HOW TO USE YOUR HOB
Gas burners
On the control panel, the following symbols are indicated around each knob "M".
Off
High flame
Low flame
The symbols 
near the knobs indicate the position of each burner on the hob.
The burners are fitted with a flame failure device. This device interrupts the gas supply should the burner flame go out during operation.
To light one of the burners, proceed as follows:
•turn the appropriate control knob
•press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas ignition.
•keep the knob pressed down for about 6 seconds with the flame lit to allow the flame failure device to heat.
•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 simply setting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.
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 flame failure device is activated. 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.
•When the appliance is not in operation, check that all
control knobs are set to the off position "
". The main gas supply tap should also be turned off.
Practical advice on using the hob:
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, we recommend you only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base (see the following table).
When a liquid starts boiling, we recommend you turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.
BURNER | O Pan Diameter (cm) | ||
A. Auxiliary | 6 | - | 14 |
B. | 15 | - | 20 |
C. Rapid | 21 | - | 26 |
D. Triple ring | 24 | - | 26 |

The hob is fitted with a reducing pan stand (shown right) which should only be used on the auxiliary burner 'A'.
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following in mind:
All types of pans can be used on the burners. The important thing is that the bottom should be completely flat.
