USING THE COOKTOP
Gas burners
The delivery of gas to the burners is controlled by the knobs shown in fig. 4 that in turn control the
taps. The symbols, depending on the various versions, may be printed on the knobs or on the control
panel. By moving the indicator to coincide with the printed symbols, the following adjustments can be
made:
Tap closed, no gas delivery
Maximum capacity, maximum gas delivery
Minimum capacity, minimum gas delivery
Burner ignition
- Burners without safety valve
To light burners without electric ignition, or to light those with ignition during a power cut, place a
naked flame next to the top of the burner, press the corresponding knob down and turn anti-clockwise
until the symbol
coincides with the reference mark on the control panel.
For minimum gas delivery, turn the knob until the indicator points to the small flame.
The setting must always be positioned between the maximum and minimum, and never
between the maximum setting and the off position.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob clockwise to the position
“tap closed”
- Burners with electric ignition
™ Models with ignition switch
To light one of the burners, press the ignition switch and turn the corresponding knob to the maximum
delivery position (symbol

turning the knob to obtain the desired intensity.
™ Models with ignition incorporated in the control knobs
These models are identified by the symbol
next to the symbol ( Maximum delivery).
To light one of the burners, press the knob down and turn it to the maximum delivery position, holding

turned to the maximum setting, repeat the operation without a pan in position and with the knob turned
to the minimum setting.
- Burners with safety valves
Some models are equipped with safety valves which automatically shut off the gas delivery in the
