COOKTOP USE
Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
1. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and
only used in a well-ventilated space.
2. The use of a gas-cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
3. Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation,
for example opening of a window, or more eective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, push down on the knob while rotating it counterclockwise,
until the knob indicator is aligned with the ignite icon .
For models with a safety valve - Once the ame is lit, hold the knob depressed
for about 3-4 seconds until the device keeps the burner automatically lit. If the
burner fails to ignite, wait one minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to
reignite. Adjust the ame intensity by rotating the knob counterclockwise from MAX
(maximum) to MIN (minimum).
To turn o the burner, rotate the knob clockwise until the indicator on the knob is
aligned with OFF.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit
match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise until the indicator is aligned
with MAX. After the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
In the case of unintentional ame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes by
shutting o the gas to the burners.
The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the
burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned o, immediately
close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating. Once ignited, adjust
the ame as desired.
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter
matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the ame coming up around the sides
of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only at-bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the ame down to a level sucient to maintain
boiling.
