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.

knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise

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.
results by facilitating selection of the desired power level.
The "double-flame" burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric flame rings that can

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.

The selected power level is
indicated by the corresponding
