How To Use Your Hob
Gas burners
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.
The burner can be regulated with the corresponding control knob "M" by using one of the following settings:
Off |
|
High flame |
|
Low flame |
|
The symbols ( | ) near the knobs show the position |
of the relative burner on the hob.
The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and flame failure device, which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally
goes out during operation.
To ignite a burner proceed as follows:
•turn the knob
•press the relevant knob down fully to activate the automatic gas ignition.
•keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the flame failure device to be heated.
•release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off
position "
" .
Important:
•Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than 15 consecutive seconds.
•Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas duct.
•If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues to exit for a few moments before the flame failure device activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
•When you are not using the gas hob, check that the
knobs are in the off position "
". The main gas supply is turned off..
