How to turn off a burner
1. To turn off a burner press the relevant
Burner Ignition Touch Control . All the
flame level indicators go off.
The residual heat indicator remains on
until the pan support and the burner have
cooled down.
In case of ignition failure
The hob ignition device generates a series
of small sparks for about 6 seconds.
If the flame does not light during this period,
the gas flow to the burner is interrupted.
After 3 seconds, the ignition device
automatically repeats the ignition procedure
for another 6 seconds.
After three failed ignition attempts, a safety
device is set on the burner. The flame level
indicators flash.
Caution! When the safety device is
set on a burner, the burner controls
cannot be operated for about 60
seconds.
After 60 seconds, you can remove the safety
device on the burner by touching both the
Increasing Control and the Decreasing
Control at the same time.
Then, follow the instructions given in the
paragraph “How to light a burner”.

(draughts, spilling of liquids, etc.), the gas
flow is immediately interrupted.
After about 20 seconds, the ignition device
automatically repeats the ignition procedure .
Upon reignition, the burner flame is first set
at maximum level, then it is automatically
adjusted to the level set before it was
accidentally extinguished.
If three consecutive reignition attempts fail,
a safety device is set on the burner. The
flame level indicators and the residual heat
indicator flash.
Caution! When the safety device is
set on a burner, the burner controls
cannot be operated for about 60
seconds.
After 60 seconds, you can remove the
safety device on the burner by touching both

How to turn off all the
burners at once
In case of unexpected safety hazard (spilling
of liquids, children hazard, etc.), you can
immediately turn off all the hob burners at
once by touching the main ON/OFF
Control .
!
Burner Safety Cut-off
Function
If you leave one or more burners lit and
unattended for a long time (that is, you don’t
touch any control for at least 4 hours), each
lit burner is automatically turned off and a
safety device is set on it.
Caution! When the safety device is
set on a burner, the burner controls
cannot be operated for about 60
seconds.

the Increasing Control and the
Decreasing Control at the same time.
Then, follow the instructions given in the
paragraph “How to light a burner”.
!
Hob Safety Cut-off
Function
If no burner is on but the hob is activated
(the red indicator above the touch control
is on), the hob is automatically switched
off if no control is operated within 30
minutes.

adjusted.
2. To unlock the hob controls, touch the
“Lock” Control for about 3 seconds.
Protection against
overheating
If the hob is used intensively, e.g. several
burners at maximum level for a long time, a
temperature sensor detects possible
overheating and automatically adjusts all the
lit burners to minimum.
If the hob temperature keeps rising although
the flame level has been reduced, all the lit
burners are automatically turned off and a
safety device is set on all the four burners.
Caution! When the safety device is
set on all the burners, their controls
cannot be operated for about 60
seconds.
If you select all the burners with the
Timer Control (one at a time)
code number 9 flashes in the
cooking time display.
After the 60 seconds, you can reactivate all
the burners by touching the Increasing Control
and the Decreasing Control of one of
the four burners at the same time.
Once the safety device has been removed,
wait until the hob has cooled down before
using it again.

The Electronic Timer
Your hob is supplied with an electronic timer
enabling you to programme the cooking
duration. The timer can also be used as a
minute minder, when the hob is not in use.
The hob can even be used manually,
i.e. without any programming.
The timer only operates when the
hob is switched on by means of the
main ON/OFF Control.

activate the child safety function
every time the hob is not operated.
In case of a power failure, the hob
stores the children safety function
setting in the system memory. If the
controls are locked at the time of the
power failure, they will still be locked
when the power is restored.

water to the boil, then put some
vegetables, meat or pasta and
programme the required time for their
cooking.
The residual heat indicators remain
on even when the hob is off, until the
burner and the pan supports have

Safety and energy saving advice
For a correct use of the hob
To ensure maximum burner efficiency and
lower gas consumption, you should only use
pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).
If you use a saucepan which is
smaller than the recommended
size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing
the handle to overheat.
Pots must never be placed onto
the control zones.
Always turn the flame down or off
before removing pots from the
burners.
Take care when frying food in hot
oil or fat, as the overheated
splashes could easily ignite.
For an easier ignition of the burner,
light it before placing the pan on the
pan support.
Unstable or misshapen pans should
not be used on the hob as unstable
pans can cause an accident by
tipping or spillage.
It is advisable to cook with lids on.
By using a pressure cooker you will
obtain further energy-saving and
shorter cooking times.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn
down the flame so that it will barely
keep the liquid simmering.
Avoid cooking with potstones,
earthenware pots or cast iron
plates. Also, avoid using
aluminiun foil for protecting the
top during operation.
