Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric
hotplate* is shown on every knob.
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 2-3 seconds to allow
the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired
burner 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).
The “separate double flame” burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can
operate either together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a
very high power which reduces cooking times with respect
to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform
distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan, when using
both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its
full potential, never set the inside ring to minimum and
the outside ring to maximum at the same time.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the
smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the
internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate
double flame” burners.
The knob marked by the symbol
operates the external
burner;
The knob marked by the symbol
operates the internal
burner.
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all
the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting .
The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that
automatically starts when the knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after
lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about
2-3 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit
automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding
knob, as follows:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “●” position).
Ceramic Glass Module*
This cooktop is fitted with dual-ring radiant heating elements
located beneath the glass. It is possible to turn on only
the circular part of the elemement (identified by the letter
“A”) or the cooking surface can be enlarged by turning on
both “A” and “B”. To turn only the circular “A” element,
simply turn the knob in the clockwise direction to any one
of the 12 available settings. To add the “B” section, turn
the knob to setting 12 and then click it into the setting.
Then proceed by turning the knob in the counter-clockwise
direction to one of the 12 settings.
The figure shows the heating zones, which become red
when the element is turned on.
A. Circular heating zone;
B. Extended heating zone;
C. Indicator light to show when the
cooking zone is above 60°C, even
after the heating element has been
turned off.
When the knob is on any of the settings
other than “Off”, the Indicator Light for Ceramic Glass
Module 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.
