LIGHTING GAS BURNERS (FITTED WITH SAFETY CUT-OFF VALVE)

In order to light the burner, you must:

1 – Turn the knob fig. 17 in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture, push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas. If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.

2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gaslights before releasing the knob (starting time for the valve).

3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position "0", wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If after relighting the burner, the flame is still abnormal, turn the burner off and contact our Customer Service Centre to obtain the nearest authorized Delonghi Service Agent.

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS

■The burners are different sizes, and can be used in different ways.

■The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest for stews and sauces.

■Always ensure that you use the correct size of saucepan.

■For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer to boil.

■For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
