Cooktop burners INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
· Low setting: this is achieved by rotating the knob fully to the left or to the bottom (fig. 12).
· Shutoff: bring the knob back to its vertical position by rotating it to the right.
In case the burner flame is accidentally turned off, close the burner control knob and do not turn
on the burner for at least one minute.
Igniting cooktop burners without electricity
If there is a power failure the cooktop burners can be lit with a match.
1. Hold a burning match 1cm from the burner head, keeping your hand as far horizontally away
from the burner as possible.
2. Push and turn the burner control knob to solid flame position. As soon as the burner flame
lights move your hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the knob pressed for a few
seconds so that the burner safety device can "sense" the heat of the flame.
3. Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when you have finished using it.
Make sure flames are under the pans. For safety
reasons, adjust the flames so that they do not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This
instruction is based on safety considerations (Fig. 13).
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned
base rims should not be used (Fig. 14).
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the grates (Fig. 15).
Avoid using unstable or misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g.
milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig. 16).
The minimum pan diameter recommended is 12 cm
for the outer burners and 16 cm for the center burner.
