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.
When using models with an ignition button, light the
desired burner by first pressing the gas burners
button (identifiable by the
symbol), then
pressing down the corresponding knob as far as
possible and turning it anticlockwise towards the
maximum setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition switch
incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case,
the ignitor is present, but not the switch (the
symbol is located near each knob).
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
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
Use the appropriate cookware for each burner
(see table) in order to prevent the flame from
reaching the sides of the pot or pan;
Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep
the lid on;
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the
section entitled, "Burner and Nozzle Specifications".
