Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power adjustment that allows
for accurately adjusting the ame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing the same cooking results
for each recipe, as the optimal power level for the desired type of cooking can
be identied in an easier, more accurate way.
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 tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame 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 ame 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).
Discrete ame adjustment
The selected burner can be adjusted - by means of the knob - to 5 different
power levels. To shift between levels, simply turn the knob towards the
desired power level.
A click signals the passage from one power level to the other.
The selected power level is indicated by the
corresponding symbol (symbols
)
and, on hobs equipped with a display, by the
LEDs that turn on (5 = max. power; 1 = min.
power). The system guarantees accurate
flame adjustment and uniform cooking
results by facilitating selection of the desired
power level.
The “double-ame” burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric ame rings that can operate jointly
or independently (in case of dual-control only).
As the burner is tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
down for approximately 2-3 seconds until the device keeping the ame
automatically alight heats up.
Dual control:
Each ring comprising the burner has its own control knob:
The knob marked with the symbol controls the outer ring.
The knob marked with the symbol
controls the inner ring.
To activate any one of the two rings, press the corresponding knob and turn
it anti-clockwise to the maximum power setting
.
In order to use the double-ame burner to its full potential, avoid
simultaneously setting the inner ring to minimum power and the outer
ring to maximum power.
Single control:
The rings comprising the burner are activated through a single control knob.
To simultaneously turn on both rings, position the knob on the symbol
(max) -
(min) then press and turn the knob anti-clockwise.
To turn on the inner ring only, position the knob on the symbol
(max ) -
(min) then press and turn the knob clockwise.
(to switch modes, it is necessary to switch off the burner).
To switch off the burner, press and turn the knob clockwise until it stops (when
it reaches the “●” position).
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efciently:
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
