Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following
settings using the corresponding control knob:
• Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter
near the burner and, at the same time, press down
and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the
maximum setting.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 6 seconds
to allow the automatic device keeping the flame alight
to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the
desired burner by first pressing the gas burners
button (identifiable by the symbol), then pressing
down the corresponding knob as far as possible and
turning it anticlockwise towards the maximum setting.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).
Electric hotplates*
The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or
anti-clockwise and set to six different positions:
Setting Normal or Fast Plate

2 - 5 Medium
6 High
When the selector knob is in any position other than
the off position, the ‘on’ light comes on.
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond
the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a
cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.

! Before using the hotplates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans
on them. During this initial stage, their protective
coating hardens and reaches its maximum
resistance.
