Gas Hobs
Lighting the burners
The symbol above each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls. A ame failure device on each burner acts as
a safety gas cut-o in case the ame is accidentally blown
out or the control knob is inadvertently switched on. (This is a
safety device to prevent young children or pets inadvertently
turning knobs and releasing the gas.) A thermocouple detects
the absence of a ame and stops the supply of gas. The
thermocouple must be heated for a few seconds when the
burner is ignited before the knob is released.
Note: Early ILVE appliances have no thermocouples on the burners.
To light a burner
1. Push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large
ame position. The ignition candle will spark and ignite the gas.
2. Keep the control knob pressed in for 5–10 seconds to
activate the ame failure device, then release the knob.
Adjust the ame between the large and small ame
symbols as required.
Tip: As you push and turn the knob take it all to way around to
the minimum position if the burner is struggling to ignite.
In the event of a power failure the burners can be lit with a
match or gas lighter. The ame failure devices will continue to
function normally.
Assembly of the burners
On the circular burners there are two slots in the alloy burner
bases. The notches on the brass burner ring must be seated
rmly into the base for the gas to ignite and the ame to be
stable. The burners have been designed to function with or
without the burner caps in position. If you wish to keep the caps
like new it is possible to remove them before cooking and then
replace them again afterwards.
If when cleaning it isn’t re assembled correctly the gas will
struggle to pass through the burner holes correctly, resulting in
a yellow/faulty ame which may keep extinguishing and will not
give o as much heat. It could also blacken the base of pans.
Induction Hobs
Safety
Ensure your pan is suitable for induction. The induction does
not work if there is no pan on the hob to be used. This function
also acts as a safety device if the zone is either left on after
cooking or accidentally switched on.
If an error occurs a “U” will appear. The U can also indicate that
a pan is missing or the pan is an unsuitable material.
Power Boost
To operate the power boost turn control knob briey past
number 9. A “P” symbol will appear in the number window. The
power boost will operate for a maximum of 10 minutes before
returning to normal full power.

Medium Zone 1.85 KW 2.5 KW
Large Zone 2.3 KW 3.2 KW
Extra Large Zone 2.4 KW 3.2 KW
Keep Warm Function
This keeps the contents of the pan at a temperature of 65ºC. Turn
the knob clock wise between 0 and 1 a “U” will appear in the
window indicating the food will warm to approximately 65ºC.
Automatic Boil and Reduce Function
This function allows you to bring the sauce pan contents to
boil and then automatically drop the food temperature to a
pre-determined setting, set by you! (To simmer use numbers
between 1–5.)
To activate, turn the control anti-clockwise, then from (0) to the
intended nal position. As soon as the control is turned to the
left, the letter (A) is shown on the display for the area. After it
has been activated you must set a lower power level between 1
and 9 to continue cooking. The zone will work at full power for a
maximum of 10 minutes then reduce to your pre-set setting.
Notes for induction
 Always make sure pans are clean. You may scratch the glass
if there is debris on the underside of your pan.
 Avoid boiling over sugar based sauces, jams or chutney. If
you do, wipe up immediately otherwise the sugar will chip
the hob surface.
 If a fault occurs an “E” will ash on the hob with a number.
The “E” will ash on the hob with the associated error.
