GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans should match the gas burner size as follows:
— Medium from 12 - 20 cm.
— Large from 20 - 26 cm.
For smaller containers a reducer stand (supplied with some models) should be used
and the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base
of the pan. The reducer stand is for use with the medium burner. Vessels with concave
or convex base should not be used.
WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi-
tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates
must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing
the lid down.
Only pans which have smooth flat bases should be used on the electric hotplates. The
size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and ne-
ver smaller (see Fig. 9). The base of the pan should be dry and spillages should be
avoided. Empty pans should not be left on the plates, nor should the plates left swit-
ched on without a pan.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Using the gas Burner
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before
lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.
To ignite the burners on hobs without electric ignition, place a lighted taper close to
the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
For those hobs with electric ignition, simply turn the control knob to the ignition or maxi-
mum position and press the button marked
★ . The spark is fired only when the button
is released. If the burner does not ignite first time, try again.
As a safety device, some models automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame is
accidently extinguished. In this case, push and rotate the control knob and keep it held
down for approx 5-6 seconds.
The burner will then remain lit.
ATTENTION: When cleaning the hob, take care to replace the burners correctly,
this will ensure that the ignition point is not blocked.
Use of electric hotplates
For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimise energy consumption, the
following recommendations should be noted.
A neon indicator light adjacent to the control knob will glow when the electric plate is
in use.
