USING THE COOKTOP
Lighting the burners
A diagram is screened beside each knob on the control panel of your cooktop.
This diagram indicates to which burner the knob in question corresponds. After
having opened the gas main or bottled gas tap, light the burners as described
below:
The knobs of the burners are equipped with a safety cut-off device. They must
be turned in a counter-clockwise direction until they reach the full-on position
(large flame icon, Fig. 8) and come to a stop. Now push down on the knob. The
burner should ignite in 2 or 3 seconds. Keep the knob depressed as you turn it
toward the reduced rate position (small flame icon, Fig. 8) to adjust the flame.
Should the flame accidentally go out, turn the burner control knob off and wait at
least 1 minute before attempting to light it again.
Proper use of the burners
To achieve maximum efficiency with the least possible gas consumption, keep
the following instructions in mind:
•
Use the correct pan size for each burner. (See the following table and Fig. 9.)
•
When the pan comes to a boil, set the knob to a reduced rate position (small
flame icon, Fig. 8).
•
Always put lids on the pans.
•
Use only flat-bottomed pans.
