How To Use the Hob Burners
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a
separate gas tap operated by a control
knob (fig. 4.3) which has 3 positions
marked on the knob, these are:
– Symbol ●: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise
to the selected position.
Low High
Lighting of the hob burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be pursued:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-clockwise, and make the symbol printed
on the knob to mach with the indicator on the control panel (fig. 4.3).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric ignition; or, in case of power cut, approach a
flame to the burner.
3) Adjust the burner according to the power required.
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed ●position, wait for at least 1
minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum,
set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
- The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs (★symbol beside flame - max.
heat/max. gas flow fig. 4.3).
- The maximum setting permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum setting
allows slower warming of food or maintaining simmering conditions of liquids.
- Other intermediate operating can be achieved by positioning the control knob indicator
between the maximum and minimum setting, but not between the maximum and off
positions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions
and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
Fig. 4.3

Choice of burner
Fig. 4.4
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.
Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are
offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the infortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Burners Pan diameter
Auxiliary 12 ÷ 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 ÷ 24 cm
Rapid 24 ÷ 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 ÷ 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

18
Correct use of triple-ring burner
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand in order to avoid any faulty
operation of the triple-ring burner (Fig. 4.5a - 4.5b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 4.5b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-
rest for the triple-ring burner.

Fig. 5.1
Using the ceramic griddle
for the first time
– Remove the adhesive film which pro-
tects some parts.
– Remove any residual glue carefully,
without using abrasive substances, to
avoid scratching the surfaces.
– Clean the cooking surface carefully.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
power setting knob to the maximum
position (11-12) for about 15 minutes
to remove residual working greases.
The griddle reaches the working temper-
ature very quickly and can grill any food,
without fat and oil, directly on the radiant
zone's glass-ceramic surface.
Operation of the radiant zone is con-
trolled by a continuous 12-position power
regulator.
The signal lamp (above the control knob)
lights up when the griddle is ON.
Use of the ceramic griddle
– Before cooking make sure that the
radiant zone is clean.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
knob to position 12.
– Preheat until the cooking surface
becomes red.
– Then turn the knob to the position
required. The numbers from 1 to 12
indicate the working positions with
temperature increasing as the number
increases.
– Place the food on the radiant zone
and check the cooking by eye.
– Turn off the griddle by turning the
knob to position “0”.
– As the radiant zone remains hot for
some time after the hob is switched
off, turn the zone off a few minutes
before the end of cooking.
The residual heat will complete the
cooking.
–Do not use the griddle for more
than 30 minutes.
Caution!
The griddle becomes very hot
during use and remains very hot
even after it is switched off.
Keep children well out of reach.

20
Tips for grilling:
– Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to
obtain quick and uniform cooking.
– Do not pour water on the cooking sur-
face when it is switched on or still hot.
– If cooking very fatty foods, leave the
griddle switched on for a few minutes
after cooking is finished, to burn off the
fatty residues.
Advice for the safe use of
ceramic griddle
– Do not lean on the cooking zone when
it is switched on.
– Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zone when it is
hot.
– Do not leave objects of any type on
the surfaces made of ceramic, glass
or similar fragile material.
– Remember that the cooking zone
remains hot for some time after it is
switched off (about 30 min.).
– Follow the cleaning instructions care-
fully.
– If you note a crack in the ceramic grid-
dle, switch the appliance off immedi-
ately and call the After-Sales Service.
Do not scratch the ceramic griddle
with cutting or sharp objects.
Do not use the ceramic griddle as
a work surface.
Cleaning the ceramic grid-
dle
Make sure that the cooker is switched
off before cleaning it.
– Remove any encrustation.
– Remove dust with a damp cloth.
– Detergents can be used, but they must
not be abrasive or corrosive.
– Any remaining detergent must be com-
pletely removed with a damp cloth.
– Do not put any objects on the ceramic
griddle which can melt with heat, such
as plastic objects, aluminium foil,
sugar or sugar products.
– If any object melts on the ceramic grid-
dle, remove it immediately (while the
cooking zone is still hot) using a spe-
cial scraper, to prevent any irreversible
damage to the glass ceramic surface.
– Do not use knives or sharp objects
which could damage the glass ceramic
surface.
– Do not use abrasive sponges or pads
which could irreversibly damage the
glass ceramic surface.
CAUTION: Never use abrasive sub-
stances or no-neutral detergent
which could irreversibly damages.
