Start-up and use
!
The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power adjustment that allows
for accurately adjusting the flame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing the same cooking results
for each recipe, as the optimal power level for the desired type of cooking can
be identified in an easier, more accurate way.
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.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing
down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.
!
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(.
Discrete flame adjustment
The selected burner can be adjusted - by means of the knob - to 5 different
power levels.
To shift between levels, simply turn the knob
towards the desired power level.
A click signals the passage from one power
level to the other.The selected power level
is indicated by the corresponding symbol
(symbols
) and, on hobs equipped with
a display, by the LEDs that turn on )5 = max.
power; 1 = min. power(. The system guarantees accurate flame adjustment
and uniform cooking results by facilitating selection of the desired power level.
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 75 cm hobs
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.
