To only have the inside ring turned on, turn
the control knob clockwise and set it to the
position you require. To turn on the whole
hotplate, set the control to position “12”
and go on turning, gently, until it goes past
“0” and you hear a “CLICK”. Then set the
control to the position required. When the
whole hotplate is turned on, and you only
want to have the smaller ring working, set
the control to ZERO and then turn it on
again.
Whether only one ring is turned on, or
both, you can regulate the temperature by
setting the control to intermediary posi-
tions, just as with the normal and halogen
hobs described in the previous paragraph.
With double circuit regulators, when
the control is set to “0” it may only be
turned clockwise, as there is a catch
which prevents you moving from “0” to
“12” and vice-versa.
Before turning on one of the hob’s heating
elements, you should identify the corres-
ponding control. To this end, it is shown
beside each control which heating element
it corresponds to.
The amber indicator light at the front of the
controls shows that one or more heaters is
in operation. The indicator light is situated
below the glass on the model VT CM.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
When a heating area reaches a tempera-
ture of more than 60±15ºC the correspon-
ding residual heat indicator comes on, and
stays on - even if the control is set to zero
- until the temperature drops. However,
special attention should be paid to the
temperature of the cooking area because
there is a possibility, albeit remote, that the
indicator will fail and that the temperature
in that area will not be shown.
Model VT DUAL.1
Anti-accidental turn system
on gas controls
On models without the safety
system (without the gas cut-off device),
the gas taps are equipped with a mechani-
cal system that prevents the controls from
being freely turned from the off position to
the on position (and, therefore, prevents
any accidental escape of gas from the bur-
ners) if the control has not previously
been pressed down.
If at any time while using the
hob you notice that a control can be
turned from the off position without it
needing to be pressed down before-
hand (for example: due to dirt which
may have got into the gas taps and
built up there) you should, for your
own safety, get quickly in touch with
technical assistance in order to resol-
ve this fault.
Igniting the burners
* Make sure that the knobs are in their co-
rrect position.
* Turn on the gas at the mains or turn the
gas cylinder’s tap.
* Put a flame or spark to the burner.
* Make sure that the control corresponds
to the burner you want to turn on - the
control panel and the upper part of each
burner shows which control belongs to
which burner. Press the control knob (fi-
gure 12) and at the same time turn it
anti-clockwise to the maximum position
(the big flame). The burner will now
come on at full power; then, if you wish,
you can turn the knob to the minimum po-
sition (the small flame).
