GAS BURNERS
Gas ow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in g. 1.2)
which control the safety valves.
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the panel,
achieves the following functions:
– symbol closed valve
– symbol maximum
aperture or ow
– symbol minimum
aperture or ow
• 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 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.
Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium
foils.

8
The ignition device shall not be
operated for more than 15 seconds.
If after 15 seconds the burner has
not lit, stop operating the device
and open the compartment door of
the cabinet underneath (if available)
and/or wait at least 1 minute before
attempting a further ignition of the
burner. Fig. 1.4
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (g. 1.3) to
the full ame position marked by the
“ ” symbol (g. 1.2); hold the knob
in until the ame has been lit. In the
case of a mains failure light the burner
with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for a few 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.
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
Semirapid 12 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Wok 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.
A small pot on a large burner does not give
you a boiling point in a shorter amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.
BATTERY IGNITION
If the electronic ignition does not work make
sure that the battery, installed on the back
of the hob, is not at and has been installed
correctly (see the chapter “Installing the
battery for electric ignition”, page 14).

SPECIAL WOK GRILLE (gs. 1.5a - 1.5b)
This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the triple ring burner.
Warning:
• Using woks without this special grille may cause the burner to malfunction.
• Do not use the grille for ordinary, at-bottomed saucepans.
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the
triple-ring burner.
