7 USING THE HOB

Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burner rings, caps and grids have been fitted correctly.

In the wok burner, notch A must be aligned with pin B.

Grid C provided is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).

Adapter D comes only with open grids models and is intended for use with small sized vessels.

7.1Ignition of the burners

The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise on the high flame symbol, until the burner is ignited. In models with safety valve, the knob has to be turned to the ignition symbol before it is pressed, and after ignition the knob has to be kept pressed for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device

The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.

Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet even if the cock is open.

7.2Practical advice for using the burners

For better burner performance and minimum gas

consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be used, with covers and proportional in size to the burners (see paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”).

To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top while cooking, all recipients or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs.
