Gas burners
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being
used.
The burner can be regulated with the corresponding control
knob "M" by using one of the following settings:
Off
High flame
Low flame
The symbols
near the knobs show the position of the
relative burner on the hob.
To ignite a burner proceed as follows:
• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer
is on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas
ignition;
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with
the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is
not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the
knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off
position " " .
To ensure long life of the appliance, it is essential to carry
out a thorough general clean frequently, taking into account
that:
• The appliance should be disconnected from the mains
supply before starting cleaning operations.
• Avoid cleaning appliance parts when they are still warm.
• The enamelled or chromed or glass parts must be washed
with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive
substances which could ruin them.
• The steel parts, especially in areas with the screen-printed
symbols, should not be cleaned with diluents or abrasive
detergents; preferably use just a soft cloth moistened with
warm water and liquid detergent for washing dishes (wipe
the cloth over the steel in the same direction as the satin-
finish).
Denatured alcohol may be used to remove stubborn dirt.
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with
agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water with
a high lime content. After washing the stainless steel parts
they should be rinsed and dried with a soft cloth
(washleather).

Cleaning and maintenance

Important:
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more
than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the
gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the safety device
activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do
not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby
letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a
danger.
• When the equipment is not in operation, check that the
knobs are in the off position " " . The main gas supply
cut-off cock should also be closed.
Using the burners
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is
advisable to use only pans with a diameter that is suitable
for the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend
beyond the pan base (see following table).
When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame
down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

• After cleaning, some special treatments are available to
bring back the shine to steel and to prevent it from yellowing;
for this purpose, we recommend you use the specific
"special cream detergent for steel care" available from our
Assistance Centres.
• Avoid leaving acid liquids (vinegar, lemon juice, aggressive
detergents, etc.) on enamelled or painted parts.
• The removable parts of the burners should be washed
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove
caked-on substance. Check that the gas outlet slits are
not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using them
again.
• Frequently clean the end part of the automatic glow plugs
of the hob.
Greasing the taps
As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to turn. In
this case it will be necessary to clean inside and replace the
grease.
This procedure must be performed by a technician
authorized by the manufacturer.
