Start-Up And Use; Practical Advice On Using The Burners - Ariston GPK 64L GH RU Operating Instructions Manual

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.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed 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.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the "•" position).
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.
The selected power level is
indicated by the
corresponding symbol
(symbols
hobs equipped with a
display, by the LEDs that turn
on (5 = max. power; 1 = min. power). The system
guarantees accurate flame adjustment and uniform
cooking results by facilitating selection of the
desired power level.
The "double-flame" burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric flame
rings that can operate jointly or independently (in
case of dual-control only).
As the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed down for approximately 2-3
seconds until the device keeping the flame
automatically alight heats up.
Single control:
The rings comprising the burner are activated
through a single control knob.
To simultaneously turn on both rings, position the
knob on the symbol
and turn the knob anti-clockwise.
To turn on the inner ring only, position the knob on
the symbol
the knob clockwise.
(to switch modes, it is necessary to switch off the
burner).
To switch off the burner, press and turn the knob
clockwise until it stops (when it reaches the "•"
position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond
the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
