No gas supply (knob turned off)
Minimum gas supply
Maximum gas supply
5.1 Using the cooking hob
Gas burners
Automatic electronic ignition built into the knob:
turn the knob to the maximum position push it
in and the burner lights up automatically.
To obtain minimum supply, turn the knob in
an anti-clockwise direction until the indicator
points 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 that keeps the gas flow by means
of a safety valve, which shuts off the gas flow
should the burner go out accidentally.
Burner performance: a variety of pans with a
minimum diameter of 120 mm can be used on
the “medium and small” burners.
The pans must not have concave or convex
bottoms, but be perfectly flat as shows in figure.
For optimum performance, use the saucepans
shown in figure, i.e. the flames must not stay
beyond the bottom of the pan.
When a liquid starts boiling, lower the flame as
much as possible, but keep it on the boil.
For safety reasons, we recommend using pans
with the following diameters on the various
burners(see tables).
