should accidentally go out.

Caution:

– If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least 1 minute

– Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed. Ensure that the

cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or by installing an extractor

hood connected to an outlet duct.

– If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation by opening a

window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood (if fitted).

How to Use the Hob

Gas Burners

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig.2) which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the
following functions:

– Symbol ● : Tap closed (burner off)

– 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.
– To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator

towards the small flame symbol.
– 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.

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

Choice of Burner

The symbols printed on the panel by the side of the knob indicate which burner you are controlling.
Choose a suitable burner depending on the cookware diameter and capacity.
The pan diameter should be suitable for the burner power to make the most of the burner's high efficiency
and not waste fuel.
A small pan does not boil more quickly on a large burner (fig. 4).
