Care and Cleaning: HOB

GETTING STARTED:

 Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the appliance by a

qualified technician according to the accompanying Installation Instructions.
 Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you
know how and where to turn off power. Also, have the installer show you the
location of the gas supply.
 If you smell gas, do not use the Hob. Immediately turn off the gas supply at the
shut off valve, disconnect electrical power to the unit at the fuse or junction box
(if present) and contact the gas supplier or qualified appliance technician.
 Ensure that the Hob is used only by those individuals who are able to operate it
properly.
 Use the Hob only for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

 Always check the positions of the control knobs to make sure the appliance is off
when you are finished cooking.
 Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply by closing the gas shut-off
valve and turning off the electrical power supply.
 Always clean the Hob cautiously. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the
Hob has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners can
produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if applied to hot surfaces.
 Using a gas cooking appliance results in the generation of heat and humidity in
the location where it is installed. Please ensure that your kitchen has proper
ventilation: keep natural ventilation orifices open or install a mechanical device
(mechanical ventilation hood).
 Never use the Hob surface as a cutting board.
 Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal
spatula, as they can harm the finish.
 Check periodically the state of conversation of the flexible gas feed pipe. In case
of leakage, call immediately a qualified technician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

 After installation, please make sure that the knobs are in OFF position. Put a
battery of 1.5 V in the battery box under the hob.
 To light a particular burner, press down on the corresponding control knob, then
immediately rotate the knob counterclockwise from the “OFF” position to the
“HI/LITE” position. Once the burner is lit, reduce the flame height if desired by
rotating the control knob further counterclockwise, then place the utensil on the
grate.

Hob with auto choke safety device:

 Press the knob and rotate it by 90 degrees anti-clockwise. Press it for 5 to 10

seconds and wait for the flame. Before leaving the knob, Make sure that the
flame is fine.

NOTE:
The auto choke safety device is only for flameout by water, wind or any spillover. The
device can’t protect leakage due to any other reason. If the gas does not ignite within
ten seconds, turn off the valve. Allow at least two minutes for any gas to dissipate, then
repeat the lighting procedure.

CLEANING TIPS

Read and follow the Care and Cleaning instructions to ensure proper Hob operation and
appearance throughout the lifetime of the product.

 More frequent cleaning is required if the Hob is used often for frying or other
high temperature operations.
 Clean the Hob thoroughly prior to operating it the first time. For initial and
everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge lightly dampened with a solution of
warm water and hand dishwashing liquid to clean all components.
 Before cleaning the Hob, ensure that all burners are turned off and that all
components are cool enough to safely touch.
 Clean electrical parts with a dry cloth.
 Always dry components completely before using the Hob.

SAFETY WARNINGS:

 In the event that a burner flame goes out and gas escapes, open a window or
door. Wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to use the Hob.
 Select utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular
type of cooking being done. Select utensils that are large enough to contain food
without boil overs or spillovers. Choose pans with easily grasped handles that
will stay cool while cooking.
 Do not use the Hob for warming or heating the room.
 If the Hob is near a window, do not use long curtains as a window treatment.
They can blow over the Hob and create a fire hazard.

utensils. Decorative covers should not be used.
 Do not store CLEANING products or FLAMMABLE products (aerosol cans or
containers under pressure, as well as papers, cookbooks, etc.) in the cabinet
underneath your cooking hob.
 If you use a drawer located under the hob, we recommend that you avoid
storing in it items that are heat sensitive (plastic, papers, aerosol cans, etc.).
 When you connect the power cables of any electrical appliances plugged in close
to the hob, ensure that they are not in contact with the cooking zones.
 These cooking hobs are meant to be used exclusively for cooking beverages and
foodstuffs.
 Your hob should be disconnected from power and fuel supplies (electricity and
