1) TRADITIONAL BURNERS

On the surface of the hob, there is a serigraphic

figure above each knob, indicating the burner to

which the knob refers. After turning on the gas at

the main or opening the valve on the gas bottle,

light the burners as indicated below: 

- automatic electric ignition

Press the knob corresponding to the burner to use

and turn it clockwise to the “Maximum” position

(big flame fig. 1) pressing the knob right down.

- Lighting burners fitted with a safety cut-off

device

For burners fitted with a safety cut-off device,  turn

the knob corresponding to the burner to use anti-

clockwise to the “Maximum” position (big flame 

fig. 1) until it stops and then press the knob.

Continue pressing the knob for about 10 seconds

after the burner has been lit.

Should the flames accidentally go out, turn the

burner control knob off and wait at least 1 min befor

attempting to light it again. 

How to use the burners

To obtain maximum performance with minimum gas

consumption, remember the following:

- use suitable pans for each burner (see the table

below and fig. 2).

- When boiling point is reached, turn the knob to the

“Minimum” position (small flame fig. 1).

- Always use pans with lids.

“DUAL” burner:

separate regulation of the inner and outer rings (in

practical terms, a dual burner controlled by a single

knob), offering very flexible use thanks to the

possibility to light either the inner flame only or the

whole burner (inner and outer flame at the same

time).

LIGHTING AND USING THE “DUAL” BURNER

Stand the pan on the burner before lighting.

Despite being controlled by a single knob, the

“DUAL” burner can be used in two different ways.
A) - Using the complete burner:

starting from the off position ● You must first press

the knob, simultaneously turning it anti-clockwise,

until the indicator points to the maximum delivery

position 

obtaining the maximum flow capacity of

both flames.

When the flames are lit, keep the knob pressed for

a few seconds, until the device automatically keeps

the burner lit.

It is now possible to regulate the intensity of the

flame by turning the knob anti-clockwise (from the

maximum flow capacity position of the inner and

outer flames to the maximum flow capacity of the

inner flame and the minimum of the outer flame.

To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise,

realigning the indicator with the ● off symbol.

B) - Using the inner flame only:

after lighting the burner and regulating the inner

flame to maximum flow capacity and the outer

flame to minimum flow capacity as described

above, turn the knob anti-clockwise until it clicks

once. The inner flame is now at maximum flow

capacity while the outer flame is turned off.

Continue turning anti-clockwise to regulate the inner

flame to the minimum flow capacity.

Turning off:

to turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise,

realigning the indicator with the ● off symbol.
Once the “DUAL” burner is operating in either of the

two modes described, it is possible to swap from

one mode to the other by simply pressing and

turning the knob to the position required:
