HOB: GENERAL NOTES ON SAFETY
• When using the burners, do not leave the appliance
unsupervised. Ensure that children and the infi rm
do not play with the appliance. In particular, make
sure that pan handles are positioned correctly and
supervise the cooking of foods which use oils and
fats, as these are highly infl ammable.
• Do not use aerosols or sprays near the appliance
when it is in use.
• Even after use, the burners remain hot for a long
period; to avoid burning, do not place hands or
other objects on them.
• After using the appliance, ensure that all the controls
are in the closed or off position.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION OF COOKTOP
BURNERS
Push lightly the knob (ref. A) which corresponds to
burner to be ignited and turn anti clockwise to the
“
Full On”
position, then depress the control knob.
Automatically the ignition spark shoots. If there is no
electric power the burner may be lit with matches.
OPTIMUM USE OF COOKTOP BURNERS
In order to achieve maximum effi ciency with minimum
gas consumption it is useful to remember:
• Do not use large burners with pans of small diameter
in order to avoid fl ames spreading wider than pans
(consult the following table) and always use pans
with lids (see fi g. 3).
• When the boiling point is reached, it is best to turn
the knob to the “
Low position”
.
• Avoid using over sized pans that may radiate
excessive heat and cause damage to surrounding
surfaces such as bench tops and glass lid.
• The appliance is equipped with a particular central
pan support (1) on which must be put the wok
support (2). To ensure stability, position the notch
(A) of wok support on the pan support fi ngers as
indicated in fi g. 4.
• Do not place anything, e.g. fl ame tamer, asbestos
mat, between pan and pan support, as serious
damage to the appliance may result (fi g. 5).
• Locate pan centrally over the burner so that is stable
and does not overhang the appliance (fi g. 6).
• If gas burns with a yellow fl ame, do not continue to
use burner and arrange for service.
• Do not use burners without the proper pan support
or wok stand, as this will concentrate and defl ect
the heat onto the hotplate (fi g. 7) and surrounding
surfaces.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
• Use only a wok support supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer of the appliance (fi g. 8).
