INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

USING THE BURNERS

The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the
knob indicate the correspondence between the knob
and the burner.

Start-up without valves

Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press start­up button P (fig. 1).

Automatic start-up with valves

Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the
knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob
pressed for about 6 seconds.

Using the burners

In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of
gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is
suitable for the burner potential (see the following
table), so as to avoid that the flame goes out of the pot
bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids
reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced
capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the
operating positions must be chosen between the
maximum and the minimum ones, never between the
minimum position and the closing point.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob
clockwise up to the closing position.
If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the
burners with matches, setting the knob to the start-up
point (large flame, fig. 1).

Notice

- When the equipment is not working, always check
that the knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1).

- If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety
valve will automatically stop the gas supply, after a
few seconds. To restore operation, set the knob to

the lighting point (large flame, fig. 1) and press.

- While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention
as these substances can catch fire when
overheated.

- Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation.

- Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the
burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or
overflowing.

- Make sure that pot handles are placed properly.

- When the burner is started up, check that the flame
is regular and, before taking pots away, always lower
the flame or put it out.

CLEANING

Before any operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electric grid.
It is advisable to clean the appliance when it is cold.

Enamelled parts

The enamelled parts must be washed with a sponge
and soapy water or with a light detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products.
Do not leave substances, such as lemon or tomato
juice, salt water, vinegar, coffee and milk on the
enamelled surfaces for a long time.

Stainless steel parts

Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
with highly calcareous water or aggressive
detergents for an extended period of time.
The stainless steel parts should also be cleaned with
soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth.

Burners and racks

These parts can be removed to make cleaning easier.
The burners must be washed with a sponge and
soapy water or with a light detergent, wiped well and
placed in their housing perfectly. Make sure that the
flame-dividing ducts are not clogged.
Check that the feeler of the safety valve and the start­up electrode are always perfectly cleaned, so as to
ensure an optimum operation.
The racks can be washed in the dishwasher.

Gas taps

The possible lubrication of the taps must be carried out
by specialized personnel, exclusively.

In case of hardening or malfunctions in the gas
taps, apply to the Customer Service.
