IGNITION
- The appliance is ready for operation. Check the gas inlet is open. Shut off the appliance's gas inlet
immediately if you smell a gas odour. If the odour persists, check the connection (see figure 2 page 43),
the pressure tap screw (see figure 2 page 43) and contact your approved gas equipment installer.
For the first ignition after installation, push the lever, set it to the high flame position and depress it for 5
-
seconds to bleed the air from the gas pipe to the burner. Then release the lever.
Open the valve by turning the lever on the left until it is in the high flame position (drawing shown on the
-
lever).
Activate the spark ignition and then push the lever in this position to obtain full burner ignition.
-
Maintain pressure on the lever for between 5 and 10 seconds to engage the thermocouple safety system.
-
Then release the lever and allow the burner to heat the cooking plate to the appropriate temperature.
-
Your appliance is now ready to be used.

COMMENTS
The first time it is used, you may see some smoke and smell some odours coming from the appliance. This is
normal.
Featuring an "Automatic control system", this gas plancha allows precision
cooking and optimum responsiveness to temperature variations. Its design
guarantees homogenous heat distribution over the entire surface as well as
a 30% reduction in energy consumption.
The appliance features a thermostat allowing the cooking temperature to
be controlled. During preheating, the burners emit high flames until the set temperature is reached. Once the set
temperature is reached, the flames are regulated automatically to maintain an identical level of temperature
(variation from high to low flame, and vice versa). Therefore the plancha maintains this temperature by itself
throughout the cooking process.
COOKING
With its two separate heating zones, this plancha allows two different types of food to be cooked simultaneously,
e.g. meat or fish on one side, vegetables on the other.
Preheat the plancha to the cooking temperature you require.
If necessary, apply oil evenly using a brush.
Place the food on the plate.
With practice you will get to know the temperatures that are best suited to the products to cook, according to
their thickness, texture and your taste. The times indicated below are for information only.
