3. USING THE COOKTOP
FIRE HAZARD
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
- Do not allow the burner flame to extend beyond the
edge of the pan.
WARNING
- Turn off all controls when not cooking.
NOTE: Before lighting the cooktop burners check that the
flame caps are in the correct position and that their burner
caps are in place, making sure that the holes A in the flame
caps correspond to the spark plugs and thermocouples.
Grid B should be used with Chinese woks.
3.1 Ignition with safety device
Each knob has a symbol that shows the corresponding burner (the example on the left shows the left
front burner).
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition.
- Just press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol until
the burner switches on.
- Keep the knob pressed down for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety
device.
- After switching the burner on it is recommended that the knob be left in the minimum position for
approximately 20 seconds before adjusting it to the desired temperature.
The flame may go out when the knob is released. In this case repeat the operation, but keeping the
knob pressed down for a longer period of time.
NOTE: If the flame goes out accidentally, after about 20 seconds the safety device will intervene and
block the gas flow, even when the valve is open.
REMEMBER: When the cooktop is in use, the entire cooktop area may become hot

Instructions for the user
3.1.1 Power failure
In case of a prolonged power outage you can manually light the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the minimum flame symbol . After the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.
3.2 Practical advice on using the burners
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation around the edges of the pan stand.
To achieve a better performance of the burners and and a lower gas
consumption, flat bottomed, levelled cookware with lids should be used, and
they should also be proportioned to the burners (see paragraph “3.3
Diameter of cookware”).
To avoid overcooking or damaging the surface top while cooking, all
cookware or griddles must be positioned within the cooktop perimeter and
at a minimum distance of 3-4 cm / 1 ½” from the knobs.
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape. A good flame
is blue in color, not yellow. Keep the burner ports area free of soil and do not
allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner
ports.
NOTE: Before turning a control knob, place filled cookware on the pan stand. Do not operate a burner
using empty cookware or without cookware on the pan stand.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.

3.4 Cookware
NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-fitting lid and the material should be of
medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper may be used as a core or base in
cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or pan
stands.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking
results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, aluminum
cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
• Heats quickly and evenly
Aluminum
Cast iron
Ceramic or ceramic glass
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly
Earthenware
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
cast iron
Stainless steel
• Suitable for all types of cooking
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
• Heats slowly and evenly
• Good for browning and frying
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
• Heats slowly, but unevenly
• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
• Use on low heat settings
• See stainless steel or cast iron
• Heats quickly, but unevenly
• A core or base of aluminum or copper on stainless steel provides
even heating
