2.1 USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between
the knob and the burner.
Automatic start-up with valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame) and press
the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of
the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid that the flame
goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the
reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen
between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the
closing point.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob lockwise up to the closing position.
If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to
the start- up point (large flame).

Notice
- When the equipment is not working, always check that the knobs are in the closing position
(see figure).
- If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas
supply, after a few seconds. To restore operation, set the knob to the lighting point (large flame)
and press.
- While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as these substances can catch fire when
overheated.
- Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation.
- Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burner, to prevent them from overturning or
overflowing.
- Make sure that pot handles are placed properly.
-
When the burner is started up, check that the flame is regular and, before taking pots away,
always lower the flame or put it out.
2.2 CLEANING
Before any operation, disconnect the appliance from the electric grid. It is advisable to clean the
appliance when it is cold.
Glass platform and enamelled parts
The glass platform and all of the enamelled parts must be washed with a sponge and soapy
water or with a light detergent.
