How to use the hob
Gas burners
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs
(illustrated in fig.2) which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the
symbols printed on the panel achieves the following
functions:
Symbol
: Tap closed (burner off )
–
– Symbol
: High (maximum)
– Symbol
: Low (minimum)
– The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling
of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position
allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids.
– To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob
further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards
the small flame symbol.
– Other intermediate operating adjustments can be
achieved by positioning the indicator between the
maximum and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aperture and closed
positions.
Lighting Gas Burners
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-
clockwise (fig. 3) to the full flame position marked
by the
symbol and hold the knob in until the
flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a
match or lighted taper.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before
releasing the knob (starting time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.
Important
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the
safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed
position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the
burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to
minimum and repeat the operation.

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

N.B. When the cooktop is not
being used, set the gas knobs to
their closed positions and also
close the cock valve on the gas
bottle or the main gas supply
line.
