EQUIPMENT

GAS COOKING HOB

Attention! The use of a gas cooking hob results the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the hob is in operation: keep natural ventilation apertures open or install a mechanical ventilation device (cooker hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. Open a window or increase the power of the cooker hood.

USAGE

The cooking zones control is achieved by means of knobs set up on the control panel of the cooker.(See a section "Equipment")
Correctly adjusted burners have a light blue flame with a distinct internal cone.
Flame volume is adjusted by rotary switches:

Rotary switches ensure gradual setting of flame volume.
All gas cooking hob are provided with the system of electrical ignition operated by means of knobs or electrical ignition button.

To switch on a gas burner:
Models with the system of electrical ignition

• press the corresponding rotary switch of the selected burner against the stop and turn it to the left up to the position big flame
• keep the switch pressed till the burner ignites

The electric spark between the ignition plug and the burner provides the ignition of the burner itself.

• after the burner has ignited, let the rotary switch go and select the required flame volume (e.g. "sparing").
• to switch off the burner after the food is ready turn on the rotary switch to the right (position "gas supply is stopped").

For models with a thermoelectric safety system, the burner is ignited as in the various cases described above; keeping the knob fully pressed on the position big flame for approximately 3-5 seconds to activate the control system.
After releasing the knob, make sure the burner is actually lit.

It is recommend the use of pots and pans with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus preventing the flame from escaping from the bottom part and surrounding the pot. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use small pots and pans on large burners.

Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a flat base.
Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.
Do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire
When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to close the main gas pipe tap and/or cylinder.

Fire danger
The overheated fats or oils are flammable. Watch the cooking processes with fats or oils carefully. Never use water to put the fire out if oil or fats do catch fire. Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and switching off the hob.
