WARNING:
If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and fat,
which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended. If the appliance is equipped with
a glass cover, the cover may break when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the cover. Do not use
sprays near the appliance when it is being used. When using the burners, make sure that the handles of the pots
are correctly positioned. Keep children away from the appliance. If equipped with a cover, before being closed,
any food deposits should be cleaned off the built-in surface.
NOTE:
The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
Therefore, proper aeration in the room is needed while ensuring that natural ventilation openings remain
unobstructed (Fig.3) and activating the mechanical aeration device/exhaust hood or electric fan (Fig. 4 and Fig.
5). Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional aeration, for example by opening a
window, or more efficient aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical exhauster, if installed.
USE OF THE ELECTRIC PLATES
The plates are controlled by a switch with 6 positions (Fig. 24A-24B ).
Fig. 24A Fig. 24B
The plates can be utilised by rotating the knob onto the desired position. On the front of the appliance there is a design
showing which plate the knob refers to. The use of the plate is shown by the indicator light which is also found on the
front panel of the appliance
.
How to use an electric plate?
When you use the plate for the first time or after a long period over which the plate has not been used, you are advised
to use the plate on position 1 for about 30 minutes in order to eliminate any humidity absorbed by the isolating material
inside. As an indication we give a table with the necessary rules to follow for the best use of the electric plates.
WARNING:
When using the plate for the first time or after a long period over which the plate has not been
used, in order to eliminate any humidity absorbed by the isolating material it is necessary to use the plate for
about 30 minutes on position 1 of the switch.
