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

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 

)

).

• Always turn the flame down or put it out before

taking the pans off the burner.

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

bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame

will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the

table beside and Fig. 2).  It is also advisable, as soon as

a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will

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.
