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 (

) and push down

the knob to ignite.

z After lighting the flame, keep the knob

pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig.-lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

z Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required. z If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to off position, and

try again.

z If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the

"cap" (Fig.-lett. A) and “crown” (Fig.-lett. B) are in the correct position.

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 burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to 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 used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table below).

Burner minimum maximum

Large (rapid) 180 mm 260 mm Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 mm Small (auxiliary) 80 mm 180 mm

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.
