Start-up and use

!

 The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.

Gas burners

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the 

corresponding control knob:

● 

Off

 Maximum

 Minimum

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at 

the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise 

to the maximum setting.

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed 

for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the 

flame alight to heat up.

Models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control knob. To 

light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn 

it anti-clockwise to the “High” setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.

!

 If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for 

at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops 

(when reaches the “●” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

•  Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames 

do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•  Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

•  When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

Burner

Pans to be used on 60 cm hobs

Ø Cookware diameter (cm)

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner 

and Nozzle Specifications”.

•  For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are 

correctly fitted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.

•  Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on 

the pan support grid.

•  Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge 

of the hob. 

The more variable aspect in terms of pan 

stability can often be the pan itself, (or 

the positioning of that pan during use). 

Well balanced pans, with flat bases that 

are placed centrally over the burner, 

with the pan handles aligned with one 

of the support fingers obviously offer the 

greatest stability.
