WE ADVISE READING THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS THEREIN BEFORE USING THE COOKER. ALSO KEEP THE SERIES OF NOZZLES SUPPLIED. [. . . ] Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this is because the thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the operation holding down the knob for a little longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without thermocouples. For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out, a safety device will be activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner. 6. 2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "6. 3/6. 4 Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 16 Instruction for the user 6. 3 Diameter of containers (60 cm models) BURNERS (60 X 60) 1.

These are controlled by a switch and are turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. On the front panel above each knob a small drawing shows which hob corresponds to each knob. A yellow warning light lights up when the hob is switched on. 6. 5. 2 How to use the electric hobs The rapid hobs offer the advantage of ultra-rapid cooking. Purely as an example the regulation table for the hobs is shown below. RAPID HOBS 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 HEAT INTENSITY Off Weak Soft Slow Medium Strong Very strong POSSIBLE COOKING To melt butter, chocolate, etc. To defrost frozen food and prepare stews, cooking at or just below boiling point. To cook food which has to reach boiling point, to roast delicate meat or fish. For roasts, steaks and large boiled joints. To boil large amounts of water, to fry. WARNING When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes. [. . . ] If liquids are spilt onto the closed lid, wipe them off carefully with a cloth before opening it. To replace the lid, fit it into the guides and screw in the hinge fixing screws with the lid open. Take care not to touch the glass of the lid with hot pots and pans. The glass might crack due to the heat. 24 Instruction for the user 9. 2. 2 Grids Remove the grids and clean them in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent, taking care to remove any incrustations. Continuous contact of the grids with the flame can cause the paint near the hot areas to be altered. [. . . ]
