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
NOTE: Depending on the model, the cooktop
may only have some of the following burners
BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Semi-rapid 16 cm 24 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.
Asmall 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.
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. 2.2) to the
full ame position marked by the
symbol (g. 2.1); hold the knob in unt il
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.
Note: If your local gas supply makes it
difcult to light the burner with the knob set
to maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.
