Use and Maintenance
Igniting the burners
1. Make sure that the knobs are in their correct
position.
2. Turn on the gas at the mains or turn the gas
cylinder’s tap.
3. Put a flame or spark to the burner if you do not
have automatic ignition.
4. Press the control knob and at the same time
turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum position
(the big flame, “C”). The burner will now come
on at full power; then, if you wish, you can turn
the knob to the minimum position (the small
flame, “D”).
With hob models that have automatic ignition and
the safety feature, proceed as follows:
1. Press down the burner control.
2. Press the control knob and at the same time
turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum position
(the big flame, “C”. The burner will now come
on at full power; then, if you wish, you can turn
the knob to the minimum position (the small
flame, “D”).
3. Set the control to the position required.
In order for the automatic ignition system to work
properly, it is vital that the ignition (the ceramic and
the electrode) is cleaned regularly and carefully -
this will avoid ignition problems. Check, too, that
the grooves in the burners have not become
obstructed.
On the control panel, areas are marked (A) that
show the control for each burner.
Use flat-bottomed pans and check that they sit
squarely on the grid, so that when food boils the
pan does not slip (do not use pans with a concave
or convex base).
Only pans with a minimum diameter of 140 mm
should be used.
Anti-accidental turn system on gas
controls
Models without the safety system (without
the gas cut-off device), the gas taps are equipped
with a mechanical system that prevents the
controls from being freely turned from the off
position to the on position (and, therefore,
prevents any accidental escape of gas from the
burners) if the control has not previously been
pressed down.
If at any time while using the hob you
notice that a control can be turned from the off
position without it needing to be pressed down
beforehand (for example: due to dirt which
may have got into the gas taps and built up
there) you should, for your own safety, get
quickly in touch with technical assistance in
order to resolve this fault.
Safety system components
On hobs with the safety feature (those models
which have the letters AL), the gas cut-off device
is made up of these elements:
The safety tap.
The safety thermocouple, next to the burner.
The thermocouple-tap connection.
