AUS
! The position of the corresponding gas burner or
electric hotplate* is shown on every knob.
Gas cooker hobs are equipped with discrete power
adjustment that allows for accurately adjusting the
flame to 5 different power levels. Thanks to this
system, gas hobs are also capable of guaranteeing
the same cooking results for each recipe, as the
optimal power level for the desired type of cooking
can be identified in an easier, more accurate way.
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 pressing down the corresponding
knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.
