Operation
Hob burners control knobs
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			Triple Crown Burner
putting a pan on the pan support.				A
To light a burner:				B
push in the relevant control knob and turn
it anticlockwise to maximum position (		),
to ignite the burner.
Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed				D
down about 5 seconds. This will allow
the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter D) to be			C
heated and the safety device to be			A - Burner cap	Fig. 1
switched off, otherwise the gas supply
would be interrupted.			B - Burner crown
Then adjust the flame as required.			C - Ignition electrode
			D - Thermocouple
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the
symbol “	”.

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.

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the “off” position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

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.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

Burner	minimum	maximum
	diameter	diameter
Triple crown	180 mm	260 mm
Large (rapid)	180 mm	260 mm
Medium (semi-rapid)
rear	120 mm	220 mm
front	120 mm	180 mm
Small (auxiliary)	80 mm	160 mm

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.

The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore 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.

Pots must not enter the control zone.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

-household detergent and bleaches;

-impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended:

- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the cooktop.

YES

Pan Supports

The pan supports are not dishwasher proof; they must be washed by hand.

You should wash pan supports with hot soapy water, and, if necessary, remove stubborn stains using a delicate paste cleaner.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth. Take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges.
