To fully understand this booklet, check which model you have just purchased.
Each model has:
-
above each knob, a diagram indicating the burner to which the knob refers;
-
1/2/3 burners. Each burner consists of: metal cover; aluminium fame divider resistant to high temperatures (PYRAL);
stainless steel heat shield flange with built-in pan stand; heat-sensitive element (safety cut-off switch).
-
plastic knobs;
-
pan restraint column, to fit into the appropriate position to guarantee the stability of the pans. To order.
To light the burners
: make sure that the gas main is open. Press and turn the burner knob anticlockwise to the maximum (big
flame) position, as shown in figure 1. These position is easily recognised by a small mechanical stop. At this point, approach the
flame with a lit match or electric lighter and press the knob down. Keep the knob pressed for a few seconds, then release it. This
operation is necessary to activate the gas safety device (cut-off switch). This is a thermo-electric device which guarantees the cut-
off of the gas supply in a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out.
When the burner is lit, turn the knob to the minimum position (small flame, figure 1), then place the container on the pan stand.
Turn the knob to the required flame intensity.
Should the flames accidentally go out, turn the burner control knob off and wait at least 1 min before attempting to light it again.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to align the index with the off position (solid spot ● or empty dot ○).
When the appliance is not in use, make sure that the knobs are always in the off position.
Should the rotation of the control knob become stiff, contact the Technical Assistance as soon as possible. Do not attempt to reset
or dismantle the hob.
Figure 1
To obtain maximum performance with minimum gas consumption, we recommend that:
-
you use suitable pans for each burner:
Burner
Auxiliary
(Ø
67
mm)
Semi-fast
(Ø
88 mm
)
Fast
(Ø
116 mm
)
Pan diameter
100 ÷ 120 mm
160 ÷ 220 mm
220 ÷ 240 mm
-
turn the burner to the minimum position (small flame, figure 1) when boiling point is reached;
-
always use a pan lid;
-
always use pans with a flat (not concave) bottom;
-
keep the flame within the perimeter of the pan;
-
do not use pans the protrude beyond the edges of the hob.
Cleaning the appliance
Parts must be cleaned and dismantled when the appliance is cold. Do not allow corrosive agents (e.g.: vinegar, coffee, salt water,
milk, lemon juice or tomato) to remain in prolonged contact with the surface of the appliance.
The pan stands and stainless steel accessories burnish when the appliance has been operating for a few minutes.
