It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by authorised personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force. The specific instructions are described in the
booklet section intended for the installer.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob
indicate the correspondence between the knob and the
burner.
Start-up without valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Automatic start-up with valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob
pressed for about 6 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of
gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable
for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to
avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids
reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity
to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating
positions must be chosen between the maximum and the
minimum ones, never between the minimum position and
the closing point.

The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob
clockwise up to the closing position. If there is no power
supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches,
setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1).

Notice
When the equipment is not working, always check that
the knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1).
If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety
valve will automatically stop the gas supply, after a
few seconds. To restore operation, set the knob to the
lighting point (large flame, fig. 1) and press.
While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as
these substances can catch fire when overheated.
