Having completed the procedures described above (for each of the racks), the hob will
be as shown below, with the rack legs arranged in a pattern of horizontal and vertical
lines.
If you find that a pan is particularly unstable, make sure that the racks have not
been positioned incorrectly.
7.2
Lighting the burners using a safety device
Beside each knob, the burner it controls is indicated (the example to the left
corresponds to the front left burner).
The appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and
simultaneously turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until it lights. Hold
down the knob for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety
device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. If this happens, repeat the
procedure, holding the knob down for longer.
When the burner is lit, the relevant activation knob will light up to indicate this. The
knob will turn off a few seconds after it is turned to the O position or if the burner goes
out accidentally. The knob light turns on and off gradually.
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds the safety device will
be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open.
7.3
Practical tips for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, pans with
flat, even bases and with lids should be used, and their size should be in
proportion to the burner (see “7.5 Pan diameters”).
During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the hob top, all pans
or griddles must be positioned inside the outer edge of the hob and at a
minimum distance of
5-7 cm
must be maintained from the knobs.
