Gas burners
On the control panel, the following symbols are indicated
around each knob "M" or on the knob itself: Cock
Off
High flame
Low flame
Moreover, the symbols near the knobs indicate the position
of the relative burner on the hob.
The burners are fitted with a safety thermocouple device
against gas leaks. This device interrupts the gas supply should
the burner flame go out during operation.
To light one of the burners, proceed as follows:
• turn the relative knob anti-clockwise until the pointer is on
the high-flame symbol;
• press the knob down fully to actuate the automatic gas
ignition;
• keep the knob pressed down for about 6 seconds with the
flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to heat;
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is
not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply setting
the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame
symbol.
Important:
• Do not actuate the automatic ignition device for more than
15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas
duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues
to exit for a few moments before the safety device is
actuated. Turn the control knob to the off position and do
not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby
letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that the knobs
are set to the off position " ". The main gas supply cut-off
cock should also be turned off.
Practical advice on using the burners
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, we
recommend you only use pans with a diameter suitable for
the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend
beyond the pan base (see the following table).
When a liquid starts boiling, we recommend you turn the
flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Burner
A.Auxiliary
B.Semi-rapid
C.Rapid
D. Triple ring
The hob is fitted with reducing pan stands
(fig. 1), which should only be used on
auxiliary burner "A" and on the DC-DR (inner)
"I".
The "dual independent flame" burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric burner rings which
can be actuated together or independently. When the two rings
are used together at the highest setting, the burner reduces
the length of cooking time with respect to traditional burners.
The dual ring also distributes heat more evenly on the bottom
of cookware, especially when both burner rings are used at
the lowest setting. Cookware of any size can be used. If small
pots or pans are used, only turn the inner burner on. Each
burner ring has its own control knob:
the knob indicated by symbol
the knob indicated by symbol
To turn on one of the two rings, press the relative knob in all
the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum setting
The burner is fitted with an electronic ignitor that is actuated
automatically when the knob is pressed.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device "F", the
knob should be pressed for approximately 6 seconds for the
device keeping the flame lit automatically to heat up.
To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise until it stops
(corresponding again with the " " symbol).
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following
in mind: All types of pans can be used on the burners. The
important thing is that the bottom should be completely even.
