CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the
capacity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
It is important that the diameter of the
pot be suitable to the potentiality of the
burner so as not to compromise the high
output of the burners and therefore
energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not
give you a boiling point in a shorter
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED
WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 3.2a -
3.2b) to the full flame position marked
by the
or )
symbol (Fig. 3.1a -
3.1b) and hold the knob in until the
flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2) Wait for about ten seconds after the
gas burner has been lit before letting
go of the knob (valve activation
delay);
3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will
automatically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed
● position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
