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 switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite
normal for the spark generator to be
activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition
can occur without the electrical device;
in this case, approach the burner with
a flame, push the relevant knob down
and turn it anti-clockwise until it
reaches the “maximum” position.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is
strongly recommended that you use only pots
and pans with a
flat flat
flat flat
flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used, so that flame will not spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table).
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
The stainless steel can become
tarnished if excessively heated.
Therefore prolonged cooking with
potstones, earthenware pans or cast-
iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not
use aluminium foil to protect the top
during use.
Make sure pots do not protrude over
the edges of the cooktop and that they
are centrally positioned on the rings
in order to obtain lower gas
consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed
pots on the rings: they could tip over
or spill their contents, causing
accidents.
