Frequently Asked Questions - CAGH1 Artusi

How do I light a burner on the Artusi CAGH1 cooktop?

Push down the control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Keep the knob depressed until the burner ignites. If ignition fails, use matches as a backup. Hold the knob pressed for 15 seconds to ensure the flame stays lit.

What should I do if the burner flame goes out accidentally?

Immediately turn the control knob to the OFF position. Do not attempt to reignite for at least 1 minute to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. Then relight following the normal lighting procedure.

How should I clean the stainless steel surface?

Use a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water. Never clean when the surface is warm. Avoid metal or abrasive pads, abrasive powders, or corrosive sprays. Do not leave acidic substances like vinegar, lemon, or tomato juice on the surface for extended periods.

Why won't the burner ignite even though there is a spark?

Check that the gas supply is turned on. Ensure the burner holes are not blocked. Clean the igniter with a toothbrush if coated with food spillage. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service agent.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Check if any gas taps have been left on. If all are off, turn off the gas at the mains immediately. Do not use open flames, strike matches, or press the ignitor. Call a service agent without delay.

Can I convert the cooktop from natural gas to LPG?

Yes, but conversion must be carried out by a qualified person (e.g., Gas Safe registered fitter). The injectors must be replaced according to the injector replacement table provided in the manual, and minimum flow rates must be adjusted.

What are the minimum clearance requirements for installation?

A minimum clearance of 600-750 mm above the hob to any overhanging surface or cooker hood. Side cabinets above the hob can be as low as 350 mm if made of heat-resistant material. Rear clearance to non-combustible surfaces: at least as specified in Fig. 4 of the manual (typically 50 mm).

Does the cooktop require ventilation?

Yes. The room must have an opening window. For room volumes between 5-10 m³, a permanent air vent of 50 cm² is required. For volumes less than 5 m³, a vent of 100 cm² is needed. When using multiple burners, open a window if no mechanical extractor is present.

What size pans should I use?

Use pans with flat bottoms and appropriate diameters: Triple flame burner: 24-26 cm, Rapid burner: 20-22 cm, Semi-rapid: 16-18 cm, Auxiliary: 10-14 cm. Do not use pans larger than 26 cm on the triple flame burner to avoid glass breakage.

Why is the flame uneven or yellow instead of blue?

Switch off the burner and check that the burner components are correctly assembled. Ensure the flame ports are not blocked by food residue. Clean them with a toothbrush if necessary. Dust or dirt can cause yellow flames. After cleaning, the flame should be well-defined blue.
