Instruction for the User

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

l

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 in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise

F

to "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.

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.

Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" and "crown" (Fig. 1 ­lett. A-B) is in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
"l".

 Always turn the flame down or put it out before

taking the pans off the burner.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel
wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

FO 2110

Candle for electric ignition

The electric ignition 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 are not
obstructed.

Periodic Maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.

l The periodic lubrication of the taps must be

carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
