1 The appliance is intended for non-professional use within
the home.
2 Before using your appliance, read the instructions in this
owner's manual carefully since you will find all the
instruction you require to ensure safe installation, use and
maintenance. Keep this manual as a reference guide.
3 Remove the packing and make sure the appliance hasn't
been damaged during transport. If you have any doubts, do
not use the appliance and immediately contact a qualified
technician for service. For safety, keep packing materials
(plastic bags, polystyrene foam, tacks, etc.) away from
children.
4 The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. No liability
for injury or damage to persons, animals or property will be
accepted by the manufacturer arising from failure to follow
these instructions.
5 The electrical safety of this appliance is ensured only if it is
correctly connected to an efficiently earthed system in
accordance with electrical safety regulations. Make sure this
basic safety requirement has been complied with. If in doubt,
have it checked by a qualified technician. No liability for
damage will be accepted by the manufacturer because of
defective earthing.
6 Before connecting the appliance, make sure the specifications
on the data plate correspond with those of your power supply.
7 Check that your supply and sockets are sufficient for the total
load taken by your appliance which is stated on the data
plate. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified technician
for service.
8 A multipole circuit breaker with a space between contacts of
3 mm or more must be fitted for installation
9 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the
socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified
technician. The latter, in particular, will also have to ensure
that the cross section of the socket cables are suitable for the
power absorbed by the appliance. The use of adapters, mul-
tiple sockets and/or extensions, is not recommended. If their
use cannot be avoided, remember to use only single or mul-
tiple adapters and extensions which comply with current
safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the maximum
current capacity indicated on the individual adaptor or
extension and the maximum power indicated on the multiple
adapter.
10 Do not leave the appliance plugged in if it is not in use. Switch
off the main switch and gas supply when you are not using
the cooker.
11 The openings and slots used for ventilation and dispersion
of heat must never be closed or plugged.
12 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appliance.
Always call an after-sales servicing centre authorised by the
manufacturer in the case of cable damage or replacement.
13 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was
expressly designed.
Any other use (for example: heating rooms) is considered to
be improper and consequently dangerous.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage
resulting from improper and irresponsible use.
14 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using
electrical appliances. The following are of par ticular
importance:
• do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are
wet.
• do not use the appliance barefooted.
• do not use extensions, but if these are necessary caution
must be exercised.
• never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to

15 Always unplug the hob from the mains or switch off the main
switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance
operations.
16 If the surface of the glass breaks, disconnect the appliance
immediately. For repairs call only an authorised after-sales
servicing centre and request the use of original spare parts
only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the
safety of the appliance.
17 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, remember
to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from
the mains and cutting the supply cable. Also make all
potentially dangerous parts of the appliance, safe, above all
for children who could play with the appliance.
18 The glass ceramic hob is resistant to temperature fluctuations
and shockproof. Remember however that sharp kitchen tools
or cutters may break the surface of the hob. If this happens,
unplug the cooker immediately from the mains and call your
local servicing centre.
19 Remember that the cooking surface remains hot for at least
half an hour after you switch off the surface. Do not place
containers or other objects on the hot surface.
20 Avoid setting anything on the glass surface of the cooktop.
21 Do not turn on the cooking surfaces if there are sheets of
aluminium foil or plastic on the hob.
22 Keep away from the hot surfaces.
23 When using small electrical household appliances close to
the hob, ensure that the power cable does not rest on the hot
surfaces.
24 Keep pot handles turned inwards to avoid knocking the pot
off the hob.
25 When you turn on the cooking surface always place a pot on
the surface immediately as it will otherwise overheat very
quickly and possibly damage the heating elements.
26 Warnings before using your hob for the first time. The glue
used to seal the glass surface could leave greasy streaks.
We advise you to remove these before using the appliance,
using an ordinary – non abrasive – detergent. You may detect
the smell of rubber upon first use; this will disappear quickly.
When switching on the oven for the first time, the thermal
insulation and the residues from the production phase may
produce smoke and unpleasant odours. To eliminate this
problem heat the empty oven at maximum temperature for
approx. 30 min.
27 Make sure the knobs are in the "•"/"o" position when the
appliance is not in use.
28 If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the same from sliding off the pedestal
itself.
29 During operation, the oven glass door and adjacent parts of
the appliance become hot. Therefore, make sure that children
do not touch the appliance.
30 The oven accessories that may come in contact with food are
made out of materials compliant with current regulations.
