3.1. USING THE COOKING HOB
Gas burners
The burners, depending on the model can be ignited: manually or electronically with either a
push
button or automatic ignition incorporated in the burner tap depending on the model you
have
purchased.
Manual ignition:
rotate the burner knob to be used to the maximum position, indicated by the
signal
and at the same time use a match close to the burner.
Two handed electronic ignition:
after turning the knob to the maximum
position press the button marked with the symbol on the front
control panel
Electronic automatic ignition incorporated in the knob:
turn the knob to
the maximum position
press
down and the burner automatically lights up.
No gas supply (knob turned off)
Maximum gas supply A
Minimum gas supply
To obtain minimum supply, rotate the knob in an anti-clockwise direction
and point the indicator to the small flame
.
Safety device,
once the burner is on, keep the knob pressed for at least 5
seconds and then release it, the burner remains alight due to the
thermocouple (point a), which keeps the gas flow open through the safety
valve, which shuts off the gas flow should the burner go out accidentally.
Burner performance,
in correspondence with the "medium and small"
burners, various pans can be used with a minimum diameter of 120 mm.
The pans must not have concave or convex bottoms, but be perfectly fiat
as given in below image for optimum performance of the burners. Use saucepans as shown below, i.e.
sufficient diameter so that the flame does not go beyond the edge of the pan. It is also advisable, when
the liquid starts boiling, to reduce the flame as far as possible, but keeping the liquid at boiling point.
For safety reasons, we recommend using pans with the following diameters to use
on the various
burners
- Auxiliary (1000W) 120+180 mm
- Semi-rapid (1750W) 120+220 mm
- Rapid (3000W) 180+280 mm
- Triple crown (3900W) 240+330 mm
