USE  
Notes:  
use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.  
The room must therefore be well ventilated.  
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This can be  
achieved by opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical exhausting system if  
installed.  
WARNING!  
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater  
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result  
in carbon monoxide poisoning and  
overheating ot the oven.

CLEANING  
CAUTION:  
before cleaning the appliance, disconnect it  
from the gas and electricity supplies.  
- Traces of liquid spilled from pans can be  
eliminated with vinegar or lemon juice.  
- Never allow sugar or sugary foods to fall on the  
hob while cooking. Should this occur, switch off  
the hob and clean it immediately with hot water,  
using a scraper on hot spills.  
3) WORKTOP  
If you wish to maintain the shine of the ceramic  
surface, treat the glass with a silicon-based film  
product before use to protect the surface against  
water and dirt. This protective film is not durable,  
so it is advisable to repeat the application of the  
product frequently.  
- As time goes by metallic reflections, colouring or  
scratches may appear due to poor cleaning and  
the incorrect movement of pans. Scratches are  
hard to eliminate but do not affect the correct  
operation of your hob.  
- Do not use jets of steam to clean the appliance.  
It is very important to clean the hob every time you  
use it, while the glass is still warm.  
Do not clean using abrasive metal scourers, powder  
abrasives or corrosive sprays.  
Depending on the degree of dirt, we recommend:  
- for light stains, a damp sponge is sufficient.  
- Tough, encrusted dirt is easily eliminated using a  
scraper (fig. 3), not supplied with the hob, but  
easy to find in local stores. Use the scraper  
carefully to avoid damaging the hob.

safety cut-off sensors “TC” (see fig. 5) must be  
cleaned. Do not wash them in the dishwasher.  
Cleaning operations must be carried out when the  
hob and components are not hot and the use of  
metal scouring pads, powder abrasives and  
corrosive sprays must be avoided.  
- If the opening and closing of any valve is  
awkward, do not force it but request urgent  
intervention by the technical assistance  
service.  
- Do not use jets of steam to clean the  
appliance.  
- To prevent difficulties with lighting, regularly  
clean the ignition elements (ceramic and  
electrode) and safety cut-off devices.
