OPERATION

A. Gas Burner

The minimum temperature is at the end of the rotation in the opposite direction of the control knob.
All operating positions must be selected between the maximum and minimum position.
The symbol on the control panel next to the control lever will indicate which burner is in use.
OFF = gas valve is shut off
MAx. = Largest flame
MIN. = Smallest flame

The position of largest flame liquid material will boil very soon. When the switch in the largest flame position, turn the thermostat knob to a desired temperature suitable for every slow cooking and warming up of food.
Press the switch fully and revolve to the opposite direction of clock until it reached the position of “MAX ”
Move the switch position from “MAX” to “MIN”, the burner will burn with medium flame.

B. Ignition

Simply press the knob in, turn anticlockwise to maximum and the burner will ignite. Before releasing knob, ensure a flame is established, if the burner fails to ignite, put into off position and try again.
If in case of a power failure or failure of the ignition, a match or lighting device can be used. Care must be taken when using this method.
The device shall not be operated for more than 15s. If after 15s the burner has not lit, stop operating the device and open the compartment door and/ or wait at least 1 min before attempting a further ignition of the burner (for models with safety switch only).
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min.

C. Choices of burners

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
For a lower and more efficient gas consumption it is advisable to use pans with a diameter adequate to the burners size, preventing the flame to burn in the open. It is advisable to reduce the flame as soon as the liquid starts to boil, and keep the flame to the minimum necessary to sustain boiling.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning operations should only be carried out when the cooktop is completely cool.
• It must be disconnected from the mains before starting any cleaning process.
• Clean the cooktop regularly, preferably after each use.
• Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects can damage the surface of the cooktop.

For cleaning stainless steel parts, enamels, glass and panel use a soft sponge or a damp cloth with warm water and neutral soap.
Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders and corrosive substances that may scratch these parts.
Keep the electronic ignition electrodes of the burners, clean of crusts of dirt.
Do not use tin foil to cover the cooktop cover, as it may cause stains on the cover and impair the operation of the electrodes.
Do not allow acids or alkalis, such as vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water, tomato juice, etc., to remain in contact with enamelled surfaces (burner covers, grilles, the cooktop surface).
Cleaning of burners, lids and spreaders should be carried out periodically with warm water and neutral soap. Before putting them back in place, rinse thoroughly and check to see if they are all clean and dry.
The appearance of white or silver markings that appear to be scratches on the table grates is normal. These marks occur due to the residue of the metal from the pot bottom that accumulates in the grids.
Do not drop liquids or solids into the burner to avoid derailing the flame or causing blockages. If that happens, turn off the burner, wait for it to cool and wipe with a damp cloth.
Scouring pads are not recommended as they deteriorate the surface. Pan support, control handles

• Remove the pan holder.

• Clean these and the handle controls with a damp cloth, wash with liquid soap and warm
  water. In case of strong dirt, do so beforehand. Dry everything with a soft, clean cloth.
