Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing
the strength of the flame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction so that it is pointing to the maximum flame
setting
.
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired level by
turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction.
This may be the minimum setting
, the maximum setting
or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting
device* (
see fi gure
), press the ignition button, marked
with the symbol
, then hold
the BURNER knob down and turn
it in an anticlockwise direction,
towards the maximum flame
setting, until the burner is lit.The
burner may be extinguished
when the knob is released. If
this occurs, repeat the operation,
holding the knob down for a longer period of time.
!
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the
burner and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting
to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure
safety device*, press and hold the BURNER knob for
approximately 2-3 seconds to keep the flame alight and
to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the
stop position

Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way possible
and to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is
recommended that only pans that have a lid and a flat
base are used. They should also be suited to the size of
the burner.
Flame adjustment according to levels
The burner flame intensity can be adjusted with the knob
according to 6 power levels, from maximum to minimum
with 4 intermediate positions:
Start-up and use
a click will indicate the change from one level to another
when turning the knob. The system guarantees a more
precise adjustment, allows to replicate the flame intensity
and to identify easily the preferred level for different
cooking operations.
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the diagrams
contained in the “Burner and nozzle specifications”.

On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember
that this should be used only for the auxiliary burner when
you use casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.
WARNING! The glass lid can break in if it
is heated up. Turn off all the burners and
the electric plates before closing the lid.

only.
Using the oven
!
The first time you use your
appliance, heat the empty oven
with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an
hour. Ensure that the room is
well ventilated before switching
the oven off and opening the
oven door. The appliance may
emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.
!
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
Lighting the oven
To light the oven burner, bring a flame or gas lighter close
to opening F (
see fi gure
) and press the OVEN control
knob while turning it in an anticlockwise direction until it
reaches the MAX position.
