INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force.
The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the
installer.
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the
knob indicate the correspondence between the knob
and the burner.
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), to avoid the flames around the bottom of the
pot (fig. 2). Use the maximum capacity to quickly
make liquids reach the boiling temperature, and use
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 startup 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.
•
Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation.
•
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the
burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or
overflowing.
•
Make sure that pot handles are placed properly.
•
When the burner is started up, check that the flame
is regular and, before taking pots away, always lower
the flame or put it out.

Before any operation, disconnect the appliance from
the electric grid. It is advisable to clean the appliance
when it is cold.

Burners and racks
These parts can be removed to make cleaning easier.
The burners must be washed with a sponge and
soapy water or with a light detergent, wiped well and
placed in their housing perfectly. Make sure that the
flame-dividing ducts are not clogged. Check that the
feeler of the safety valve and the

always perfectly cleaned, so as to ensure an optimum
operation.
