7.1 Ignition of the burners

Front view of a silver portable electronic device with a circular lens and two vertical pins (no text or symbols visible)

Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding burner by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or to the marking on it.

(Only where applicable)

Double-crown burners, controlled by two knobs, feature two ribs, a long one corresponding to the small inner burner and a short one to the outer burner.

Double-crown burners comprise an auxiliary and a rapid burner, controlled by two different knobs which permit to use both burners at the same time or to select one or the other as required.

The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise on the low point flame symbol, until the burner is ignited. Concerning models with valves, push the knob for approximately 2 seconds in order to keep the flame burning and to activate the safety device. The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.

Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet even if the tap is open.

7.2 Practical advice for using the burners

For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be used, with covers and proportional in size to the burners (see paragraph "7.3 Diameter of containers").

To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface or to the glass cover (only where applicable) top while cooking, all recipients or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs.

(*) For burner reference numbers, see page 35.

7.4 Using a griddle plate

A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:

• leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate and the side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is of triple flame type, leave a gap of at least 160 mm between this wall and the edge of the griddle plate;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle plate;
• operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at maximum power, then turn them down to the minimum setting. Never use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes.

7.5 Electric elements

7.5.1 Turning on electric elements

Hobs may be fitted with an electric element of varying diameter. The electric element is controlled by a switch and is turned on by rotating the appropriate knob to the desired position.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products and remove spots or residuals with non-scratch sponges or, if need be, with wood or plastic utensils.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.

8.2 Cleaning of cooking hob components

Grids, caps, flame cap crowns and burners can be removed for ease of cleaning. Wash them in warm water using a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove all tough spots. Before remounting, allow the components to fully dry out.

Illustration of a smartphone with a grid pattern and floating coins (no text or symbols)

CAUTION: do not wash these components in a dishwasher.

In normal use of the hob, the stainless steel burner caps and pan-stands tend to be burnished by the high temperature. Clean these parts using very fine abrasive sponges or similar commercial products. Then use a specific paste polish to restore the steel's shine. Your local authorised after-sales technician is able to supply professional products for appliance cleaning and care.

8.2.1 Ignition plugs and safety devices

For good functioning of the lighting ignition plugs and the safety devices, keep them very clean.

Check frequently and clean with a damp cloth when necessary.

8.2.2 The electric element

After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the electric element must be treated with specific cleaning products which are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust formation).

8.2.3 The cover

Clean the glass or steel cover, where mounted, with warm water. Never use abrasive sponges or detergents. To clean the rear part of the cooktop, remove the cover by lifting out.

When finished cleaning, refit the cover making sure to insert it correctly.

Before lifting up the cover, dry out properly.

Never lower the cover when burners or electric elements are on or still hot.
