Dear Customer,

We thank and congratulate you on your choice.

This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every need, achieving perfect cooking.

Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This manual contains important information, not only for use of the appliance, but safety and maintenance as well.

During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us, you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you. Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container and dispose of it at a collection point. If this is not possible, dispose of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will appreciate it.

Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility. Your local government can provide you with the necessary information on the nearest collection facility.

Important information for installation and usage

1 - For safety reasons, do not allow the flames to extend beyond the edge of the cooking appliance.

2 - Remember that the appliance heats up when in use. Remember to use common sense.The absence of a flame does not mean that the appliance parts are no longer hot.

3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should not be used for room heating purposes.

4 - Make sure the power supply is disconnected before dismantling the appliance.

5 - Do not store combustible materials, such as gasoline, other vapors and inflammable liquids near the appliance.

6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation air flow.

???If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

???If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly light, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See Warning, page. 3.

7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm (30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets installed in the upper part.

8 - The gas pressure regulator supplied with the appliance must be installed in the gas piping line.

9 - The appliance and its individual shutoff val- ve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).

10 - Important:When using an especially large pan, leave a minimum space of 50 mm (2") to prevent damage to countertops of

wooden, plastic or other non-heat resistant materials. Never leave hot oil or grease unattended.

11 - Make the caution about leaving oil or grease unattended.

???Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

???Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

???Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Check the condition of the appliance before installing it, to ensure that it has suffered no damage during transport.

Only authorized technical personnel must install and connect the appliance before

its first start-up in compliance with the regulations of the gas supplier companies and local.

Turn the control dials to before connecting the appliance to the current supply.

The appliance's serial number is indicated on the control slip annexed to this manual. For warranty purposes, keep this note together with the usage and assembly instructions.

Carefully read the assembly and usage instructions before starting up the appliance.

Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories when using them for the first time. This will eliminate any "new" scents and any remaining dirtiness (see cleaning and care chapter).

For appliance usage

The use of this gas burning appliance produces a formation of heat and humidity in the area of use. Make sure that the area has proper ventilation conditions.

Keep the ventilation channels open. Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window or a door or more intensive extraction of air with an extraction hood.

To guarantee good combustion, the room in which the appliance is installed must have a minimum volume of 1240 cft (35 m3) and must possess a door that opens outdoors or a window that can opened.

The use of spit-roasters, pans or grilling stones simultaneously by more than one burner is prohibited, as the accumulation of heat could damage the appliance.

If large pots are used, a minimum separation of approximately 50 mm (2") should be kept between the pot and peripheral inflammable materials. A minimum separation of some 50 mm (2") should be kept between the control dial or control panel and the pot or pan. The cooking pot must not touch

the control panel.

If pots or pans are removed temporarily, set the stovetop to the minimum setting. This will reduce the risk of suffering burns while working near open flames; in addition to saving gas, thus favoring the environment.

If there is a fault in the current supply, do not use the appliance.

If the appliance does not work properly, contact the technical service.

If your cooktop is not fitted with this automatic lighting

feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner.

Your cooktop may be equipped with safety thermocouples

to prevent gas flow if the burners are accidentally extinguished. Figure 2.

To turn on and activate this innovative system, proceed in the same way, but keeping the control knob pressed down until ignition takes place, the flame appears and does not extinguish.

If ignition does not take place, repeat the procedure, keeping the control knob pressed down 1-5 seconds.

To turn it off, turn the control knob to the right to the correct position . When carrying out this procedure, the ignition system may activate again. This is completely normal.

Your modern, functional cooktop has progressive gas valves that make it possible to adjust to the necessary setting between the maximum and minimum flames.

The large double flame burner is very practical and convenient for cooking with "paella" pans, Chinese woks (all sorts of Asian dishes), etc.

If your cooktop is equipped with a large double flame burner, it will have a valve facilitating independent control of the interior and exterior flame. This revolutionary system makes it possible to select from a wide array of power settings. Working description Fig. 3.

The use of the appliance produces heat and humidity in the site where it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen has good ventilation. Keep ventilation channels open or install a mechanical ventilation system (extraction hood).

Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window (without causing air currents) or increasing the power of mechanical ventilation if it exists.

Cooking recommendations

Semi-rapid Steamed potatoes, fresh vegetables and pasta.

Auxiliary Cooking: casseroles, rice pudding and caramel.

Reheating and keeping food warm: pre-cooked meals, preparing delicate casseroles.

Appropriate cooking utensils

Match Pan Diameter to Flame Size

- The flame should be the same size the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan.

Use Balanced Pans

-Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking.

-Center pan over burner.

Use a lid That Fits Properly

- A well-fitting lid shorten the cooking time.

12

Cooking warnings

NO YES

Do not use small pots on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pot.

Do not cook without a lid, or if the lid moves, as this causes a partial energy loss.

Do not use pots with irregular bottoms as they lengthen cooking time and increase energy consumption.

Do not place the pot off-center over the burner, as tipping could result.

Do not use large-diameter pots on the burners near

the control knobs, which, once centered over the burner, could touch the knobs or be close enough to them that the temperature of that area in- creases, possibly causing damage.

Never place pots

directly on top of the burners.

Do not use excessive weights or strike the cooktop with heavy objects.

Never use two burners or heat sources to heat a single pot.

Avoid using roasting grilles, earthen pots, etc. for extended periods at maximum power.

Always use appropriate pots for each burner.

This will prevent excessive consumption of gas and staining of the pots.

Always use the lid.

Use only pots, pans and casseroles with flat, thick bottoms.

Center the pot over the burner.

Place the pot over the grate.

Make sure that the grates and burner covers

are in the correct positions before using the appliance.

Handle pots carefully when they are on the cooktop.

13

Advice on using the appliance

DO NOT

Do not use washing powder, oven-cleaning sprays or scourers that might scratch the glass.

Never use sharp objects such as metal scourers or knives to remove the hardened remains of food from the surface.

Never use a knife, scraper or similar device to clean the area where the glass meets the trim of the burners or the decorative metal frame.

Do not slide pans over the glass because they could scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the cooking hob.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and vegetables will scratch the glass surface.

DO

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they are cold. If any bits

are left (overcooked food,

drops of grease etc.), however few they will become

stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later.

To keep the burners and pan supports clean, you must clean them periodically by placing them in soapy weather and brushing and with a non- metallic brush to ensure that the holes and grooves are perfectly clean, and can provide a perfect flame. Always dry the burner covers and the pan supports if they have become wet.

Use a glass scraper, and always lay it flat to the glass, taking special care not to get it too near to the trim on the gas burners.

After finishing cleaning, dry all the burner parts together w ith their casing. T he ring and the burner cap must be inserted

w hen placing them on the burner casing.

M oisture and the incorrect positioning of the respective burner parts w ill affect the uniformity of the flame

generated.

Melted sugar and spilt foods that have a high sugar content should immediately be removed from the hotplate using the glass scraper. After washing the pan supports, dry them well before using them to cook again - if there are still any drops of water or damp patches left when you start cooking, they could damage the enamel.

When cleaning the pan supports, be careful with the pegs, as they could come loose and scratch the glass or the frame the next time you use the pan support.

Informations importantes pour l'installation et l'utilisation

1 - Ne permettez pas que des flammes d??passent le bord de l'ustensile de cuisine.

Cette instruction est fond??e sur des consid??rations de s??curit??.

2 - N'oubliez pas que l'appareil chauffe lorsqu'il est en fonctionnement. Le sens commun est important. L'extinction des flammes ne signifie par que les pi??ces ne sont plus chaudes.

3 - Pour des raisons de s??curit??, cet appareil ne doit pas ??tre destin?? ?? chauffer une pi??ce.

4 - Assurez-vous de d??connecter l'alimentation ??lectrique avant de d??monter l'appareil.

5 - Maintenez la zone de l'appareil propre et libre de mati??res combustibles, par exemple essence, autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables.

6 - N'obstruez pas le flux d'air de combustion et de ventilation.

???Si un br??leur s'??teint et que du gaz s'??chappe, ouvrir les portes et les fen??tres. Attendre que le gaz dissipe avant d'utiliser la cuisini??re.

???S'il y a une odeur de gaz, l'installateur n'a pas bien v??rifi?? les fuites a gaz. Si les joints ne sont pas parfaitement ??tanches, il peut y avo- ir une petite fuite de gaz, et de l??, une l??g??re odeur. Trouver une fuite de gaz n'est pas une proc??dure ?? faire soi-m??me. Certaines fuites ne peuvent ??tre trouv??es qu en pla??ant le con- tr??le du br??leur en position ON et ceci doit ??tre accompli par un technicien en entretien et r??paration qualifi??. Voir Avertissement, page 24.

7 - Il faut conserver une distance minimum de 762 mm (30???) entre la table de cuisson ?? gaz et les armoires plac??es sur la partie sup??rieure.

8 - Le r??gulateur de pression de gaz fourni avec l'appareil doit ??tre install?? sur la ligne des tuyaux de gaz.

9 - L'appareil et sa soupape d'arr??t individuelle doivent ??tre d??connect??s du circuit d'alimentation en gaz pendant la r??alisation

d'un test de mise en pression du syst??me ?? des pressions d'essai exc??dant

3,5 kPa (1/2 psig).

L'appareil doit ??tre isol?? du circuit d'alimentation en gaz par fermeture de son robinet d'arr??t manuel individuel pendant la r??alisation d'un test de pression du circuit

d'alimentation de gaz ?? des pressions d'essai ??quivalentes ou inf??rieures ?? 3,5 kPa(1/2 psig)

10 - Important : quand un r??cipient tr??s grand est utilis??, laissez un espace minimum de 50 mm (2???) pour ??viter d'endommager la surface du plan de travail de la table de cuisson en bois, plastique ou dans d'autres mat??riaux ne r??sistant pas ?? la chaleur. Surveillez en permanence l'huile ou la graisse chaude.

11 - Veiller ?? ne pas laisser de l'huile ou de la graisse sans surveillance.

??? Toujours allumer la hotte lorsque vous cuisi- nez ?? temp??rature ??lev??e ou que vous faites flamber de la nourriture (p.ex. des cr??pes Suzette, des cerises jubil??es, du boeuf au poivre flamb??).

??? Utiliser une temp??rature ??lev??e sur la plaque de cuisson seulement lorsque n??cessaire. Afin d'??viter les d??bordements et les ??claboussures, chauffer l'huile lentement ?? feu pas plus ??lev?? que moyen. L' huile chaude peut causer des br??lures et des blessures graves.

??? Ne jamais d??placer une casserole d'huile chaude, surtout une friteuse. Attendre qu'elle soit refroidie.

28

12 - Ne pas nettoyer la cuisini??re alors qu'elle est encore chaude. Certains produits

nettoyants produisent des vapeurs nocives lorsqu'ils sont appliqu??s sur une surface chaude. Les linges ou ??ponges mouill??s peuvent causer des br??lures par la vapeur.

Apr??s un renversement ou un d??bordement, ??teindre le br??leur et laisser refroidir la plaque de cuisson. Nettoyer autour du br??- leur et des orifices de combustion. Apr??s le nettoyage, v??rifier le bon fonctionnement.

Utiliser une dimension appropri??e de casserole. L'utilisation d 'un ustensile de cuisson trop petit expose une partie de

l '??l??ment chauffant ou du br??leur au contact direct et l'ignition des v??tements peut en r??sulter. Choisir un ustensile de cuisson au fond plat et assez grand pour couvir la surface de l'el??ment chauffant. Cette cuisi- ni??re est munie d '??l??ments chauffants de diff??rentes dimensions. Adapter la dimen- sion de l'ustensile de cuisson ?? la dimension de l'??l??ment chauffant ou du br??leur aug- mentera auss l'efficacit??.

13- Pour ??viter de mettre en danger la s??curit?? ??lectrique de l'appareil, il est interdit d'utiliser des appareils de nettoyage ?? jet vapeur de haute pression.

La plaque signal??tique se trouve sur la partie inf??rieure de l'appareil.

Cet appareil ne peut ??tre utilis?? dans des armoires mobiles, des v??hicules de loisirs ou des mobil-home.
