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

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

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

•In models provided with automatic ignition, depress the relevant switch marked with a small spark. Then, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

•In models provided with semi-automatic ignition,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 ●.

•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 over-heated.

THE HOB BROILER

The model ZGF 993 ITXC is supplied with an electric broiler situated in the central zone of the hob.

To switch on the broiler, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered 0 (OFF) - 8 (Maximum).

i	The broiler may smoke a little and produce
	a slightly unpleasant odour when used for
	the first time. This is quite normal and will
	disappear after a few minutes.

Preheat the broiler on a full setting for 15 minutes, then adjust the heat setting as desired.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the broiler are given in the relevant table on this page. The settings and cooking times are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures to suit individual preferences and requirements. When cooking fat foods (bacon, sausages, etc.) it is recommended to use intermediate settings in order to avoid smoke.

After switching off the broiler, especially after long cooking sessions, its front part will remain hot for at least 45 minutes.

Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food on the broiler.

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.

●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.
