LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To
ignite
the
instructions are to be followed:
1.
Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 3.2) to the
full flame position marked by the
symbol (fig. 3.1); hold the knob in unt il
the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2.
Wait for a few 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
O
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.

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:

do not use pans with concave or
convex bases
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.
