immediately by turning the knob to "off" position and call Assistance Service.
- If the particular nature of the local gas supply makes it difficult to ignite the burners
with the knob turned to the maximum setting, repeat the operation without a pan in
position and with the knob turned to the minimum setting and without pan stands
- Warning: The ignition device must not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after this length of time the
burner does not light, or if it goes out again accidentally, wait 1 minute before trying to ignite it again
Grids
The panstand grids are designed to make the appliance easy and safe to use.
Always check if the panstand grids are properly positioned before using the appliance.
Furthermore, always check if the protective rubber feet are all present and correctly positioned
Grid for small pots or pans (optional - fig.1)
This is placed on top of the auxiliary burner grid (the smallest one) when pots or pans of reduced
diameter are used, to avoid unbalancing.
Choosing the right burner
The symbols stamped on the control panel (fig.2) near the knobs indicate which knob correspond
to which burner. To choose the most suitable burner, take into account the diameter of
the pan as well as the pan capacity (see table).
The diameter of the pan must be proportionate to the burner power in order to ensure high yield.
