CAUTION:
Gas hobs 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:
If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventila-
tion by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood (if
fitted).

GAS BURNERS
(Auxiliary, Semi-rapid and triple
ring)
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1)
which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator
line points to the symbols printed on the
panel achieves the following functions:
The maximum aperture position per-
mits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
simmer warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the
position.
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and ●
positions.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
FITTED WITH FLAME
FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE
(Auxiliary, Semi-rapid and triple-
ring burners)
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Push and turn the knob in an anti-
clockwise direction (fig. 2.2) up to
the position (maximum rate),
push in and hold the knob until the
flame has been lit.
The sparks produced by the lighter
situated inside the relative burner
will light the flame.
In the event that the local gas sup-
ply conditions makes it difficult to
light the burner in position, try
again with the knob in position.
If there is no main electrical supply,
bring a lighted match close to the
burner.
2 – Wait for about ten seconds after
the gas burner has been lit before
letting go the knob (safety device
activation delay).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed ●position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.

GAS BURNERS (Dual)
The Dual Burner is a very flexible burner
which allows different regulations and
optimal cooking.
It is composed by one inner and two
outer crowns; the flame of the inner
crown can be regulated separately from
the flames of the outer crowns.
The Dual Burner can be used:
-
as a small burner (flame produced only
by the inner crown) which can be
adjusted from the maximum ( ) to
the minimum ( )position.
Intermediate operating adjustments
can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and
minimum opening positions, and
never between the maximum opening
and ●position.
- as a high-power burner (all flames pro-
duced simultaneously by inner and
outer crowns) which can be adjusted
from the maximum ( )to the mini-
mum ( )position.
Gas flow to the burner is adjusted by
turning the knob (illustrated in fig. 2.3)
which controls the valve.
Turning the knob so that the indicator
line points to the symbols printed on the
panel achieves the following functions:
Knob position Function DUAL burner

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
FITTED WITH FLAME
FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE
(Dual Burner)
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Push and turn the knob (illustrat-
ed in fig. 2.3) in an anti-clockwise
direction (fig. 2.4) up to the
position (maximum rate of inner
crown); push in and hold the knob
until the flame has been lit.
The sparks produced by the lighter
situated inside the relative burner
will light the flame.
In the event that the local gas sup-
ply conditions makes it difficult to
light the burner in position,
try again with the knob in posi-
tion.
If there is no main electrical supply
connection, bring a lighted match
close to the burner.
2 – Wait for about ten seconds after
the gas burner has been lit before
letting go the knob (safety device
activation delay).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
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: To change from using the inner
crown only to using both the inner and
outer crowns together, press the control
knob down before turning it.
You have to do the same when going
from using both crowns to using just the
inner crown.
N.B. When the cooker top 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.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

AUXILIARY GRATE FOR SMALL
PANS ( optional) (fig. 2.6).
This grate is to be placed on top of the
(smaller) auxiliary burner when using
small diameter pans, in order to prevent
them from tipping over.
Fig. 2.6
CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.5)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the gas knobs indicate the correspond-
ence between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume
capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise the efficiency of the burners,
bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed
on a large burner does not necessarily
mean that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.
