OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force.
USING THE BURNERS
The flame symbols printed on the side of the control knobs indicate the
correspondence between the knob and the flame size on the burner.
TURNING ON THE BURNERS
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to
the maximum position (large flame, fig. 1)
and press the knob.
Once the burner has lit, keep the knob pressed for
about 6 seconds.
USING THE BURNERS
In order to obtain the maximum efficiency without
waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pan is
suitable for the burner potential (see the following
table) to avoid the flame reaching out past the pan
(fig. 2).
Use the maximum flame to quickly make liquids reach boiling point, and the
reduced flame to heat food or maintain boiling. To reduce gas consumption
and maximise the efficiency of the hob always cook with lids on pans. All of the
operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones,
never between the maximum position and ‘off.’
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing
position. If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches,
setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1).
