Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the
etched star (large flame) and then press the knob down to activate the spark ignition. Once ignited, keep
pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner does not
remain alight after releasing the knob repeat the above procedure,
Note:
Dual burner is composed by two burner (inside and outside); each one operates under the relative gas valve
indipendently from the other one.
Note:
It is recommended not to try to ignite the burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position
Tips for using burners correctly:
WARNING: During use of each gas burner(s) adjust the burner flame size properly so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This is an instruction based on safety considerations
- Use suitable pots for each burner (see Fig. 14 and Table B)
- When the liquid is boiling, turn down the knob to the MINIMUM position.
- Always use pots with a cover.

Correct usage of pans:
- Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hotplate.
- Use pots with a flat, thick bottom, except for wok cooking.
- When using the burners, ensure that the handles of the pans are correctly positioned. Keep children away
from the appliance.
- When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance
unattended.
WARNING:
If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches.
The burners equipped with a safety thermocouple can only be lit when the knob is in the MAXIMUM position
(large flame etching).
Note:
The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
Therefore, proper ventilation in the room is needed and natural ventilation openings must remain
unobstructed and activating the mechanical exhaust fan/range hood. Intensive and continuous use of the
appliance may require additional ventilation, for example by opening a window, or increasing the power of
the mechanical exhaust fan/range hood, if installed.
Cleaning the appliance:
Never use abrasive cleaners
Before cleaning the appliance it should be disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning the work surface: periodically clean the burner heads, the enamelled steel pan supports and the
burner caps using warm water.
Any spillage must always be removed as soon as possible using a rag.
If it become difficult to open or close a valve, do not force it, but immediately request the assistance
of the technical service personnel.
Cleaning the enamelled parts:
Enamelled parts should be cleaned frequently with soapy water. Never use
abrasive powder. Do not leave acidic or alkaline substances on the enamelled parts (such as vinegar, lemon
juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc.) and do not wash the enamelled parts while they are still hot.
Cleaning the stainless steel parts: Clean the parts with soapy water and dry them with a soft cloth. The shine
is maintained by periodically using suitable products which can be found in the supermarket. Never use
abrasive powders.
Cleaning the burner caps:
Lift the burner caps from the burner heads and wash them in soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Before replacement on the burner head ensure that the holes are not clogged.
