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.
