Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown
on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings
using the corresponding control knob:
● Off
Maximum
Minimum
To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or
lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and
turn it anti-clockwise to the “High” setting.
On those models fitted with a safety device, the knob must
be pressed in for about 2-3 seconds until the device that
keeps the flame lit warms up.
On those models fitted with an ignitor, the ignition button,
identified by the symbol, must first be pressed and then
the corresponding knob pushed all the way in and turned
anti-clockwise to the “High” setting.
Some models are equipped with an ignition button
incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the
ignitor is present, but not the button. To light a burner, simply
press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn
it anti-clockwise to the “High” setting, keeping it pressed in
until the burner lights.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control
knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the “●” position).
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table)
so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of
the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn
the knob to minimum.
