SURFACE BURNER OPERATION

THERMOCOUPLE SAFETY VALVE
Each surface burner of a Bertazzoni range is equipped with a thermocouple safety device.
The thermocouple opens the flow of gas to the burner only when hot. Should the flame go off, the

thermocouple will immediately close the gas flow to the burner eliminating any risk to your home.
For faster activation of the thermocouple, always light the burners on maximum power. This will allow the

thermocouple to reach the optimum temperature in the fastest time.

ELECTRIC IGNITION

To activate the electric ignition, simply turn the control knob counter-clockwise to maximum power (
position). Press the knob to start the flow of gas and the ignition spark. The spark will released at the metal
tip of the white ceramic pin located on the side of the burner. Once the flame is on, release the control knob
gently.

If the flame turns off, repeat the above procedure.
The dual power-burner is composed by two burners (inside and outside). Each burner is activated by a

separate control knob. The two burners can be operated separately or together for maximum power. To
activate the power-burner, turn on the central burner first, then turn on the external ring.

ATTENTION: do not ignite burners if the black burner cap is not installed or not centred. The flame will be
irregular.

MANUAL IGNITION
Manual ignition is always possible even when the power is cut off or in the event of power failure.

Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the MAXIMUM position. Light the flame with a kitchen
lighter or with a match.

Using burners

A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that
knob.

Manual ignition:
Manual ignition is always possible even when the power is cut off or in the event of prolonged power failure.
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the
etched star (large flame) and place a lit match up to the burner.
Burners fitted with a safety device (thermocouple):
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the
etched star (large flame) and then press the knob down to activate the spark ignition. Once ignited, keep
pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner does not
remain alight after releasing the knob repeat the above procedure,

IMPORTANT: Take care of reset all worktop/oven/broiler burners controls in OFF position after use of the
appliance.
