Start-Up And Use; Practical Advice On Using The Burners - Ariston PC 631 XPC 631 N X Mode D'emploi

Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner or
electric hotplate* is shown on every knob.
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.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the "•" position).
The "separate double flame" burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which
can operate either together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting
gives a very high power which reduces cooking
times with respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more
uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan,
when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is
used to its full potential, never set the inside
ring to minimum and the outside ring to
maximum at the same time.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case
of the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use
of only the internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the
"separate double flame" burners.
The knob marked by the symbol

The knob marked by the symbol
internal burner.
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in
all the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high
setting
igniter that automatically starts when the knob is
pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety
device, after lighting the burner keep the knob
pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device
which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the
corresponding knob, as follows:
•
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the "•" position).
Electric hotplates*
The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or
anti-clockwise and set to six different positions:
Setting Normal or Fast Plate
2 - 5
When the selector knob is in any position other than
the off position, the 'on' light comes on.

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond
the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
