Using the Hob
The Hob Burners
The symbol on the knob corresponds to a symbol
on the control panel (See description of
appliance).
Off
Maximum level
Minimum level
Use the maximum level for boiling and the
minimum for simmering.
Always choose positions between the minimum
and maximum, never between maximum and off.
Ignition of the burners
•
Push the knob and turn it left to the symbol “big
flame”.
•
At the same time, push the electronic ignition
knob (see fig). Keep it pushed until the gas
ignites (1 spark / second).
Or by power cut
Push the corresponding knob in completely
and turn it left to the symbol “big flame” and
ignite with a match.
•
Release the knob after 10 seconds and watch
that the burner has ignited (until the safety
valve automatically keeps the burner lit).
•
Upon ignition, adjust the flame as required.
If for any reason the flame should extinguish
turn off the relevant control knob, leave for at
least one minute and then re-ignite.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner ring and its cap are
correctly positioned.
Extinguishing of burners
Turn the knob clockwise to mark « ».
Electric Hotplate
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 – 6
0 – OFF
1 – Minimum
6 – Maximum.
We recommend the plate is switched to maximum
(6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
It is important to note that the hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear
after some time.
