All operating positions must be set between the
maximum and minimum flow settings, and never
between the maximum setting and the closed
position.

Lighting the burners

To obtain a flame more easily, light the burner before placing a cooking

utensil on the pan stand

To light a burner, proceed as follow: for Version with lighting integrated in

the

control knob push the knob of the burner fully down and turn it

anticlockwise

to the “maximum flow” setting symbol, or press the button if the appliance

has individual lighting.

● After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds: this

time is necessary to heat up the “thermocouple”(Fig.1-C) and activate the
safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.

Then check that the flame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the flame
as required

In the instance of a power cut, place a flame near the burner and proceed as
already described.

If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the “burner cap” and

“flame cap” are correctly positioned.

To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the

●

symbol.

Before removing pans from the burners, always lower or turn off the

flame.

For correct use of the hob

For lower gas consumption and better efficiency. Use only flat-bottomed pans of
dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in the table below. Also, as soon as a
liquid comes to the boil take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep
it boiling.

Burner minimum diameter maximum diameter
Large(rapid) 180mm 220mm
Medium(semi-rapid) 120mm 200mm
Small(Auxiliary) 80mm 160mm
Triple Flame 220mm 260mm

During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods

carefully

because these substances may catch fire if brought to high temperatures.

Important warning on the glass

Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer, asbestos mat, between pan

and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result.

Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok

stand as this will concentrate and deflect the heat onto the hotplate.

Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan

support or deflect the flame onto the hotplate.

Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not

overhang the appliance.

Use only a wok support supplied or recommended by the manufacture

of the appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before each operation, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and allow it
to cool down.

General cleaning

Wash enameled parts with lukewarm water and detergent: do not use abrasive
products which might damage them.
Wash the flame caps and burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking
care to remove all deposits
The hob pan stands can also be washed in a dishwasher
For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial
products. We strongly advise you not to use scouring pads. Steel wool or acids for
cleaning.

Hob

Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth wet with lukewarm water and a little liquid
detergent. Do not use the following products:

- household detergents or bleaches;

- soaped scouring pads not suitable for non-stick utensils;

- steel wool scouring pads;

- stain removers for baths or sinks.
If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial products.

Ignition plug

Automatic burner ignition is provided (when installed) by a ceramic “plug” and a
metal electrode (B in fig.1). Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. In
addition, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not
obstructed.
To remove deposits from the burner cavities,
remove the cap and separate the two parts
(see diagram on the right). After cleaning,
put the two parts back together and return
them correctly to their position. After washing,
replace the hob pan stands, checking that they
are correctly positioned.
