The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual. Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored. WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory. Operation Hob Burners ! To light a burner: knob anticlockwise to turn the relevant " " maximum position and push down the knob to ignite. After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2 - lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required. If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 - lett. A) and "crown" (Fig. 1 - lett. B) are in the correct position. To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol . A - Burner cap B - Burner crown C - Ignition electrode D - Thermocouple Fig. 1 In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the"maximum" position. When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically. 7 Using the hob correctly To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside). Burner Large (rapid) Medium (semi-rapid) Small (auxiliary) minimum diameter 160 mm 120 mm 80 mm maximum diameter 260 mm 220 mm 160 mm As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. Use only pans or pots with flat bottom. If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat. Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated. Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use. Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption. Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents. Pots must not enter the control zone. If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre. 8 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
