2.3 Using the cooktop
All the appliance's control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob
is shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol,
until the burner lights. If the burner does not
light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to
and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for
a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to
heat up. The burner may go out when the
knob is released: in this case, the
thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and repeat the
operation. Keep the knob pressed in
longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their seats with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes 1 of the flame-spreader crowns are
aligned with the thermocouples 2 and
igniters 3.
Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan.
Once the contents come to the boil, turn
down the flame far enough to ensure that
the liquid does not boil over.

FIRE HAZARD
• For your safety: do not allow the burner
flame to extend beyond the edge of the
pan.
• Turn off all controls when the range is not
in use.
In case of an accidental turning off,
a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas tap is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least
5 minutes before lighting it again.
