelled or
chrome-plated parts.
- Do not use too much water when washing
the hob. Take care that no water or other
substances enter the burner housing holes,
as this may be dangerous.
- The spark plugs for electric ignition must
be kept clean and dry; always check after
use, particularly if there have been drips or
overfl ows from pans.
- Never knock enamelled parts or ignition
spark plugs (where present).
- When the hob is not in use, the central (or
wall) gas tap should be turned off.

Any of the following are considered to
be abnormal operating and may require
service:
- Yellow tipping of the hob burner fl ame.
- Sooting up of cooking utensils.
- Burners not igniting properly.
- Burners failing to remain alight.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for injury or damage deriving from poor in-
stallation or incorrect use of the hob.
In case of malfunctions, particularly gas
