Operation
Remove the plastic covering used to protect the
stainless steel before using the appliance (depending
on the model). If any traces of adhesive remain on the
printed areas, remove them with a wet cloth.
There are indications to show which burner each
control knob operates.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan
supports are correctly installed for the appliance to
work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around.
Switching on automatically
If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1.
Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks
are produced on all burners. The flame ignites.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press
and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10
seconds).
:
Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off
the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at
least one minute before trying to switch the burner back
on.
Safety system
Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if
the burners accidentally switch off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Switch on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
Power levels
The progressive control knobs can be used to control
the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean
them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in
mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.
Use “Large” setting to bring the pan to the boil, then
adjust the flame between “Large flame” and “Economy
flame” to maintain the required pan temperature.
Important:
The use of a cooktop leads to the production of heat
and moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure
