TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the hob will not operate correctly, before calling the After-Sales Service, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide to determine
the problem.
1. The burner fails to ignite or the flame is not even
Check that:
• The gas or electrical supplies are not shut off and especially that the gas supply tap is open.
• The gas cylinder (liquid gas) is not empty.
• The burner openings are not clogged.
• The plug end is not dirty.
• All the burner parts have been positioned correctly.
• There are no draughts near the hob.
2. The burner does not stay lit
Check that:
• When lighting the burner, the knob has been pressed for enough time to activate the protection device.
• The burner openings are not clogged near the thermocouple.
• The end of the safety device is not dirty.
• The minimum gas setting is correct (see relevant paragraph).
3. The containers are not stable
Check that:
• The bottom of the container is perfectly flat
• The container is centered on the burner.
• The grids have not been exchanged or positioned incorrectly.
If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest After Sales Service.
CLEANING THE HOB SURFACE
• All the enamelled and glass parts should be cleaned with warm water and neutral solution.
• Stainless steel surfaces may be stained by calcareous water or aggressive detergents if left in contact for too long. Any
food spills (water, sauce, coffee, etc.) should be wiped away before they dry.
• Clean with warm water and neutral detergent, and then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Remove baked-on dirt with
specific cleaners for stainless steel surfaces.
NOTE: clean stainless steel only with soft cloth or sponge.
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners or pan scourers.

CLEANING THE HOB PARTS
• Clean glass and enamelled parts only with soft cloth or sponge.
• Grids, burner caps and burners can be removed to be cleaned.
• Clean them by hand with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, removing any food residues and checking that none
of the burner openings is clogged.
•Rinse and dry
• Refit burners and burner caps correctly in the respective housings.
• When replacing the grids, make sure that the panstand area is aligned with the burner.
• Models equipped with electrical ignition plugs and safety device require thorough cleaning of the plug end in order to
ensure correct operation. Check these items frequently, and if necessary, clean them with a damp cloth. Any baked-on
food should be removed with a toothpick or needle.
NOTE: to avoid damaging the electric ignition device, do not use it when the burners are not in their housing.

PRATICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS
IMPORTANT: WHEN THE HOB IS IN USE, THE ENTIRE HOB AREA MAY BECOME HOT.
• To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting.
• Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.
• After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5-10 seconds to allow proper device operation.
This burner safety device shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out accidentally (because of sudden
draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).
• The knob must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit,
wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
NOTE: should particular local conditions of the delivered gas make the ignition of burner difficult, it is advisable to repeat
the operation with the knob turned to small flame setting.
The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the safety device has not warmed up enough. In this
case, repeat the operations described above.
DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES TO BE MANTAINED (mm)
WOK ADAPTER (not included,this accessory can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service)

- Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.
- Make sure pots on the grates do not protrude beyond the edge of the hob
- In the case of pans with convex bottoms (WOK), use the support grille
provided, which should be positioned only on the 4 ring burner.
IMPORTANT: improper use of the grids can result in damage to the hob: do
not position the grids upside down or slide them across the hob.
Do not use:
- Cast iron griddles, ollar stones, terracotta pots and pans.
- Heat diffusers such as metal mesh, or any other types.
- Two burners simultaneously for one receptacle (e.g. fish kettle).
