Start-up and use

GB
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power adjustment that allows
for accurately adjusting the lame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing the same cooking results
for each recipe, as the optimal power level for the desired type of cooking can
be identiied in an easier, more accurate way.
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 itted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
lame 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 lame 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).
Discrete lame adjustment
The selected burner can be adjusted - by means of the knob - to 5 different
power levels.
power; 1 = min. power). The system guarantees accurate lame adjustment
and uniform cooking results by facilitating selection of the desired power level.
The "double-lame" burner
This gas burner consists of two concentric lame rings that can operate jointly
or independently (in case of dual-control only).
As the burner is itted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
down for approximately 2-3 seconds until the device keeping the lame
automatically alight heats up.
Single control:
The rings comprising the burner are activated through a single control knob.
To simultaneously turn on both rings, position the knob on the symbol
(max) - (min) then press and turn the knob anti-clockwise.
10
To shift between levels, simply turn the knob
towards the desired power level.
A click signals the passage from one power
level to the other.The selected power level
is indicated by the corresponding symbol
(symbols ) and, on hobs equipped with
a display, by the LEDs that turn on (5 = max.
To turn on the inner ring only, position the knob on the symbol (max ) -
(min) then press and turn the knob clockwise.
To switch modes, it is necessary to switch off the burner.
To switch off the burner, press and turn the knob clockwise until it stops (when
it reaches the "●" position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate eficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the lames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a lat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

Double Flame (DCDR external)
! On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember that this should be
used only for the Double lame internal (DCDR internal) burner when you use
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 Speciications".
• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly itted 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 lat bases that
are placed centrally over the burner,
with the pan handles aligned with one
of the support ingers obviously offer the
greatest stability.
