Using the Hob
Before use make sure the Burner caps and
Pan supports are correctly fitted.
During normal use the cooker will get hot.
Caution should therefore be used. Do not
allow children to approach or play with the
cooker; whenever the hob is in use and in the
necessary cooling down period, take care to
position the saucepans in a way that prevents
burns or overturning.
Switching on the burners
The hob burner control knobs have the following symbols:
The low flame setting is found by turning the control knob
anti-clockwise all the way. All intermediate settings are
selected between the high and low flame. The control knob
cannot be set between high flame and tap closed.
One touch ignition and safety valve
The hob burners are equipped with a "one touch" ignition
system. To switch on one of the burners, press in the
appropriate control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the
low setting . Hold in the control knob to activate the
"one touch" ignition. Continue holding the control knob
in for 10seconds, to allow the safety valve to open.
Should the burner switch off accidentally, the safety
(thermocouple) valve will close and stop the flow of gas,
even when the tap is open.
Manual ignition
To manually light one of the burners, press the appropriate
control knob in and turn it anti-clockwise to the low
setting and use a piezo gas lighter to ignite the gas.
Adjust the flame and release the knob.
Switching off the burners
At the end of the cooking, return the knob to position .
Suggestions for using the hob
burners correctly
The diameter of the base of saucepan or frying pan should
fit the diameter of the burner used (see table below). The
burner flame must never be wider than the diameter of the
pan. Always use pans with a flat base. Where possible use pans
with a lid, as this reduces the level of gas required. Using only
the required amount of water for vegetables, potatoes, etc,
will reduce the cooking times.

Rapid from 24 to 26
Semi-rapid from 16 to 22
Simmer from 8 to 14
Triple ring from 16 to 35
