[. . . ] MAKE ALSO SURE TO KEEP THE SERIES OF SUPPLIED NOZZLES. INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC USE AND CONFORMS TO THE EEC DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN BUILT TO CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: COOKING AND HEATING-UP OF FOOD; ALL OTHER USES ARE CONSIDERED IMPROPER. [. . . ] Refit the knob and verify that the burner flame is stable (when turning the knob rapidly from the maximum to the minimum position the flame must not go out). Repeat the operation on all the gas taps. For models with valves, keep the knob at the minimum level for a few seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device. 5. 2 Regulation of the hob burners minimum for liquid gas In order to adjust the minimum setting with liquid gas, the screw at the side of the tap rod must be tightened clockwise all the way. This adjustment is not necessary for the models equipped with a gas cylinder compartment. The diameters of the by-passes for the individual burners are given in the paragraph "3. 2/3. 3 Burner and nozzle characteristics tables". When the adjustment is completed, restore the sealing of the bypasses with paint or another material. 5. 3 Adjustment of the oven burner minimum The oven thermostat is equipped with a screw for adjusting the minimum, which can be seen by removing the thermostat knob. When changing the type of supplied gas, the minimum must be adjusted as follows: · Light the oven burner and keep it at the maximum for 10/15 minutes with the door closed and without the shelf; after this length of time, move the knob to the minimum temperature, slide off the knob and insert a straight edge screwdriver to make the adjustment. If using liquid gas the adjustment screw must be tightened clockwise to the very end. The diameter of the by-pass is given in paragraph "3. 2/3. 3 Burner and nozzle characteristics tables". If using city or natural gas, adjust the screw so that when the thermostat knob is turned from maximum to minimum position the flame remains steady and constant. When the adjustment is completed, restore the seal on the screws using paint or equivalent materials. When closing the oven door, make sure the burner remains lit at the minimum. · · 44 Instructions for the installer 5. 4 · · · Assembling the skirt (on certain models only) Loosen the nuts B. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until it lights. If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again. On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 7. 2 Practical hints for using the hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph "6. 3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. [. . . ] Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The glass could crack and break with the heat 10. 2. 2 Pan stands Remove the pan stands and clean them with warm water and non-abrasive detergent, making sure to remove any encrustation. Continuous contact between the pan stands and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component. [. . . ]
