INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
Hob: general notes on safety
When a gas cooker is being used it produces heat
and humidity in the room where it is installed.
For this reason the room must be well ventilated,
keeping the natural ventilation openings free
and switching on the mechanical aeration system
(suction hood or electric fan, see the “Ventilation”
and “Location and aeration” paragraphs).
If the cooker is used for a long time additional
aeration may be necessary, for instance, opening a
window, or a more effective aeration by increasing
the power of the mechanical system if there is
one.
Lighting the burners
Manual ignition
Press and turn counterclockwise the knob corresponding
to the burner you wish to use, until it reaches to the “Full
on” position and placing a lighted match to the burner.
Automatic electric ignition of burners
Press and turn the knob corresponding to the burner you
wish to use counterclockwise to the “Full on“ position.
Automatically the ignition spark shoots. Once lit, keep the
knob pressed for about 10 seconds.
Matches can be used to light the burners in a blackout.
Optimum use of the burners
To get the maximum yield with the minimum
consumption of gas it is handy to keep the following
points in mind:
• Once the burner has been lit, adjust the ame
according to your needs.
• Use an appropriately sized pan for each burner
(see the table below and g. 4).
• When the content of the pan start to boil, turn
the knob down to “Reduced rate position” (small
ame).
• Always put a lid on the pan.
