To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or lighter near the burner, press the knob all the
way in and turn in the counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting.
On those models fitted with a safety device (F), the knob must be pressed in for about 6 seconds
until the device that keeps the flame lighted warms up.
On those models fitted with an ignitor (D), the "E" ignition button, identified by the symbol,
must first be pressed and then the corresponding knob pushed all the way in and turned in the
counter-clockwise direction to the "High" setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition switch incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the
ignitor (D) is present, but not the "E" switch (the symbol is located near each knob).
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and, then, turn it in the
counter-clockwise direction to the High setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.
Caution: If the burner accidently goes out, turn off the gas with the control knob and try to light it again
after waiting at least 1 minute.
To turn off a burner, turn the knob in the clockwise direction until it stops (it should be on the "." setting).
How to Keep Your Cooktop in Shape
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power
supply.
To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely indispensable that it be cleaned
carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the following:
●The enameled parts and the glass top, if present, must be washed with warm water without using
abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;
●The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making
sure to remove caked-on substances;
●On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully
and frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not clogged;
●Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive
detergents (containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time, it is recommended that these parts
be rinsed thoroughly with water and then dried well, It is also a good idea to clean up any spills;
●Before using the ceramic glass module, the surface must be cleaned, using a damp cloth to remove dust
or food residues. The ceramic glass surface should be cleaned regularly with a solution of warm water and
a non-abrasive detergent, periodically, special products will need to be used to clean the surface. First,
remove all food buildup or grease with a cleaning scraper, e.g.
CERA (not supplied) (Fig. 1).
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a suitable cleaning product and paper towels. Then
rub with a damp cloth and dry. Aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or
foods with a high sugar content that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediately with a
scraper while the cooking surface is still hot. Special cleaning products for ceramic glass surfaces form a
transparent protective layer which fights dirty buildup. This also protects the surface from damage caused
by food with a high sugar content. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products under any
circumstances. This holds true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers
(Fig.2);
