7. USING THE HOB
 
 
 
 
 
Make sure that the flame-baffle crowns, the caps and the grid have been 
assembled correctly. Grid A (supplied) should be used for "woks" 
(Chinese pots). 
Adapter B (supplied) is to be used for small vessels. 
 
 
 
 
 
7.1 Ignition of the burners with safety device
 
For each knob the corresponding burner is indicated. The device is fit 
with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob 
counter-clockwise on the low point flame symbol, until the burner is 
ignited. Concerning models with valves, push the knob for approximately 
2 seconds in order to keep the flame burning and to activate the safety 
device. The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case 
repeat the aforesaid operation keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 
seconds. 
 
 
 
 
Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety 
device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet 
even if the cock is open. 
 
 
7.2 Practical advice for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas 
consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be 
used, with covers and proportional in size to the 
burners (see paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”). 
 
To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top 
while cooking, all recipients or griddles must be 
positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must 
be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs.
