Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table
beside) (Fig. 2).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or
oil, since these types of foodstuff can result
in a fire, if over-heated.

Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective materials,
which were put on in the factory.
Hob burners control knobs
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
1. push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to
"maximum position".
2. Hold a flame near the burner.
3. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the "crown" (Fig.
1, lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
•
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur
without the electrical device; in this case approach
the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob
down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
"maximum" position.
Do not keep the control knob pressed for more
than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light even after 15
seconds, release the control knob, turn it the
"off" position and wait for at least one minute
before trying to light the burner again.
