CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are
used.
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.
If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide
further ventilation by opening a window or by increasing the suction power
of the extractor hood(if fitted).

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP
2
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs(illustrated in fig. 2.1)
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the panel,
achieves the folowing functions:
-
-
-
symbol closed valve
symbol maximum aperture or flow
symbol minimum aperture or flow
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 flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-
clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Fig.2.1
Other operating adjustments can
be achieved by postioning the
indicator between the maximum
and minimum aperture positions,
and never between the maximum
aperture and closed positions.
IMPORTANT: To turn the control
knob from the closed position “ ”
to the maximum aperture position
“ ”, first press in the knob and then
turn it anti-clockwise.
Caution!
Do not cover the hob with
aluminum foils.
N.B. When the cook 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.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Firstly, install two pcs of No. 5 batteries in the battery box at the bottom of
the gas hob, and then perform the ignition and fire size adjustment
according to the order of illustration.(illustrated in fig. 2.3)
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:
Fig.2.2
Fig. 2.3
1 Press in the corresponding knob and turn
counter-clockwise(Fig. 2.3) to the full flame
position marked by the “ ” symbol (Fig. 2.1) ;
hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a main 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.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
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
70mm and 90mmBurner 6cm 22cm
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.
