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.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS

For maximum burner efficiency, comply with the following rules:

• Use pots and pans of suitable size for each burner

(see table opposite).

• Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

• Use the right amount of water for cooking foods

and keep the lid on.

• Do not use pots and pans that protrude over the

edge of the hob

Do not use:

• Two burners at the same time with only one pot

(e.g. fish kettle).

Important:

Do not place and/or drag the grids upside down on the hob as they could scratch it.
