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.
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.

THE HOB BROILER
THE HOB LID
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).
The broiler may smoke a little and produce
i
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.
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.
