GENERAL NOTES ON SAFETY
• When the heating elements are in use do not leave
them unattended and make sure there are no small
children in the vicinity. Check that pan handles are
positioned correctly and always keep an eye on
the pan whenever oils or fats are used as they are
easily inflammable.
• Do not use spray cans near the appliance when it is
in use.
• Even after use the cooking zones retain heat for a
long time so do not put your hands or other objects
on them (on the ceramic glass hobs, pay attention
to the “residual heat warning”).
• The scraper for cleaning the glass can hurt. Keep
it out of the reach of children. Do not use it if the
blades are damaged.
• After you have used the appliance make sure that
all the controls are off or closed.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION
Rotate the knob (A) which corresponds to burner to be
ignited anti clockwise to the “Full On” position. Then
push in the control knob and hold untill burner lights,
once lit, kepp the knob pressed for about 10 seconds.
MANUAL IGNITION
Manual ignition may be necessary in the event of
power failure or component malfunction. Place a lit
match close to the selected burner, and repeat the
above steps.
OPTIMUM USE OF THE BURNERS
In order to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum
gas consumption it is useful to remember:
• Do not use large burners with pans of small diameter
in order to avoid flames spreading wider than pans
(consult the following table) and always use pans
with lids (fig. 3).
• Avoid using over sized pans that may radiate
excessive heat and cause damage to surrounding
surfaces such as bench tops and glass lid.
• The appliance is equipped with a particular pan
support (1) on which must be put the wok support
(2). To ensure stability, position the notch (A) of wok
support on the pan support fingers as indicated in fig.
4.
• Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer, asbestos
mat, between pan and pan support, as serious
damage to the appliance may result.
• Locate pan centrally over the burner so that is stable
and does not overhang the appliance.
• Do not use burners without the proper pan support
or wok stand, as this will concentrate and deflect the
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
heat onto the hotplate and surrounding surfaces.
• When the boiling point is reached, it is best to turn
the knob to the “
Reduced rate position” (small
flame).
• If gas burns with a yellow flame, do not continue to
use burner and arrange for service.
