Hob burners
To light a burner:
l Push the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark (
).
l At the same time, push in and turn the relevant control
knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
l Then adjust the flame as required.
l If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Using the Hob
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Ultra-rapid
(triple crown) 220 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans having
a diameter equal or higher than 50mm), place the
special grid on the pan support, as shown in the
diagramm.
Triple-crown burner
Always ignite the burner before putting the
pans on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner cap and crown are correctly
positioned (see diagramm).
