appliance unsupervised. Ensure that children
and the inrm do not play with the appliance.
In particular, make sure that pan handles are
positioned correctly and supervise the cooking
of foods which use oils and fats, as these are
highly inammable.
• Do not use aerosols or sprays near the
appliance when it is in use.
• Even after use, the burners remain hot for a
long period; to avoid burning, do not place
hands or other objects on them.
• After using the appliance, ensure that all the
controls are in the closed or off position.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION OF
COOKTOP BURNERS
Push the knob (A) which corresponds to burner to
be ignited and turn anti clockwise to the “Full On”
position, then depress the control knob.
Automatically the ignition module sparks. If there
is no electric power the burner may be lit with
matches.
OPTIMUM USE OF COOKTOP BURNERS
In order to achieve maximum efciency with
minimum gas consumption it is useful to
remember:
• Do not use large burners with pans of small
diameter in order to avoid ames spreading
wider than pans (consult the following table)
and always use pans with lids (g. 3).
• When the boiling point is reached, it is best to
turn the knob to the “Low position”.
• Avoid using over sized pans that may radiate
excessive heat and cause damage to
surrounding surfaces such as bench tops
• The appliance is equipped with a particular
pan support (1) on which must be put the wok
support (2). To ensure stability, position the
notch (A) of wok support on the pan support
ngers as indicated in g. 4.
• Do not place anything, e.g. ame tamer,
asbestos mat, between pan and pan support,
as serious damage to the appliance may result
(g. 5).
• Locate pan centrally over burner it so that is
stable and does not overhang the appliance
(g. 6).
• If gas burns with a yellow ame, the do not
continue to use burner and arrange for service.
• Do not use burners without the proper pan support
or wok stand, as this will concentrate and deect
the heat onto the cooktop (g. 7) and surrounding
surfaces.
• Use only a wok support supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer of the
appliance (g. 8).
