5.USING THE HOB

5.1Gas hob

Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples.

Before using the electric plates or the barbecue (if included) for the first time, pre-heat them to the maximum temperature long enough to burn off any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad smell.

The pan stand B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the cooker hob, it comes complete with a raised pan stand C. This must be placed under pans with a diameter bigger than those indicated in the table in point "5.3 Pan diameters". The pan stand C must never be used on the ultra- rapid burner.

The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.

On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for a longer time. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as needed. Always check that the control knobs are in the (off) position when you finish using the hob.

If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.
