HOW TO USE THE HOB
VENTILATION
All gas cooking appliances produce heat and
moisture in the rooms where they are instal-
led. Take care to ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated; keep the ventilation openings
unobstructed or install an extractor hood
with fan. n case of intensive or prolonged
use, additional ventilation may be required;
open a window, or increase the extractor
fan power.
IGNITING THE HOB BURNERS
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise
until it reaches the symbol on the control
panel (maximum fl ame position);
- at the same time, move a burning match
towards the burner head;
- to reduce the fl ame, turn the knob further in
the same direction until its pointer is against
the symbol (minimum fl ame position).
FOR HOB BURNERS EQUIPPED WITH
SAFETY DEVICE
- Press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise
until it reaches the symbol on the control
panel (maximum fl ame position);
- move a burning match towards the burner,
keeping the knob pressed right dow for
about 10 seconds;
- then release the knob and check that the
burner remains on. Otherwise, repeat the
operation.
SAFETY DEVICE
Burners equipped with this device have the
advantage that they are protected if they
accidentally go out. If this occurs, the supply
of gas to the burner concerned is automati-
cally cut off, preventing the hazards deriving
from a leak of unburnt gas: no more than
90 seconds must pass after the fl ame has
gone out.
FOR HOBS WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION
All the instructions given above apply, except
that instead of matches, burners are lit by a
spark, obtained by keeping the button on the
control panel pressed.
Ignition will be even easier if there is a pan
on the burner.
If electronic ignition is diffi cult with some
types of gas, set the knob on the low (small
fl ame) setting.
IMPORTANT:
- Diffi culty in igniting burners is normal if the
hob has been out of use for some time. The
air accumulated in the pipes will be expelled
in a few seconds;
- Never allow too much unburnt gas to fl ow
from the burners. If ignition is not achieved
within a relatively short time, repeat the
procedure after returning the knob to the
off position ( );
HOW TO USE THE HOB BURNERS
Use pans of diameter suitable for the burner
type. The fl ames must not project beyond the
base of the pan. Recommended sizes:
- for auxiliary burners = pans of at least 8
cm
- for semi-rapid burners = pans of at least 14
cm
- for rapid burners = pans of at least 22 cm.
N.B.: Never keep the knob at settings
between the maximum fl ame symbol and
the off position
( ) .
FOR HOBS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC
HOTPLATES
The different heat settings are obtained as
follows:
- 1 = minimum setting for all hotplates;
- 6 = maximum setting for normal and rapid
hotplates (with red disc);
- 0 = off.
Pans must never be smaller in diameter than
the hotplates and their bottoms must be as
fl at as possible (see fi g. 13).
IMPORTANT:
- Never leave hotplates on without pans,
