Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric hotplate* is shown

on every knob.

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 gas burner ignition, to light the selected burner press

down and turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to maximum position,

keeping it pressed until the burner has ignited.

! 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).

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.

Burner

Pans to be used on 60 cm hobs

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner

and Nozzle Specications”.

• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are

correctly tted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.

• Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on

the pan support grid.

• Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge

of the hob.

The more variable aspect in terms of pan

stability can often be the pan itself, (or

the positioning of that pan during use).

Well balanced pans, with at bases that

are placed centrally over the burner,

with the pan handles aligned with one

of the support ngers obviously offer the

greatest stability.

Electric hotplates*

The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise and set

to six different positions:

Normal or Fast PlateSetting

Off

Minimum power

Intermediate powers

Maximum power

2-5

When the selector knob is in any position other than the off position, the ‘on’

light comes on.

Practical advice on using the electric hotplates*

To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates, use pans with a at base,

whose diameter is no less than that of the hotplate itself.

For browning and reaching a boil in a short time

! Before using the hotplates for the rst time, you should heat them at maximum

temperature for approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans on them.

During this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and reaches its

maximum resistance.
