6 USING THE HOB

6.1Lighting the hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners, ensure that the flame spreaders are in their housings with their caps, and check that the gaps A in the flame spreaders correspond with the lighters and thermocouples. Before lighting the burners, lift the glass cover; before reclosing it, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool.

Where necessary, rack B should be used for woks.

In order to avoid damage to the hob, we have provided the cooking range with a raised rack C to be used under cookware with a diameter greater than 26 cm.

The small cookware rack C provided must also be used for small cookware.

The relevant burner is indicated above each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic spark device. All you have to do is press in the knob and turn

it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until the flame lights. Keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to enable the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Repeat the process and keep the knob pressed in for a longer period. This process is not necessary for burners which do not have a thermocouple.

On models equipped with a thermocouple, if the burners go out accidentally, a safety device will block the escape of gas even if the tap is open. Before lighting the burners, lift the glass cover; before reclosing it, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool.

6.2Practical advice for the use of the hob burners

To ensure the maximum yield and minimum gas consumption of the burners, you will need to use cookware with a lid and with a size in proportion to the burner, in order to ensure that the flame does not go up the sides of the container (see paragraph “6.3 Cookware diameter”). When boiling point is reached, reduce the flame to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. To avoid burning the hob or getting it dirty, all cookware or baking trays must be kept within the hob surface while cooking is under way. All cookware must have a flat, even base. It is important to be very careful when using fats or oil as they may catch fire if they overheat. If the flame is extinguished accidentally, turn the knob to the off setting and try to relight the burner after waiting at least 1 minute.
