How to use the hob burners
Fig. 5
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap
operated by a control knob (fig. 5) which has 3
positions marked on the control panel, 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.
Lighting of the hob burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:
1 –
Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position
marked by the symbol (fig. 5) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.
Important
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 maxi-
mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions
of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the hob 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.

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
Choice of burner
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.
Saucepans with handles that are excessively heavy in relation to the weight of the pan
are less safe as they are more 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 unfortunate 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.

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. 7 - 8).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 8) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the triple-ring burner.

the opening “A” (fig. 9). Never continue this operation for more than 15 seconds.
If the burner has still not ignited, wait for about 1 minute prior to repeating
the ignition.
4) Wait about 10/15 seconds after the burner
lighting before releasing the knob (time of
priming of the valve).
5) Close the oven door slowly and adjust the
burner according to the power required.
Should the flame of the burner
estinguish for any reason, the safety
valve will cut off automatically the gas
flow to the tap.
To re-start operation, take the knob to
the “ ” OFF position, wait for at least
1 minute and repeat operations as
above explained.
Oven
