LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following instruc-
tions 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).
2.
Press the ignition button marked by
the symbol
The sparks produced by the electro-
des situated next to the burner will
light the selected burner.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
3.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired po-
sition.
To turn it off, turn the knob towards the
right, up to the safety click.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to
light the burner with the knob set to maxi-
mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat
the operation.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob, the-
re is a diagram that indicates which burner
is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen ac-
cording to the diameter and the capacity
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pots
must be used in the following way:

Auxliliary

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 shorten amount of
time since the capacity of heat absorption
of a liquid mass depends on the volume
and the surface of the pot.
