Hob: general notes on safety

When a gas cooker is being used it produces heat

and humidity in the room where it is installed.

For this reason the room must be well ventilated,

keeping the natural ventilation openings free

and switching on the mechanical aeration system

(suction hood or electric fan, see the “Ventilation”

and “Location and aeration” paragraphs).

If the cooker is used for a long time additional

aeration may be necessary, for instance, opening a

window, or a more effective aeration by increasing

the power of the mechanical system if there is

one.

Lighting the burners



NOTE

Burners are equipped with safety thermocouples and

can only be ignited with the knob at the “Full on”

position Once a burner has been lit, keep the knob

pressed for about 5 seconds.

Automatic electric ignition of burners

Push lightly the knob corresponding to the burner you

wish to use and turn counterclockwise to the “Full on”

position, then depress the control knob. Automatically the

ignition spark shoots. Matches can be used to light the

burners in a blackout.

Optimum use of the burners

To get the maximum yield with the minimum

consumption of gas it is handy to keep the following

points in mind:

• Once the burner has been lit, adjust the ﬂ ame

according to your needs.

• Use an appropriately sized pan for each burner

(see the table below and ﬁ g. 4).

• When the content of the pan start to boil, turn

the knob down to “Reduced rate position” (small

ﬂ ame).

• Always put a lid on the pan.
