Operation

INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by
qualified personnel, and in accordance with
existing rules and regulations.
The relevant instructions are to be found in the
second section of this manual.
Please, ensure that, once the appliance is
installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
WHEN THE
INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective
materials, which were put on in the factory.
This hob is provided with a safety device,
which will stop the gas flow if the flame
accidentally goes off during cooking.
To light a burner:
Push in the relevant knob and turn it
anticlockwise to "maximum position".
At the same time, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. D) to be heated
and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" and "crown" (Fig. 1, lett.
A, B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame will
spread beyond the bottom of the vessel,
causing the handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn
down the flame so that it will barely keep
the liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Service
Centre.
