Hob Burners
To light a burner:
zturn the relevant knob anticlockwise to
maximum position and push down the knob to
ignite.
zAfter lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 2 - lett. D) to be heated
and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 - lett. A) and
“crown”(Fig.1-lett.B)areinthecorrectposition.
Toputtheflameout,turntheknobtothesymbol
.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can
occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a
flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches
the"maximum" position.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated automatically

Prolonged cooking with potstones,
earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is
inadvisable.Also,donotusealuminiumfoiltoprotectthetopduringuse.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that
they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas
consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip
over or spill their contents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots
andpanswitha flatbottomfitting thesizeof theburner used,sothat flamewill notspread
beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT
the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more
easily than if it is left to cool.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
