CAUTION: If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob
and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to relight.
CAUTION:
Gas appliances produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed.
Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or
by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct.

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
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. 3.1
Fig. 3.2
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap (g.
3.1) assuring the opening and the closing
of the gas supply.
Make the knob symbols match with the
indicator on the control panel to obtain:
• symbol : off
• symbol : full on (nominal rate)
• symbol : reduced rate
√The maximum aperture position
permitsrapidboilingofliquids,whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids.
√To reduce the gas ow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
ame symbol.
√Other intermediate operating
adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the indicator between the
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and closed
positions.
Intheeventoftheburneramesbeing

burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min.
USE OF THE HOB BURNERS

Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium
foils.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capacity
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pots
must be used in the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY
BE USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxliliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Wok pan Max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or
convex bases
It is important that the diameter of the pot
be suitable to the potentiality of the burner
so as not to compromise the high output
of the burners and therefore energy waste.
Asmall pot on a large burner does not give
you a boiling point in a shorten amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.
Fig. 3.4
Fig. 3.3
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
t urn counter-clockwise (g. 3.2) to the
full ame position marked by the
symbol (g. 3.1) and hold the knob in
until the ame has been lit. Press the
ignition button marked by the symbol
(g. 3.3). The sparks produced
by the electrodes situated next to the
burner will light the selected burner.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for about ten seconds after the
gas burner has been lit before letting
go of the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner ame should go out for some
reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas ow.
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 difcult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

CORRECT USE OF RAPID BURNER
The at-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any faulty
operation of the rapid burner (g. 3.5a - 3.5b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (g. 3.5b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the rapid burner.

ELECTRICAL THERMOSTAT
Turn on the oven or grill element by turning
the switch that is also provided with a
thermostat to control the oven temperature.
On the knob (g. 4.1), other than the “0”
position (off), are numbers 1to 10 which
indicate the oven temperature value with
the temperature increase according to the
number (see table 4.2).
The position serves only for grilling
with the oven door slightly open and with
the protection shield for the control panel
mounted.
The switch/thermostat symbols indicate:
• Position “0”= off
• Positionfrom“1”to“10”=simultaneous
operation of the 2 elements (upper
and lower). The numbers correspond
to the temperature shown in the table
4.2. The elements will turn on and
off automatically depending on the
temperature required commanded by
the thermostat.
• Position = grill element in
operation without temperature control
(see specic paragraph).
The automatic turning on and off of the
elements is signalled by a light above the
knob.

Advice for the installer
IMPORTANT
• Cooker installation must only be carried out by QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS and in
compliance with local safety standards. Failure to comply with this condition will render
the guarantee invalid.
• The appliance must be installed in compliance with regulations in force in your country
and in observation of the manufacturer’s instructions.
• This appliance is not connected to a device to evacuate the combustion products. This
must be installed and connected in conformity with the installation rules in force. Pay
special care to room ventilation as well.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before carrying out any
maintenance operations or repairs.
• Some appliances are supplied with a protective lm on steel and aluminium parts.
Thislmmustberemovedbeforeusingthecooker.
