Ignition of hob burners

To ignite a burner, before positioning the saucepan:

- press the ignition switch marked by a small spark (

- push the corresponding knob in completely and turn
in an anticlockwise direction to the maximum position;

- keep the knob pushed for about 5 seconds: this will
allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2 - D) to be heated
and the safety devise to be switched off, otherwise
the gas supply would be interrupted

- upon ignition regulate the flame as required.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the baffle and its cap are correctly positioned.
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a

Pottery

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking cakes.
In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar leak
through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing
gas consumption as in Fig. 3.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.
