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

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.
