If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them.
Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.
Some model are equipped with a small steak griddle. This is only to be used over the
little burner.
The hobs equipped with the additional small electric ring (ø 80 mm) also feature a cast
iron frame to be used only in conjiunction with the electric ring.The cast iron frame
must not be used over the gas burners.
Warning use the electric ring/hotplate only after reading the paragraph related to choi-
ce of pans specifically with reference to “Use of electric hotplates”.

USING THE GAS BURNER
To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the
control knob anti-clockwise.
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.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:
• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the
★ symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the
★ symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being
pressed.
If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat
the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is acci-
dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be
taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.
ATTENTION: Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur-
ner caps are correctly placed within their position.
GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as
follows. See fig. pag. 37-38.
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not
overlap the base of the pan. 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.

The light indicates the hotplate is on irrespective of the power setting.
In the vetroceramic hobs a residual heat indicator light comes on and remains lit till the
hob plate is cooled down.
A neon indicator light adjacent to the control knob will glow when the electric plate is
in use.
The additional electric hotplate/ring (ø 80 mm) where featured is turned on and off by
pressing 0/I button,this hotplate has a fixed heat setting.
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. 10). 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 switched
on without a pan.
(Ceramic hobs or similar): “WARNING - should any crack appear on the surface turn
the appliance off to prevent potential electric shock.
