Instruction for the User

Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective materials,
which were put on in the factory.

Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

there is no gas supply

•

there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply

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.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a
power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator
to be activated automatically.

Lighting the burners

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

Models with semi-automatic ignition

To light a burner, depress the relevant switch
marked with a small spark. Then, push in the
relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to "maximum
position" (ZGL 646 I) .

Models with automatic ignition

""

"

""

Push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise
to "maximum position". After lighting the flame,
keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds.
This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2, lett. D)
to be heated and the safety device to be switched
off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted
(ZGL 646 IT - ZXL 636) .

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. 1-2, lett. A) is in
the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.

• 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.
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.

Use of electric plate (ZXL 636)

To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.
The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat
The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.

Burner minimum maximum

diameter diameter

Big (rapid) 160 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semirapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

It is important to note that the plate 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.

Using the plate correctly

• When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a
thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure
total contact with the plate and, consequently , perfect
conduction (Fig. 2).

• Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the
even distribution of heat and the saving of energy.
Cooking time is also lengthier .

• As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be
slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.

• Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch
off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The
heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the
food and save energy.

Fig. 2

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.
