The supplied pan stand H is for use with woks. 5. 1 Lighting the hob burners The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol , until the burner lights. After lighting, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple 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. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the O (off) position when you finish using the hob. If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds 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. 10 Instructions for the user 5. 2 Practical tips for using the burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use pans with a flat, smooth base and a lid that have a suitable size for the burner, thus preventing the flames reaching the sides of the pan (see point “5. 3 Cookware diameters”). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all cookware must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils since they may catch fire if overheated. To prevent burns or damage to the hob or the counter top during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. 5. 3 Cookware diameters HOB BURNERS min.

For easier cleaning they can be removed by pulling them upwards. [. . . ] Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly. The pressure must be checked to ensure it is operating at 2. 75kPa. A separate test point fitting must be installed between the piping & the appliance for the pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating at 2. 75kPa. 18 Instructions for the installer Installation with the flexible hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 2 metres fully extended; make sure that the hoses do not come into contact with moving parts and that they are not crushed in any way. 7. 5 Connection to liquid gas Use a pressure regulator and make the connection on the gas cylinder following the guidelines established by the regulations in force. Make sure that the feed pressure complies with the values indicated in the table at point “9. 2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table”. 7. 6 Room ventilation Caution – Caution – This hob may only be installed and operated in rooms permanently ventilated in accordance with current regulations.
