GAS BURNER IGNITION AND REGULATION

For models with single action automatic ignition, place a pan on the burner
grate. Push in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT-HIGH
setting. A clicking sound will be heard and the burner will light, fig. 2. (All
surface ignitors will spark when any control knob is turned to the LIGHT-HIGH
position), keep it pushed in till burner lights. After the burner lights, turn the
knob to the desired flame size, fig.1.

For models equipped with both electronic ignition and safety device, follow
the same procedure as for models with automatic ignition described above,
but you have to keep pushing in for at less 5 seconds till thermocouple is hot
enough. Then release the knob and the burner should remain on.

During a power failure, hold a lighted match to the desired burner head. Push
in and turn the knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT-HIGH setting. After the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame size, fig.1.

COOKWARE

To achieve optimum surface cooking performance, select heavy gauge, flat,
smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.

Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy and cook food more
evenly.

Remember to use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped
and stay cool. To minimise burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over
adjacent surfaces burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back
of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by
small children.

NOTES FOR COOKWARE ON GAS BURNERS

We recommend the following pan size per each type of burner, fig. 3:

BURNER TYPE COOKING PAN BOTTOM SIZE
Rapid – (Large) from 200 to 250 mm Ø
Semi-rapid (Medium) from 150 to 200 mm Ø
Simmer (Small)) from 75 to 150 mm Ø
Double ring (Wok) from 250 to 280 mm Ø

Fig. 3

Burner operational Notes:

- A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds.

If using natural gas the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

- If sooting is noticed on pan bottom, contact a service technician to adjust.

- If the control knob is turned very quickly from HIGH to LOW, the flame may

go out, particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the
OFF position, wait several seconds and relight the burner.

- The flame should not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
