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 tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame alight to heat up.
! If a ame 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 efciently:
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
