USING THE HOB

USING THE GAS BURNERS
The following symbols appear around each knob
The minimum position is when the knob is turned fully anticlockwise.
The control knobs must always be set between the min. and max.
positions, and never between max. and Off.
Adjusting minimum gas setting of taps (if necessary)
To ensure that the minimum setting is correctly adjusted, remove knob and proceed as
follows:
tighten (-) to reduce the height of the flame;
loosen (+) to increase the height of the flame;
Adjustment must be carried out with the tap in min. gas position (small flame).
After adjusting, seal with sealing wax or an equivalent material.
The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted.
After adjusting the minimum gas setting, light the burners and turn the knobs from max. to
min. position to check the stability of the flame.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION
To light a gas burner, press the corresponding control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. The igniter clicks
and a small spark can be seen, igniting the gas. If the burner fails to ignite after a few seconds release the control knob, check
that the burners and burner caps are properly positioned on the hob and repeat the operation. In case of a power failure the
burner can also be lit with a match.
APPLIANCES WITH SAFETY VALVE
To light the burners, proceed as above. In this case, however, once the knobs are turned to the open position they must be kept
pressed for about 10 seconds.
If the burner flame goes out for any reason, the safety valve automatically cuts in, shutting off the gas to the relevant burner.
