GAS BURNERS

USE OF THE HOB

The flow of gas to the burners is adjusted by the knobs of Fig. 2 which control the safety closure taps.

Line up the needle of the knob with the symbols printed on the panel:

✓ full disc

● = tap closed

✓ symbol = max. opening or

max. flow

✓ symbol = min. opening or

min. flow

✓ To light one of the burners, bring a

flame close to the upper part of the burner, then press and turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise until the symbol representing a large flame (max flow) lines up with the panel reference.

✓ For reduced flow, turn the knob

further until it stops at the symbol representing the maximum flame.

✓ Use the maximum flow to bring liquids

to the boil quickly and the reduced flow to heat foods slowly or for simmering.

✓ All the operating positions must be

chosen between the maximum and minimum positions and never between the maximum position and off.

Lighting the burners WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION

CHOICE OF BURNER

The symbols printed on the panel by the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between knob and burner. Choose the suitable burner depending on the cookware diameter and capacity. The pan diameter should be suitable for the burner power to make the most of the burner's high efficiency and not waste fuel. A small pan does not boil more quickly on the large burner.

Attention: During use the hob becomes very hot under the cooking zones. Keep children away.
