Important
1 This appliance is intended for nonprofessional use within the
home.
2 These instructions are only for those countries whose sym-
bols appear in the booklet and on the serial no. plate of the
appliance.
3 This owner’s manual is for a class 1 appliance (installed
independently) or class 2, subclass 1 appliances (in-
stalled between two cabinets).
4 Before using your appliance, read the instructions in this
owner’s manual carefully since it provides all the information
you need to ensure safe installation, use and maintenance.
Always keep this owner’s manual close to hand since you
may need to refer to it in the future.
5 When you have removed the packing, check that the appli-
ance is not damaged. If you have any doubts, do not use the
appliance and contact your nearest Ariston Service Centre.
Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, polysty-
rene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children since they
are a source of potential danger.
6 The appliance must be installed only by a qualified techni-
cian in compliance with the instructions provided. The manu-
facturer declines all liability for improper installation, which
may result in personal injury and damage to property.
7 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaran-
teed if it is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance
with regulations on electrical safety. Always ensure that the
earthing is efficient. If you have any doubts, contact a quali-
fied technician to check the system. The manufacturer de-
clines all liability for damage resulting from a system which
has not been earthed.
8 Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that the
specifications indicated on the date plate (on the appliance
and/or packaging) correspond with those of the electrical
and gas systems in your home.
9 Check that the electrical capacity of the system and sockets
will support the maximum power of the appliance, as indi-
cated on the data plate. If you have any doubts, contact a
qualified technician.
10 An omnipolar switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm
or more is required for installation.
11 If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the
socket replaced with a suitable model by a qualified techni-
cian, who should also check that the cross-section of the
socket cable is sufficient for the power absorbed by the ap-
pliance. The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and/or exten-
sions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be avoided,
remember to use only single or multiple adapters and exten-
sions which comply with current safety regulations. In these
cases, never exceed the maximum current capacity indi-
cated on the individual adaptor or extension and the maxi-
mum power indicated on the multiple adapter.
12 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 appliance.
13 The openings and slots used for ventilation and heat disper-
sion must never be covered.
14 The user must not replace the supply cable of this appliance.
Always contact an after-sales service centre which has been
authorised by the manufacturer if the cable has been dam-
aged or needs replacement.
15 This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was
expressly designed. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) is
considered to be improper and consequently dangerous. The
manufacturer declines all liability for damage resulting from
improper and irresponsible use.
16 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when us-
ing electrical appliances. The following are of particular im-
portance:
•
Do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are
wet
•
Do not use the appliance barefooted.
•
Do not use extensions, but if they are necessary, caution
must be exercised.
•
Never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to
unplug the appliance plug from the mains.
•
Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents
(rain, sun etc.).
•
Do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with
the appliance to use it, without supervision.
17 Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the
main switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
18 In the case of problems and/or faulty operation, switch off the
appliance, close the gas cock and do not tamper with the
appliance. For repairs, contact only authorised after-sales
service centres and request the use of original spare parts
only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the
safety of the appliance.
19 If you are no longer using an appliance of this type, remem-
ber 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.
20 To avoid accidental spillage do not use cookware with un-
even or deformed bottoms on the burners. Turn the handles
of pots and pans inwards to avoid knocking them over acci-
dentally.
21 Some parts of the appliance remain heated for a long time
after use. Make sure not to touch them.
22 Never use flammable liquids such as alcohol or gasoline,
etc. near the appliance when it is in use.
23 When using small electric appliances near the hob, keep the
supply cord away from the hot parts.
24 Make sure the knobs are in the “•”/”o” position when the ap-
pliance is not in use.
25 Remember to keep children away from the appliance
when you use the grill or oven, since these parts be-
come very hot.
26 Gas appliances require regular air exchange to ensure
trouble-free performance. When installing the cooker,
follow the instructions provided in the paragraph on
“Positioning” the appliance.
27 Some of the models have a glass hob cover. This could crack
if overheated so make sure all the burners or electric hot
plates are off before closing it.
To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend:
•
call only the Service Centers authorized by the manufacturer
•
always use original Spare Parts
