Using the Hob
Hob burners
ΦTo light a burner:
λPush the electric ignition button which is marked with a little spark (
).
λAt the same time, push in and turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
λThen adjust the flame as required.
λIf the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
Burner | minimum | maximum |
| diameter | diameter |
|
| |
(triple crown) | 220 mm. | 260 mm. |
Medium | 120 mm. | 220 mm. |
Small (Auxiliary) | 80 mm. | 160 mm. |

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans having a diameter equal or higher than 50mm), place the special grid on the pan support, as shown in the diagram.
Triple-crown burner
Always ignite the burner before putting the pans on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned (see diagram).
