  • Page 6: Before Installation

    For further information, see point "7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE". When the electric plates or barbecue (when fitted) are used for the first time, they should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process, which might...
  • Page 7: Using The Hob

    A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in point "6.3 Pan diameters".
  • Page 8 For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with flat, even bottoms with lid and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see point "6.3 Pan diameters").
  • Page 9 Instructions for the User 6.4.1 Recommended cooking tables The table below shows the power values which can be set, with the relative type of food alongside. The values may vary depending on the amount of food and personal taste. Knob setting Recommended cooking operation Melting butter, chocolate, etc.

Take care that food is completely submerged in the oil. 6.6.1 Practical advice for succesful frying The oil level in the well must always be between 3 litres (minimum level marked inside the well) and 3.5 litres (maximum level marked inside the...
  • Page 12 The ideal frying temperature is between 160° C adn 185° C. At higher or lower values, the oil deteriorates very quickly. If the temperature is too low, the food's surface is not sealed by the heat and it becomes greasy.
  • Page 13: Cleaning And Maintenance

    When cleaning and caring for stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Instructions for use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe over the surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather.
  • Page 14 Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces the use of chemicals for daily cleaning of the hob. In any case, abrasive or corrosive cleaners (e.g. powder products, oven-cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring pads) must never be used.
  • Page 15 BEFORE DOING THIS, ALLOW THE TANK AND THE OIL IT CONTAINS TO COOL. KEEP CHILDREN AT A SAFE DISTANCE. After all the frying oil has been disposed of appropriately, the tank and the basket can both be washed in a dishwasher.

    Before installing it, check that the local gas supply conditions (gas type and pressure) are compatible with the appliance's settings. The connection to the gas mains may be made using a copper pipe or a continuous-wall steel hose in accordance with the standard regulations in force.
  • Page 22 Room ventilation The appliance may only be installed in a permanently ventilated room as specified by the relevant regulations. The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must be sufficient for proper gas combustion and room ventilation. The air intakes, protected by gratings, must be of suitable size (see relevant regulations) and located so that they cannot be even partially obstructed.
  • Page 23: Adapting To Different Types Of Gas

    The appliance is tested with G20 (2H) natural gas at the pressure of 20 mbar. If it is to be used with other types of gas, the burner nozzles have to be changed and the gas tap adjusted to set the minimum flame. To replace the nozzles, proceed as described below.
