8 USING THE HOB

Check that the flame crowns, the burner caps and grids are correctly assembled. Pins A of the flame crowns must be inserted in housings

B of the burner rings, and pins C on the grids must be blocked in their respective housings on the hob.

8.1 Ignition of the burners

The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise on the low flame symbol , until the burner is ignited.

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.

8.2 Practical advice for using the burners

For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, flat

bottomed, even pans must be used, with covers and proportional in

size to the burners (see paragraph “8.3 Diameter of pans”).

To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top while cooking,

all pans or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must be at a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the

knobs.
