This article explains how to use the PC901 by Boretti.
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in conformity with the regulations in force. The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the installer. USING THE BURNERS The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner. Automatic start-up with valves Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob. Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed for about 6 seconds. Using the burners In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2). Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the closing point. The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing position. If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to the start-up point (large flame, fig. 1). BURNERS POWER W Ø of pots Auxiliary 1000 10 - 14 cm Semi-rapid 1750 16-18 cm Rapid 3000 20 - 22 cm Douple crown 3500 18-20 cm Triple crown 4200 22 - 24 cm Notice When the equipment is not working, always check that the knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1). If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas supply, after a few seconds. To restore operation, set the knob to the lighting point (large flame, fig. 1) and press. While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as these substances can catch fire when overheated. Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation. Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or overflowing. Make sure that pot handles are placed properly. When the burner is started up, check that the flameis regular and, before taking pots away, always lowerthe flame or put it out. CLEANING Before any operation, disconnect the appliance from the electric grid. Don't use a steam cleaner for the cleaning the hob. It is advisable to clean the appliance when it is cold. Enamelled parts The enamelled parts must be washed with a sponge and soapy water or with a light detergent. Do not use abrasive or corrosive products. Do not leave substances, such as lemon or tomato juice, salt water, vinegar, coffee and milk on the enamelled surfaces for a long time. Stainless steel parts Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents for an extended period of time. The stainless steel parts should also be cleaned with soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth. Burners and racks These parts can be removed to make cleaning easier. The burners must be washed with a sponge and soapy water or with a light detergent, wiped well and placed in their housing perfectly. Make sure that the flame-dividing ducts are not clogged. Check that the feeler of the safety valve and the start-up electrode are always perfectly cleaned, so as to ensure an optimum operation.
