To light a burner:
z
turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the
maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;
z
upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds.
This will allow the "thermocouple" (see
diagram, D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
z
then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram, A-B) are in
the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
