CAUTION:
Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are used. Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct.
CAUTION:
If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide  further ventilation by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood(if fitted

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP

GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs(illustrated in fig. 2.1) Turning the knob, so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel, achieves the folowing functions: -symbol  OFF closed valve
-symbol ON maximum aperture or flow
-symbol minimum aperture or flow

• The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
• To reduce the gas flow to a minimum, rotate the knob further anticlockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
• Caution! Do not cover the hob with aluminum foils.
• Other operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and closed positions.

IMPORTANT: To turn the control knob from the closed position “ ” to the maximum aperture position “ ”, first press in the knob and then turn it anti-clockwise.

N.B. When the cook top is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Firstly, install two pcs of No. 5 batteries in the battery box at the bottom of the gas hob, and then perform the ignition and fire size adjustment according to the order of illustration.(illustrated in fig. 2.3)

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed

1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise(Fig. 2.3) to the full flame position marked by the “ ” symbol (Fig. 2.1) ; hold the knob in until the flame has been lit. In the case of the main failure, light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for a few seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used. As an indication, the burners and the pots must be used in the following way:

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS
BURNERS…………….70mm and 90mmBurner
MINIMUM………… 6cm
MAXIMUM…… 22cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.
