Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
l push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 -
letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
l then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table on the right).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Ultra-rapid
(Triple crown) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
F
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.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.

The Hob Broiler (mod. ZGF 991)
The appliance is supplied with an electric broiler situated
in the central zone of the hob.
To switch on the broiler, turn the relevant control knob to
the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered
0 (OFF) - 8 (Maximum).
The broiler may smoke a little and produce a
slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear after
a few minutes.
Preheat the broiler on a full setting for 15 minutes, then
adjust the heat setting as desired.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the broiler are given
in the table below. The settings and cooking times are
intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase
or decrease the temperatures to suit individual
preferences and requirements. When cooking fat foods
(bacon, sausages, etc.) it is recommended to use
intermediate settings in order to avoid smoke.After
switching off the broiler, especially after long cooking
sessions, its front part will remain hot for at least 45
minutes. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace
food on the broiler.
