3.1.1 Power failure
In case of a prolonged power outage you can manually turn on the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the minimum flame symbol . After the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.
3.2 Practical advice on using the burners
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation around the edges of the pan stand.
To achieve a better performance of the burners and and a lower gas consumption, flat
bottomed, levelled cookware with lids should be used, and they should also be
proportioned to the burners (see paragraph “3.3 Diameter of cookware”).
To avoid overcooking or damaging the top surface while cooking, all cookware or
griddles must be positioned within the cooktop perimeter and at a minimum distance of
3-4 cm / 1 ½” from the knobs.
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape. A good flame is blue in
color, not yellow. Keep the burner ports area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
NOTE: Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the pan stand. Do not operate a burner
using empty cookware or without cookware on the pan stand.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
