COOKTOP OPERATION
The following pages explain how each feature on the gas cooktop works.
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most appropriate one for the diameter of the
cookware being used. The burner can be regulated with the corresponding control knob (M) by
using one of the following settings:
Off OFF
High flame HI-LITE
Low flame LO
The symbols near the knobs show the position of the relative
burner on the hob.
The burners (P) are fitted with automatic ignition (D) and thermocouple
safety device (F), which automatically cuts off the gas from the burner in
a few seconds if the flame accidentally goes out during operation.
The burner cap (C) is porcelainized steel. If the burner cap is not
placed correctly, the burner may not light or the flame may not
burn completely or correctly.
WARNING: To prevent flare ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps properly positioned.
To ignite a burner proceed as follows:
• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas ignition;
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple
to be heated;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame symbol. Intermediate positions are possible
by putting the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off position ( ) .
Important:
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas duct.
• Check that the power to the electronic ingnition is on.
• Check that the burner parts are placed correctly.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues to exit for a few moments before the
safety device activates. Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt ignition again
for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the equipment is not in operation, check that the knobs are in the off position ( ) . The
main gas supply cut-off cock should also be closed.
Power failure
In the event of a power failure,turn all burner control knobs to OFF position. The burners can be lit
by holding a lighted match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to Hi. Wait
until the flame is burning all the way around the burner cap before adjusting.
