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

Hob Burners Control Knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
front panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :

z there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the Burners

• For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.

• Push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise

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 z.

• In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without
the electrical device; in this case approach the burner
with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn
it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum"
position.

• 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
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.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over­heated.

Caution!
When removing the cast iron pan
supports, lift them up as shown in Fig. 2.
Never turn the pan supports on the hinges
as shown in Fig. 3, since this could
damage them.

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or

manteinance work.

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.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature 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.

Cast Iron Pan Supports

The hob has cast iron pan supports.
Take care when removing them. They are fair heavy
and could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if
you let them fall down.
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. Thanks
to these hooks, you can lift the pan supports for easier
cleaning.
When removing the pan supports, lift them up as shown
in Fig. 2. Never turn the pan supports on the hinges,
this could damage them (Fig. 3).
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
