USING THE COOK TOP

This appliance is not intended to be used by children and people unable or without any experience on the use of the
product, unless they are supervised or trained on the use by a responsible person for their safety.
Please monitor children in order to ensure that they are not playing with the appliance.
User's instructions
This appliance must be used for the purpose it was designed for, i.e. domestic cooking. Any other use is considered to be
improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or irrational use.
Using the burners
If the burners are not used for several days, wait a few seconds before lighting them in order to release any air from the pipes.
As the cook top burners are fitted with an automatic ignition, to light them simply press and turn the handle to the small star. The
appliance uses a spark ignition generator.
If the flame does not ignite within five seconds, turn the knob back to the 0 position and repeat the procedure.
For models with a safety tap (which interrupt the gas flow should the flame accidentally go out) the burners are ignited as
described above, but ensure the knob is pressed in for 5 to 6 seconds after the flame has ignited.
After this time, which gives the safety device enough time to cut-in, the flame will be on permanently.
ATTENTION: once the cook top has been cleaned, ensure that the burners are firmly in their seats and do not interfere
with the igniter.
To get the best from the burners, use flat-bottomed pots with a diameter suited to the burner being used.
For smaller diameter pots and pans (coffee and tea pots, etc.), the power of the burner being used has to be regulated in order
to ensure that the flame laps the bottom of the pot without spilling over. Do not use pots with concave or convex bottoms.
WARNING: if the burner flame is extinguished accidentally, turn off the knob and leave it for at least one minute before
trying to re-ignite it.
