GAS BURNERS
Gasowtotheburnersisadjustedbytur-
ningtheknobs(illustratedings.2.1)which
control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator points
to the symbols printed on the panel achie-
ves the following functions:
– full circle closed valve
– symbol maximum
apertureorow
– symbol minimum
apertureorow
N.B. When the cooktop is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock val-
ve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.
Fig. 2.1
To reduce the gas ow to minimum,
•
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
amesymbol.
The maximum aperture position per-
•
mits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids.
Other intermediate operating
•
adjustments can be achieved by posi-
tioning the indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum aperture positions,
and never between the maximum
aperture and closed positions.
2 - HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

CHOICE OF BURNER
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume ca-
pacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots
or pans suitably match the heating poten-
tial of the burners in order not to jeopardise
theefciencyoftheburners,bringingabout
a waste of gas fuel. A small diameter pot or
pan placed on a large burner does not ne-
cessarily mean that boiling conditions are
reached quicker.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH
MAY BE USED ON THE HOBS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAX.
Auxiliary (1) 12 cm 14 cm
Semirapid 16 cm 24 cm
Rapid 24 cm 26 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Wok (2) Max 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or con-
vex bases
(1) with grill for small cookware: minimum
diameter 6 cm (only for model KHG 601)

Wait about ten seconds after the ga-2.
slights before releasing the knob (star-
ting time for the valve).
Adjust the gas valve to the desired po-3.
sition.
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 proce-
dure.
N.B.: If your local gas supply makes it dif-
cult to light the burner with the knob set
to maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.

Attention
The appliance gets very hot, mainly around the cooking areas. It is very important
that children are not left alone in the kitchen when you are cooking.
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus
make it unsafe.
GENERAL ADVICE
Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.•
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning the•
enamelled parts.
All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-abra-•
sive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.
Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.•
Do not use cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.•
WARNING
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the un-
derneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and
may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
ENAMELLED PARTS
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other•
non-abrasive products.
Drypreferablywithamicrobreorsoftcloth.•
If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the
enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.
STAINLESS STEEL ELEMENTS
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.•
Forpersistentdirt,usespecicnon-abrasiveproductsavailablecommerciallyoralittle•
hot vinegar.
Note: regular use could cause discolouring around the burners, because of the•
high ame temperature.
3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs may be removed for•
cleaning but care should be taken not to
damage the seal.
GAS TAPS
Periodic lubrication of the gas taps must•
be carried out by specialist personnel
only.
In the event of operating faults in the gas•
taps, call the Service Department.
BURNERS AND GRIDS
These parts can be removed and cleaned•
with appropriate products.
Aftercleaning, theburners andtheir a-•
me spreaders must be well dried and cor-
rectly replaced.
It is very important to check that the bur-•
ner ame spreader and the cap have
been correctly positioned.
Failure to do so can cause serious pro-•
blems.
Check that the electrode “• S” (gs. 3.1 -
3.3) is always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.
Check that the probe “• T”(gs.3.1-3.3)nexttoeachburnerisalwayscleantoensure
the correct operation of the safety valves.
Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the burners are not
in place.
Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
CORRECT REPLACEMENT OF THE AUXILIARY, SEMIRAPID AND RAPID
BURNERS
Itisveryimportanttocheckthattheburneramespreader“F” and the cap “C” have been
correctlypositioned(seegs.3.1and3.2).
Failure to do so can cause serious problems.
CORRECT POSITION OF TRIPLE RING BURNER
Thetripleringburnermustbecorrectlypositioned(seeg.3.3);theburnerribmustbe
ttedintheirhousingasshownbythearrow.
Theburnercorrectlypositionedmustnotrotate(g.3.4).
Then position the cap Aand the ring B(gs.3.4-3.5).
