Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric
hotplate* is shown on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings
using the corresponding control knob:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near
the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the
corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum setting.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob
should be pressed for approximately 6 seconds to allow
the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired
burner by first pressing the gas burners button (identifiable
by the symbol), then pressing down the corresponding
knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise towards
the maximum setting.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control
knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the "●" position).
Electric hotplates*
The corresponding knob may be turned clockwise or anti-
clockwise and set to six different positions:
Setting Normal or Fast Plate

When the selector knob is in any position other than the off
position, the 'on' light comes on.
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table)
so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of
the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

Only available on certain models.

Practical advice on using the electric
hotplates
To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates, use pans
with a flat base, whose diameter is no less than that of the
hotplate itself.
