Operating instructions

Cooktop
control knobs

The knobs for the gas rings are located on the front part
of the top. The symbols on the knobs have the following
meaning:

• no gas

max. gas

min. gas

Lighting the rings

To obtain the flame more easily, light the
ring before placing a recipient on the grate.

Press the knob corresponding to the ring and
turn it anticlockwise to the “max” symbol.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed

for about 5 seconds; this time is necessary for
heating the “thermocouple” (Fig. 1, C) and de­activating the safety valve, which would oth­erwise stop the delivery of gas.
Then, make sure the flame is even and turn
the knob to the required setting.
In case of a power failure, bring a flame to
the burner and proceed as already described.
If the flame does not light after several at­tempts, make sure the burner “cap” (fig.1, A) is
in the correct position.
To turn off the flame, turn the knob clockwise

to the symbol •.

Always lower the flame or turn it off before
removing recipients from the rings.

Watch over your food during cooking with
fats or oils, because these substances can
catch fire when very hot.

Prolonged cooking with potstones,
earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is
inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil
to protect the top during use.

For correct use of the rings

To ensure lower gas consumption and better efficiency,
only use flat bottom recipients of suitable size for the
rings, as given in the table at the foot of the page.
Also, as soon as a liquid starts to boil, lower the flame
enough to keep it on the boil.

Triple crown 160 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semirapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any operation, disconnect
the appliance from the power supply and
allow it to cool.

General cleaning

Clean the enamelled parts with lukewarm water and
detergent; do not use abrasive products which could
damage them. Clean the flame spreader and caps
frequently with boiling water and detergent, making sure
to remove all deposits.
The worktop grates can be placed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn stains, use normal non-abrasive
detergents or specific products, readily available on the
market.
DO NOT use scouring pads, steel wool or acids.

Automatic ring lighting is ensured by the
presence of a ceramic igniter plug and a
metal electrode (Fig. 1, B). Carefully clean
these parts of the top periodically. Also, to
prevent difficulty in lighting, make sure the
burner cap holes are not clogged.
To remove deposits from the burner cap holes
(auxiliary and semirapid), remove the two fix­ing screws at the bottom of the cap and sepa­rate the two parts (Fig. 3). After cleaning, reas­semble the two parts and refit them correctly
on the burner.

After washing, refit the top grates, making sure they
are correctly positioned.
