USING BURNERS
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. The burners
can be ignited in different ways depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics:
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Turn the knob counterclockwise that corresponds
to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig.17A-17B-17C) and place a lit
match up to the burner.
- Electric ignition: Turn the knob counterclockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position
(large flame Fig. 17A-17B-17C) and keep on pressing the knob in correspondence of the ignition symbol marked with a star (for
cookers equipped with ignition trough knob) or press the ignition button marked with a star and release it as soon as the burner
has ignited.
- Burner ignition equipped with safety device (thermocouple)(fig.16): Press and turn the knob counterclockwise that
corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig. 17A-17B-17C), press
the knob and activate one of the above-mentioned ignition devices. Once ignited, keep pressing the knob for about 10 seconds
to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner goes out after releasing the knob, repeat the entire operation.
Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite a burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position.
Tips for using burners correctly:
- Use suitable pots for each burner (see tab. 5 and Fig.19).
- When the liquid is boiling, turn the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame Fig. 17A-17B-17C).
- Always use pots with a cover.

WARNING: Use flat-bottomed containers
WARNING: After cleaning, make sure head “B” and covers “A” are properly placed on their seat as figure 18A and not
off-center as in figure 18B
WARNING: If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches. When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are
very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended. If the appliance is equipped with a
glass cover, such a cover may break when heated. Turn off all burners before lowering the cover. Do not
use sprays near the appliance when it is being used.
When using the burners, make sure that the handles of the pots are correctly positioned. Keep children
away from the appliance. If equipped with a cover, before being closed, any food deposits should be
cleaned off the built-in surface.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Therefore,
proper aeration in the room is needed while ensuring that natural ventilation openings remain unobstructed.
Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional aeration, for example by opening a
window, or more efficient aeration by increasing the power of the mechanical exhauster, if installed.
USING HOT PLATES
These plates are controlled by a switch with 6 settings (see Fig.20A-20B). The plates are turned on by turning the knob to the
desired position. The front panel of the appliance is etched with a mark indicating what plate corresponds to the knob. A light,
which is also installed on the control panel turns on, indicating that the plate is on.
How to use a hot plate:
When a hot plate is used for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, it is recommended to use it on position 1 for about
30 minutes to eliminate any humidity absorbed by the internal insulating material.
As example, we have included a table with the adjustments needed to ensure proper use of the hot plates.
WARNING: When a hot plate is used for the first time or after a long period of inactivity, it is
necessary to use it on position 1 for about 30 minutes to eliminate any humidity absorbed by the
insulating material.
TABLE N°6
PLATE POSSIBLE COOKING METHODS
0 Plate off
1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc. - To heat small amounts of liquid
2 To heat larger quantities of liquid - To prepare creams and sauces that required extended cooking
3 To defrost foods, cook at boiling temperature
4 To cook roasts with delicate meat and fish
5 For meat roasts and steaks, for large pieces of boiled meat
6 To boil large quantities of water, for frying.
To ensure correct use, remember the following:
- Dry the bottom of the pot before placing it on the plate.
- Use pots with a flat and thick bottom (see Fig. 21).
- Never use pots that are smaller than the plate.
- Turn on the plate only after the pot has been placed on top.
- As soon as a crack appears on the surface of the hot plate, immediately turn off the appliance.
- If the appliance is equipped with a glass cover, it may break when heated.
- Turn off all the plates before closing the cover.
