How to use the hob burners

Hob burners

Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap operated by a control knob (fig. 5) which has 3 positions marked on the control panel, these are:

– Symbol	: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol	: High (maximum)
– Symbol	: Low (minimum)

Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the

Fig. 5

selected position.

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, not between the maximum aperture and closed positions.

N.B. When the hob 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.

Lighting of the hob burners

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

1 – Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position marked by the symbol (fig. 5) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.

In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting time for the valve).

3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.

Important

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, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

Choice of burner

The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.

	Burners	Pan diameter
	Auxiliary	12 ÷ 14 cm
	Semi-rapid	16 ÷ 24 cm
	Rapid	24 ÷ 26 cm
	Triple-ring	26 ÷ 28 cm
	Wok	max 36 cm		Fig. 6
	do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Saucepans with handles that are excessively heavy in relation to the weight of the pan are less safe as they are more likely to tip.

Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.

It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally knocked.

When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.

DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire.

Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

8

Correct use of triple-ring burner

The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.

To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand in order to avoid any faulty operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 7 - 8).

IMPORTANT:

The special grille for wok pans (fig. 8) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triple-ring burner.

How to use the gas oven

Lighting the oven gas burner

The thermostat allows the automatic control of the temperature.

The gas delivery to the oven burner is controlled by a two way thermostatic tap (oven and grill burners) with flame-failure device.

To light the oven burner operate as follow:

1)Open the oven door.

2)Lightly press and turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise to max position “ ”.

3)Press the knob right down to prime the electric ignition.

WARNING: Risk of explosion! The oven door must be open during this operation.

In case of power cut, press the knob and immediately approach a lighted match to the opening “A” (fig. 9). Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.

4)Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner

lighting before releasing the knob (time of priming of the valve).

5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust the burner according to the power required.

Should the flame of the burner estinguish for any reason, the safety valve will cut off automatically the gas flow to the tap.

To re-start operation, take the knob to the “” OFF position, wait for at least 1 minute and repeat operations as above explained.

In case of power cut, press the knob and put a lighted match to the right and left side of the burner (fig. 11).

Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds. If the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating the ignition.

4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner lighting before releasing the knob (time of priming of the valve).

5) Half-close the oven door slowly.

	Should the flame of the burner estin-
	guish for any reason, the safety valve
	will cut off automatically the gas flow to
	the tap. To re-start operation, take the
	knob to the “ ” OFF position, wait for
	at least 1 minute and repeat operations	Fig. 12
	as above explained.
