Operation
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that :
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.
)To light a burner:
z turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to
maximum position (
), then push it down to ignite the burner.
Only for models EHG 641, EHG 6412, EHG 6832
z Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
z Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach the burner with a flame,

push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the “maximum” position.
Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position ( 
) and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table below).

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
