VALVELESS ELECTRIC SPARK-LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

Models fitted with electric spark lighter button

On these cooker tops, to light one of the burners you have to push in and turn the rela­tive knob to the maximum aperture position (large flame symbol) and press the electric
lighter button (fig. 2.2) until the flame has been lit.

Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

Models fitted with electric lighter incorporated into the burner knobs

★ symbol beside the symbol (max. heat/max. gas flow) (fig. 2.1b).
To light one of the gas burners, push in and turn the relative knob to the maximum

aperture position (large flame symbol) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in
maximum aperture position, try again with the knob in minimum position.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE

In order to light the burner, you must:

1 – Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture, push in

and hold the knob;
In models with the gas lighter incorporated in the knob, this will light the gas. If

there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – For models with push-button lighting only: push the gas-lighter button.
3 – Wait about ten seconds after the gaslights before releasing the knob (starting time

for the valve).
4 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed

● position and repeat the opera-

tions for lighting.

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in figs. 2.1a - 2.1b)
which control the safety valves.
Tur ning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel
achieves the following functions:

✓ full circle

● = closed valve

✓ symbol = maximum aperture or flow
✓ symbol = minimum aperture or flow

To light one of the gas burners, hold a flame (e.g. a match) close to the top part of the
burner, push in and turn the relative knob in an anti-clockwise direction, pointing the
knob indicator towards the large flame symbol (i.e. max. gas flow).

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the small flame symbol.

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of
liquids.

Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between
the maximum aperture and closed positions.

N.B. When the cooker top is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed posi­tions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

GRATE FOR SMALL PANS (optional) - (See fig. 2.5)

This grate is to be placed on top of the (smaller) semirapid burner when using small
diameter pans, in order to prevent them from tipping over.

CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.4)

The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capa­city of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating poten­tial of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about
a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that
boiling conditions are reached quicker.

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED

ON THE HOBS

BURNERS MINIMUM MAX.

Semirapid 12 cm 22 cm

Rapid 22 cm 26 cm

Triple ring 24 cm 28 cm

Maximum diameter for woks: 36 cm.

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

Fig. 2.4

SPECIAL WOK GRILLE (optional) (fig. 2.6 e 2.7).

This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the largest burner.

Warning:

✓ Using woks without this special grille may cause the burner to malfunction.
✓ Do not use the grille for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.

NORMAL HOTPLATE

To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate the knob (fig. 3.1 - 3.2) o the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 or 1 to 12 indicate the operating positions with increasing
number corresponding to higher temperature settings.
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the heat down to the level desired.

Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for about five minutes after
it has been turned off.

RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)

The rapid hotplate control knob is similar to that of the normal hotplate, with 6 or 12
selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1 - 3.2).

The characteristics of this hotplate, which is also equipped with a thermostatic cut-off
device, make it possible to:

– achieve the cooking temperature rapidly
– make full use of its output power using flat-bottomed pans
– limit the output power with unsuitable saucepans.

PROPER USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE (fig. 3.3)

When the pan comes to the boil, turn the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for about five minutes after

it has been turned off.
While using the electric hotplate, you must:
