BURNER OPERATION
1. Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to
the max. flame symbol.
2. Press the knob against the control panel to light
the burner.
3. When the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed
for about 5 seconds to allow the thermocouple (provided for each burner) to heat up. This safety device shuts off the gas if the flame goes out accidentally (draughts, interruption of gas, liquids boiling over, etc.).
The device must not be operated for more than 15 sec. If the burner does not remain lit after this time, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again. It may happen that the burner goes out when the knob is released. This means that the thermocouple has not heated up enough. In this case, repeat the operations described above.
