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:
Setting . . The burner is fitted with an
Electronic igniter that automatically starts when
the knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device,
after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in
for about 3-5 seconds to allow the device which
keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the
corresponding knob, as follows:
0
Off
0

Maximum

When using models with an ignition button, light
the desired burner by pressing down the
corresponding knob as far as possible and turning
it anticlockwise towards the maximum setting.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 3-5
seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
flame alight to heat up.
! 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).
The “separate double flame” burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners
which can operate either together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting
gives a very high power which reduces cooking
times with respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more
uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the
pan, when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to
its full potential, never set the inside ring to
minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the
same time. Pots and pans of all sizes can be used.
In the case of the smaller pots and pans we
recommend the use of only the internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the
“separate double flame” burners.
The knob marked by the symbol

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.
