Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the
corresponding control knob:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at
the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise
to the maximum setting.
Since the burner is tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing
down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.
! If a ame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for
at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops
(when reaches the “●” position).
The “separate double ame” burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either
together or separately.
Use of the double ame on the maximum setting gives a very high power
which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double ame crown provides a more uniform distribution of heat
on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-ame burner is used to its full potential,
never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum
at the same time.
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 ame”
burners.
The knob marked by the symbol operates the external burner;
The knob marked by the symbol operates the internal burner.
To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in all the way and turn it
anti-clockwise to the high setting .
The burner is tted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when
the knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner
keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which
keeps the ame lit automatically to heat up.
The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as
follows:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops
(when reaches the “●” position).
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efciently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner
and Nozzle Specications”.
• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly tted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.
• Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on
the pan support grid.
• Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge
of the hob.
The more variable aspect in terms of pan
stability can often be the pan itself, (or
the positioning of that pan during use).
Well balanced pans, with at bases that
are placed centrally over the burner,
with the pan handles aligned with one
of the support ngers obviously offer the
greatest stability.
