Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following
settings using the corresponding control knob:
• Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter
near the burner and, at the same time, press down
and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the
maximum setting.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3
seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
flame alight to heat up.
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding
knob all the way in and then turn it in the counter-
clockwise direction to the "High" setting, keeping it
pressed in until the burner lights.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
