Hob burners control knobs
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.
To light a burner, push in the relevant knob and
turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position".
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. C) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
gas supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) is in the
correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.

Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel.
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom..
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or
oil, since these types of foodstuff can result
in a fire, if over-heated.
