Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner or
electric hotplate is shown on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the
following settings using the corresponding control
knob:
•
When the appliance is not in operation,
check that the knobs are in the off
position. The main gas supply cut-off
cock should also be closed.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction until it stops (when it reaches
the “0” position)
N.B. - we recommend the use of pots and pans
with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus
preventing the flame from escaping from the
bottom part and surrounding the pot.
- do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire
- do not use any tools for grilling-cooking on
Crystal hobs.
When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to
close the main gas pipe tap and cylinder.

To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:
•
turn the relative knob counter-clockwise
until the pointer is on the high-flame
symbol;
•
press the knob down fully to activate the
automatic gas ignition ;
•
keep the knob pressed down for about 10
seconds with the flame lit to allow the
safety thermocouple to be heated;
•
release the knob, checking that the flame
is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low
flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible
by putting the knob anywhere between the high
and the low flame symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to
the off position.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the
“0” position).
Important:
•
Do not activate the automatic ignition
device for more than 15 consecutive
seconds.
•
Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to
air inside the gas duct.
•
if a burner flame accidentally goes out,
the gas continues to exit for a few
moments before the safety device
activates. Turn the control knob to the off
position and do not attempt ignition again
for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the
gas disperse, which could otherwise be a
danger.
