WORK-TOP USE
FIRST PART
USING GAS BURNERS
The following symbols are on the control panel next to each knob:
- Black circle
gas off
- Large flame
maximum setting
- Small flame
minimum setting
The minimum position is at the end of the anti-clockwise rotation
of the knob. All operation positions must be chosen between the
positions of max. and min., never choose them between max. and
off.
MANUAL IGNITION
To turn on a burner, approach a match to it, press the knob
corresponding to the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to
the minimum position.
ELECTRIC IGNITION (optional)
To turn on a burner, press the knob corresponding to the selected
burner and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum position;
simultaneously pressing the electric ignition button on the control
panel marked with symbol .
In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be lighted
using a match.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION (optional)
To turn on a burner, press the knob corresponding to the selected
burner and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum position. Keeping
the knob pressed, the electric automatic ignition of the burner will
be started up.
In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be lighted
using a match.
APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE (optional)
Follow the same procedure described above to ignite the burners.
In this case, however, once you have turned the knob to the open
setting, hold it pressed in for 10 seconds.
If for any reason the burner flame goes out, the safety valve
automatically shuts off the gas supply to the burner in question.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The diameter of the pan bottom should be the same as that of
the burner. The burner flame must never come out from the pans
diameter.
• Use flat-bottomed pans only.
• Whenever possible, keep a lid on the pan while cooking.
You will not need as much heat.
• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with as little water as possible
to reduce cooking times.
Fig.1
USING ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
When using an electric hotplate for the first time or after a long
period of disuse, turn the knob to 1 and let it heat for about 20
minutes to eliminate any possible moisture absorbed by the internal
insulating material.
- Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hotplate.
- Turn the hotplate on only after placing the pan on it.
The hotplate is controlled by a commutator. Turn the knob until
position 1 to turn the hotlplate on. A warning light on the control
panel will inform you if the plate is on or off.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The diameter of the saucepan must be the same or slightly larger
than that of the electric hotplate. Never use a pan which is smaller
than the electric hotplate.
• Use flat-bottomed pans only.
• Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
• Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.
CERAMIC WORK-TOP
The work-top is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and
power. The positions are clearly marked. The heating occurs only
within the diameters marked on the work-top.
For efficient cooking and energy saving, it is essential to use only
suitable saucepans.
Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can
scratch the ceramic surface. Before use, make sure that pan
bottoms are clean and dry.
Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone they
are used on.
When cold, pan bottoms should be slightly concave, as they
expand when they are hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob.
This transfers the heat best.
The best thickness for pan bottoms is 2-3 mm in case of enamelled
steel and 4-6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
There is a simple way of checking whether the pan bottom is of
the right shape (when cold).
Rest the middle of the bottom at an angle against the straight
edge of a table and slip a few strips of typing paper between them.
As a guide five to ten pieces of paper is correct for enamelled
steel pans and two to five strips for stainless steel (the higher
number applies to the larger sizes of pan).

If the appliance is foreseen to operate with a type of gas different
from the suitable supply gas, proceed as follows: change the
injectors, adjust the minimum flow of the burners, change the
push-on connector.
In order to change the work-top injectors, it is necessary to act as
follows: remove the grids, remove burners and flame-spreaders
(see fig.A), change the injector (see fig.B) and replace it with
another one suitable for the new type of gas (see table D). Re-
assemble everything in the opposite direction, paying attention to
place the flame-spreader in the right way on the burner.

To change the oven injector, it is necessary to act as follows: open
the oven door, remove the lower side of the oven (see fig.C),
unscrew screw C and disassemble the oven burner (see fig.D).
Change the injector (see fig.E) and replace it with another one
suitable for the new gas type (see table D).
Re-assemble everything in the opposite direction, paying attention
to place the burner in the right way on its rear slot.
To change the grill injector, it is necessary to act as follows: open
the oven door, unscrew screw C and disassemble the grill burner
(see fig.F). Change the injector (see fig.G) and replace it with
another one suitable for the new gas type (see table D).
Re-assemble everything in the opposite direction, paying attention
to place the burner in the right way on its rear slot.
