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

N.B. When the cooker 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.

Fig. 3.1

Fig. 3.2

Each burner is controlled by a gas tap (g.

3.1) assuring the opening and the closing

of the gas supply.
Make the knob symbols match with the
indicator on the control panel to obtain:

• symbol : off

• symbol : full on (nominal rate)

• symbol : reduced rate

√ 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 ow to minimum,

rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small

ame 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.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

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

1. Press in the corresponding knob and
t

urn counter-clockwise (g. 3.2)

to the

full ame position marked by the
symbol (g. 3.1).

2. Press the ignition button marked by
the symbol

(g. 3.3).

 The sparks produced by the electrodes

situated next to the burner will light the
selected burner.

 In the case of a mains failure light the

burner with a match or lighted taper.

3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.

To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right, up to the safety click.

If your local gas supply makes it difcult

to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

Fig. 3.4

Fig. 3.3

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.

The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capacity
used.

As an indication, the burners and the pots
must be used in the following way:

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY

BE USED ON THE BURNERS

BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM

Auxliliary 12 cm 14 cm

Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm

Rapid 24 cm 26 cm

Wok pan Max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or
convex bases

It is important that the diameter of the pot
be suitable to the potentiality of the burner
so as not to compromise the high output
of the burners and therefore energy waste.

A small pot on a large burner does not give
you a boiling point in a shorten amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.

12

CORRECT USE OF RAPID BURNER (Some models only)

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

When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any faulty

operation of the rapid burner (g. 3.5a - 3.5b).

IMPORTANT:

The special grille for wok pans (g. 3.5b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the rapid burner.

ONLY FOR MODELS WITH ELECTRIC HOTPLATE

PROPER USE OF THE ELECTRIC
HOTPLATE

(g. 3.7)

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 ve minutes after

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

• avoid keeping it on without something

on it;

• avoid pouring liquids on it while it is

hot;

• use at-bottomed (electric hotplate

type) pots and pans only

• use cooking receptacles which cover

as much of the surface of the hotplate
as possible.

• to save electricity, use lids whenever

possible.

• never cook food directly on the

hotplate: always use a pan or suitable
container.

An indicator light located close to the knob
signals that the hotplate is operating

RAPID HOTPLATE

To switch on the rapid hotplate, turn the

knob (g. 3.6) onto the desired position;

the numbers “1” to “6” indicate the working
positions with the increase of temperature
according to the number.
Once boiling point has been reached,
reduce the input according to the heating
intensity desired, keeping in mind that the
plate will continue to heat for 5 minutes
after having been turned off.

The features of this plate, which is equipped
with a heat limiter, allow:

• reaching the temperature rapidly

• maximum exploitation of the input with

at bottom pots

• the limitation of input in the case of

unsuitable pots.

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

Never cook food directly on the electric
hotplates! Always use a saucepan or
special container.
