REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and then remo- ve the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).

Using a small « Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted as in Fig. 7. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise increases the flow ± Use this adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and then replace the control knob.

When the gas supply available is LPG (Bottle gas)- the screw to set the idle flame must be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating pla- te on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.

If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.

For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

•push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the H symbol.

•ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.

For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the H symbol. The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being pressed.

If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat the operation.

For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is acci- dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.

ATTENTION: Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur- ner caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVICE

For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as follows. See fig. pag. 11.

Hob type	Burner type	Ø pan / pot (cm)
E;H.	R/H front burner	12÷18
E;H.	L/H front burner	10÷18
E;H.	R/H rear burner	18÷24
E;H.	L/H rear burner	18÷24
E.	Central burner	24÷28
H.	Central radial plate CX	do not overhang the radiant plate

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.

WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi- tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.

To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing the lid down.

If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them. Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.

Warning use the electric ring/hotplate only after reading the paragraph related to choi- ce of pans specifically with reference to “Use of electric hotplates”.
