Instruction for the User
Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective materials,
which were put on in the factory.
Hob burners control knobs
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
!
1. turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum po-
sition (
) and push down the knob to ignite.

2. After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down
for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple"
(Fig. 1, lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to
be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be

interrupted.
3. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
D
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1, lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the "off" position
(symbol
)).

taking the pans off the burner.
D- Thermocouple
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without
the electrical device; in this case approach the burner
with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-
clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.

Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
Burner minimum maximum
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
diameter diameter
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside and Fig. 2). It is also advisable, as soon as
Large (rapid) 160 mm 240 mm
a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm
barely keep the liquid simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or il,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a
fire, if over-heated.
Prolonged cooking with potstones,
earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is
inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil
to protect the top during use.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of
the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned
on the rings in order to obtain lower gas
consumption.

Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the
rings: they could tip over or spill their contents,
causing accidents.
