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, push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position". After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. C) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

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) is in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .

•Always turn the flame down or put it out before taking the pans off the burner.

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.

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.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,sincethesetypesoffoodstuffcanresult in a fire, if over-heated.
