GAS BURNERS
The flow of gas to the burners is adjusted by the
knobs which control the taps with safety valves.
Match the mark on the knob with the symbols printed
on the panel:
-fulldisc
x
=tapoff
- symbol
= max. opening or max. flow
- symbol
= min. opening or min. flow
To light one of the burners:
1. Press and turn the gas tap knob anticlockwise to the
maximum flow position, press it down and keep it
pressed.
2. Press the electric ignition push-button. If there is a
power cut use a flame.
3. Wait for ten seconds after lighting the burner before
releasing the knob (valve triggering time).
4. Set the gas tap to the position required.
If particular characteristics of the locally supplied gas
make lighting the burner with the knob in the
maximum flow position difficult, repeat the operation
with the knob in the minimum flow position.
If the burner flame should go out for any reason, the
safety valve will automatically shut off the gas supply.
To light the gas again, turn the knob to the
x
position
and then repeat the lighting operations.
The maximum flow is used to bring liquids to the boil
quickly, while the low flow is used to heat food slowly
or for simmering.
All the operating positions must be chosen between
the maximum and the minimum and never between
the maximum and the OFF.

CLEANING THE BURNERS AND THE
GRIDS
x
These pieces can be removed and washed with
suitable products.
x
After cleaning, the burners and spreaders must be
dried carefully and put back into their housing
correctly.
x
It is very important to check the correct position of
the burner spreader because if it moves out of place
serious problems could occur.
x
In models which have safety valves, make sure that
the sensor, near to each burner, remains clean so
that the safety valves can work properly.
x
In appliances with electric ignition make sure that
the electrode remains clean so that the sparks can
strike properly. The spark plugs must be cleaned
very carefully.
N.B.: To avoid damage to the electric ignition, do
not use it when the burners are not in place.

/h x kW).
The installer must refer to the national
standards in force concerning ventilation and
removal of combustion products.
x
The natural flow of air must occur through one or
more suitable openings which must be:
- Permanent and made in the outside walls of the
room to be ventilated, in an area away from
sources of pollution.
- So made that the opening outlets, both inside and
outside the wall, cannot be blocked, even
accidentally.
- Protected with grids, metal net etc. so as not to
reduce the useful section indicated above.
- Situated at roughly floor level and such as not to
cause disturbance to the correct operation of the
combustion product removal devices.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary
airmustcomefromanadjacentroom,ventilatedas
required, as long as it is not a bedroom or a dangerous
room. In this case the kitchen door must allow the
passage of air.
DISCHARGE OF THE COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS
The combustion products of gas appliances must be
discharged through hoods connected directly to the
outside.
When this is not possible an electric fan can be used,
attached to the outside wall or to the window, having
a capacity such as to allow an hourly exchange of air of
3–5timesthevolumeofthekitchen.
The fan can only be installed if there are suitable
openings for the inlet of air.
