LIGHTING GAS BURNERS (FITTED WITH SAFETY CUT-OFF VALVE)
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob fig. 17 in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture,
push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas. If there is no mains electrical
supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gaslights before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If the burner flame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas
flow.
To re-light the burner, first turn the oven control knob to position "0", wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
If after relighting the burner, the flame is still abnormal, turn the burner off and
contact our Customer Service Centre to obtain the nearest authorized Delonghi Service
Agent.

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
■
The burners are different sizes, and can be used in different ways.
■
The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat or foods that are cooked quickly,
and the smallest for stews and sauces.
■
Always ensure that you use the correct size of saucepan.
■
For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going
up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take
longer to boil.
■
For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
During use cooking vessels become hot. Pay special attention not to touch
the hot vessels positioned on the cooking hob especially when operating the
control knobs.
