Start-up and use

!The position of the corresponding gas burner or

GB

electric hotplate* is shown on every knob.

 

Gas burners

 

 

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following

 

settings using the corresponding control knob:

 

Off

 

 

 

Maximum

 

 

 

Minimum

 

 

To light a burner, simply press the corresponding

 

knob all the way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to

 

the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the

 

burner lights.

 

 

On those models fitted with a safety device, the knob

 

must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the

 

device that keeps the flame lit warms up.

 

! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the

 

control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before

 

trying to relight it.

 

 

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise

 

direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).

 

The “separate double flame” burner*

 

This burner consists of two concentric burners which

 

can operate either together or separately.

 

Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives

 

a very high power which reduces cooking times with

 

respect to conventional burners.

 

 

Moreover the double flame crown provides a more

 

uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan,

 

when using both burners on minimum.

 

To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to

 

its full potential, never set the inside ring to

 

minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the

 

same time.

 

 

Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of

 

the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of

 

only the internal burner.

 

 

There is a separate control knob for each of the

 

“separate double flame” burners.

 

 

The knob marked by the symbol

operates the

 

external burner;

 

 

The knob marked by the symbol

operates the

 

internal burner.

 

 

To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in

all the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting Gas burners. The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the knob is pressed in.

Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up. The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as follows:

Off

Maximum

Minimum

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
