7. USING THE HOB
Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burner rings, caps and
grids have been fitted correctly.
In the wok burner, notch A must be aligned with pin B.
Grid C provided is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).
Adapter D comes only with open grids models and is intended for use
with small sized vessels.
7.1 Ignition of the burners
On some models raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading
and use of the controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding
burner by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or
to the marking on it.
(Only where applicable)
Double-crown burners, controlled by two knobs, feature two ribs, a long
one corresponding to the small inner burner and a short one to the outer
burner.
Double-crown burners comprise an auxiliary and a rapid burner,
controlled by two different knobs which permit to use both burners at the
same time or to select one or the other as required.
The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously
turn the knob counter-clockwise on any position between the high flame
and the low flame symbol, until the burner is ignited. Concerning models
with valves, push the knob for approximately 2 seconds in order to keep
the flame burning and to activate the safety device. The burner might go
off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation
keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.
Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety
device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet
even if the tap is open.
