6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame-spreader crowns are located in their housing with their respective caps. Ensure that flame- spreader holes A correspond to the spark plugs and the thermocouples. Grid B should be used for Chinese wok type pans.

Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. The appliance is equipped with an electronic lighting device. Just press and turn the knob

anticlockwise to the maximum flame symbol until the burner lights. Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat up. If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob pressed longer.

Should the burners go out by accident a safety device intervenes to block gas supply even with the tap open.

6.2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners

For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph “6.3 Diameter of containers”). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don’t overheat and catch fire.

If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.
