work.
• Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.
• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.
• Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.

HOB BURNERS CONTROL KNOBS
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
front panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :
● there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
• For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.
Push the relevant knob down and turn it anticlockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down
for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 lett. D) to be heated and the
safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas
supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ●.
• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
USING THE HOB CORRECTLY
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that
flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel
(see the table beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

THE HOB LID
In order to make the appliance match with the kitchen
design, a lid (not provided) can be fitted on the hob.
● The lid is meant to avoid dust to settle on the hob,
when it is closed, and to collect splashes of oil or
fat, when it is open. Do not use it for any other
purpose.
● Always wipe off any splash of liquid before
opening the lid.
2.Cleaning and Maintenance
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
GENERAL CLEANING
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
● Always clean the lid from cooking residues before
opening it or taking it off.
● WARNING! The crystal lid can splinter when
overheated. Always ensure all the burners are
off before closing it.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
AUTOMATIC IGNITION
The automatic ignition of the gas burners is obtained
through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (fig.
1 lett. C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid
difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes
(lett. B) are not obstructed.
PAN SUPPORTS
The hobs are provided with enamelled pan supports
(thin and light - fig.2).To keep the pan supports in the
right position, they are hooked to a couple of special
hinges in the back of the hob.
Thanks to these hooks, you can lift the pan supports
for easier cleaning, as shown in fig. 3. To take the pan
supports completely off the hob, proceed as shown in
fig. 3.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
