Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power adjustment that allows
for accurately adjusting the flame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing the same cooking results
for each recipe, as the optimal power level for the desired type of cooking can
be identified in an easier, more accurate way.
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.

for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
flame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing
down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.

at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

Discrete flame adjustment
The selected burner can be adjusted - by means of the knob - to 5 different
power levels. To shift between levels, simply turn the knob towards the
desired power level.
A click signals the passage from one power level to the other.

automatically alight heats up.
