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
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
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.

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
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
Semi-rapid 12 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Wok pan Max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or
convex bases
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.

10
CORRECT USE OF THE TRIPLE-RING 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 triple-ring burner (gs. 3.5a - 3.5b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (g. 3.5b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for
the triple-ring burner.
