How To Use Your  Appliance
Close-up View
The position of the corresponding gas burner or electric
hot plate (if present) is indicated on each control knob.
Gas Burners
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 corresonding control
knob by using one of the following settings:
 •
Off
High
Low
To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or
lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and
turn it anti-clockwise to the "High" setting.
On those models fitted with a safety device (F), the
knob must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the
device that keeps the flame lit warms up.
On those models fitted with an ignitor (D)the "E"
ignition button, identified by the 
symbol, must first
be pressed and then the corresponding knob pushed
all the way in and turned anti-clockwise to the "High"
setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition button
incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the
ignitor (D) is present, but not the "E" button.
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob
all the way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to the
"High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner
lights.
Caution:
 If the burner accidently goes out, turn off the
gas on the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before
you try to to light it again.
To turn off a burner, turn the knob clockwise until it stops
(it should be on the “•” setting).
The “separate double flame” burner (only on some
models)
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can
operate either together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a
very high power which reduces cooking times with respect
to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform
distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan, when using
both burners on minimum.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the
smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of only the
internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the “separate
double flame” burners.
The knob marked by the symbol

burner;
