Gas burners
The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most
appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being
used.
The burner can be regulated with the corresponding
control knob "M" by using one of the following settings:
Off
High flame
Low flame
The symbols ( ) near the knobs show the position
of the relative burner on the hob.
The burners are fitted with automatic ignition and flame
failure device, which automatically cuts off the gas from
the burner in a few seconds if the flame accidentally
goes out during operation.
To ignite a burner proceed as follows:
• turn the knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is on
the high-flame symbol.
• press the relevant knob down fully to activate the
automatic gas ignition.
• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds
with the flame lit to allow the flame failure device to be
heated.
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If
it is not, repeat the operation.
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting
the knob anywhere between the high and the low flame
symbol.
To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off
position " " .
Important:
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more
than 15 consecutive seconds.
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the
gas duct.
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas
continues to exit for a few moments before the flame
failure device activates. Turn the control knob to the
off position and do not attempt ignition again for at
least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas disperse, which
could otherwise be a danger.
• When you are not using the gas hob, check that the
knobs are in the off position " ". The main gas supply
