All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it counter­clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to
and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation. Keep the knob pressed in longer.
In case of an accidental turning off, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least 5 minutes before lighting it again.
Setting flame size
A minimum and maximum flame size can be set for each burner.
Rapid burner
Dual Flame burner
When the outer ring is lit, regardless of the size of the flame, the inner ring is also lit. It is not possible to switch on the outer ring without the inner one.
16
Use
Simmer function
This function is extremely useful for melting food like butter, chocolate or similar and for simmering small quantities of food.
1. Switch on the Dual Flame burner internal ring.
2. Set the flame to the minimum.
If the external cup switches on at full power, set half power at least for the internal cup.
Correct positioning of the flame­spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly positioned in their seats with their respective burner caps. Make sure that the holes 1 of the flame-spreader crowns are aligned with the thermocouples 2 and igniters 3.

Use
Cookware
Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough cookware finishes may scratch the appliance. Aluminum and copper may be used in cookware as a core material or base. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the appliance or grates.
Cookware properties are a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example, a non- stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on the properties of aluminum.
Refer to the following chart as a guide to the physical properties of cookware.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or glass-ceramic
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats slowly but unevenly.
• Best results with low to medium heat settings.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use low heat settings.
Porcelain enameled steel or cast iron
• See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
• Stainless steel cookware with aluminum or copper as a core material or bottom provides even heating.
