Operation of gas burners with safety and electric ignition

To light one of the burners:

• Press and turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise to the large flame symbol .

• At the same time, keep the knob pressed against the control panel until the burner ignites . The igniter spark will light the burner.

• Once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds.

• Release the knob.

If the burner fails to light, repeat the above steps.

Note:

The burner safety device shuts off the gas if the flame goes out accidentally (sudden draughts, interruption in gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).

The device must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If the burner does not stay alight after this time has elapsed, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.

Important:

Improper use of the grates could scratch the hob: do not place the grates upside down and/or slide them on the hob.

It is inadvisable to use:

• cast iron grills or earthenware pots and pans

• dissipators such as metal mesh etc.

• two burners simultaneously for one container (e.g. fish kettle).
