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 putting a pan on the pan support.

Rapid, Semi rapid and Auxiliary burners

To light a burner:

push in the relevant control knob and turn it anticlockwise to maximum

position ().

Dual burner

The dual burner consist of two crowns that can be lighted simultaneously or separately.

To light the dual burner:

push in the relevant control knob and turn it counterclockwise to maximum

position () (Fig.1).

The flame will switch on immediately in both burner crowns.

Double crown

Internal crown

Fig. 1

To light just the internal crown push in the knob and turn it clockwise to maximum position () (Fig.1).

B - Burner crown

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

Then adjust the flame as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to off position, 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.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” are in the correct position.

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 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 accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.

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.

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 below).

Burner	minimum	maximum
	diameter	diameter
Dual burner	180 mm	280 mm
Large (rapid)	160 mm	260 mm
Medium
(right semi-rapid)	120 mm	180 mm
Medium
(left semi-rapid)	120 mm	220 mm
Small (auxiliary)	80 mm	180 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.
