when the flame should accidentally go out.
CAUTION:
If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least

CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.3)
The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about
a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that
boiling conditions are reached quicker.
Caution!
The cooktop becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1) which
control the valves.
Tur ning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel
achieves the following functions:
OFF = closed valve
HI = maximum rate
LO =minimum rate
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of
liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the LO position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between
the maximum aperture and OFF positions.
N.B. When the cooktop is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF posi-
tions and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS with safety valve device
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the LITE-HI position (maximum
rate), push in, hold the knob until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in HI position, try again with the knob in LO position.
If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lights before releasing the knob (starting time
for the safety valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the OFF position, wait for at least 1 minute
and then repeat the lighting procedure.

GENERAL RECOMANDATION
✓ Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold.
✓ All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-
abrasive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.
✓ Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
ENAMELLED PARTS
✓ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or
other non-abrasive products.
✓ Dry preferably with a chamois leather.
If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on
the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
✓ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean
cloth or with a chamois leather.
✓ For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a
little hot vinegar.
✓ Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of
the high flame temperature.
CONTROL KNOBS
✓ The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to
damage/remove the seal fitted below the knobs.
BURNERS AND GRIDS
✓ These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.
✓ After cleaning, the burners and their flame distributors must be well dried and
correctly replaced.
✓ It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor and the cap has
been correctly positioned - failure to do so can cause serious problems.
✓
Check that the probe next to each burner is always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.
✓ In appliances with electric ignition keep the electrode clean so that the sparks
always strike.
✓ Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the
burners are not in place.
GAS VALVES
✓ In the event of operating faults in the gas valves, call the Service Department.
