INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

HOB OPERATION

The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and a thermocouple safety device, which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out during operation.

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used. Each burner can be regulated with the corresonding 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.

To ignite a burner, proceed as follows:

•turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on the high-flame symbol;

•press the knob down fully and activate the automatic gas ignition by pushing at the same time the button "P" marked with the symbol ;

•keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple 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 simply 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 safety 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 the appliance is not in operation, check that the

knobs are in the off position "" . The main gas supply cut-off cock should also be closed.

Using the burners

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable to only use pans with a diameter suitable for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the pan base (see following table).

Burner	Diameter of the pan in cm.
Auxiliary A	from 6 to 14
Semi-rapid B	from 15 to 20
Rapid C	from 21 to 30
Triple ring D	from 24 to 30

When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

The hob is fitted with a pan reducing support (fig.1), which should only be used on the auxiliary burner "A"

After having selected the heat source, put the thermostat

knob "H" (marked with the symbol ) onto the temperature required.

•For traditional cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in
