How To Use Your Appliance

The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric hot plate (if present) is indicated on each control knob.

Gas Burners

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.

The burner can be regulated with the corresonding control knob by using one of the following settings:

•Off

High

Low

To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and turn it anti-clockwise to the "High" setting.

On those models fitted with a safety device (F), the knob must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the device that keeps the flame lit warms up.

On those models fitted with an ignitor (D), the "E"

ignition button, identified by the symbol, must first be pressed and then the corresponding knob pushed all the way in and turned anti-clockwise to the "High" setting.

Some models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the ignitor (D) is present, but not the "E" button.

To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.

Caution: If the burner accidently goes out, turn off the gas on the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before you try to to light it again.

To turn off a burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops (it should be on the “•” setting).

The “separate double flame” burner (only on some models)

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.

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 operates the external burner;
