USE OF COOKING HOB
3
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 in-
dicator on the control panel to obtain:
• symbol : off
• symbol : full on (nominal rate)
• symbol : reduced rate
The maximum aperture position permits ra-
pid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows slower warming of
food or maintaining boiling conditions of li-
quids.
Other intermediate operating adjustments
can be achieved by positioning the indica-
tor between the maximum and minimum
aperture positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.
To reduce the gas ow to minimum, rotate
the knob further anti-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the small ame symbol.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot du-
ring 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 val-
ve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob, the-
re is a diagram that indicates which burner
is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen ac-
cording 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 HOBS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Do not use pans with concave or convexe
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.
A small 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. 3.4Fig. 3.3
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instruc-
tions 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).
2. Models without electric ignition: light
the burner with a match or lighted ta-
per.
 Models with electric ignition
: 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.
3. Adjust the gas to the desired position.
To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right, up to the safety click.
If your local gas supply makes it difcult to
light the burner with the knob set to maxi-
mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat
the operation.
MODELS WITH BATTERY IGNITION
(N58 .. 204, N58 .. 214)
If the electronic ignition does not work
make sure that the battery, installed on the
back of the cooker, is not at and has been
installed correctly (see the chapter “Battery
installation”, page 30).

Models with gas tap
• One gas burner (wattage: 2,75 kW) lo-
cated at the bottom.
Models with gas thermostat
• One gas burner (wattage: 3,20 kW) lo-
cated at the bottom (providing safety
device - only for the models N58 ..
222, N58 .. 220).
• One gas grill (wattage: 2,00 kW), pla-
ced on the top (providing safety device
- only for the models N58 .. 222, N58
.. 220).
WARNING:

OVEN BURNER
It carries out normal “oven cooking”.
The gas delivery to the oven burner may
be controlled, according to the models, by
a tap or by a thermostat.
Models with gas tap (g. 4.1)
The adjustments are the same as descri-
bed for the top burner (see page 9).
Models with gas thermostat (g. 4.2)
The gas ow to the burner is regulated by
a thermostat which allow to maintain the
oven temperature constant.
The control of the temperature is assured
by a thermostatic probe positioned inside
the oven.
The probe must be always kept in its hou-
sing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect
position or encrustment may cause an alte-
ration in the control of the temperature.
The numbers 1to 10 printed on the knob
indicate the increasing oven temperature
value (see table 4.5).
To regulate the temperature, make the
chosen number of the knob (g. 4.2) match
with the indicator on the control panel.
Only for the models N58 .. 222, N58 ..
220: the gas thermostat controlling the gas
supply to the burner is equipped with a sa-
fety device which automatically stops the
gas ow in case of ame extinction.
