INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force.
The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the
installer.

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 the knob.

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 start­up point (large flame, fig.1/1A).

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.
