Start-up and use
Using the hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring showing
the strength of the ame for the relevant burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a ame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction so that it is pointing to the maximum ame setting
.
3. Adjust the intensity of the ame to the desired level by
turning the BURNER knob in an anticlockwise direction.
This may be the minimum setting , the maximum setting
or any position in between the two.
If the appliance is tted with an
electronic lighting device* (see
gure), press the BURNER knob
and turn it in an anticlockwise
direction, towards the minimum
ame setting, until the burner is lit.
The burner might be extinguished
when the knob is released. If this
occurs, repeat the process, holding
the knob down for a longer period of time.
! If the ame is accidentally extinguished, switch off the burner
and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a ame failure safety device*,
press and hold the BURNER knob for approximately 2-3
seconds to keep the ame alight and to activate the device.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it reaches the
stop position ●.
The “separate double ame” burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can
operate either together or separately.
Use of the double ame on the maximum setting gives a
very high power which reduces cooking times with respect
to conventional burners.
Moreover the double ame 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-ame 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 ame” burners.
The knob marked by the symbol operates the external
burner;
The knob marked by the symbol operates the 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 .
The burner is fitted with an electronic 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 ame lit
automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding
knob, as follows:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “●” position).
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efcient way possible and
to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended
that only pans which have a lid and a at base are used.
They should also be suited to the size of the burner.

The hob is tted with reducing pan stands, which should only
be used on auxiliary burner “A” and on the DC-DR (inner) “B”.

For the best performance of your burners, keep the following
in mind: All types of pans can be used on the burners. The
important thing is that the bottom should be completely even.
WARNING! The glass lid can
break in if it is heated up. Turn
off all the burners and the electric
plates before closing the lid.
Applies to the models with glass
cover only.
