Igniting the Burners
To ignite the burners, follow these instructions:
1. Lightly press the control knob (shown on the right) and turn the knob anti-
clockwise to the maximum position. Press and hold the control down to
begin the ignition process (a clicking sound will be heard).
2. Once the burner is lit, adjust the burner power to the required position.
To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise past the maximum setting to

If a burner does not ignite, or turns off accidentally, turn the control knob
to the ‘off’ position, and wait for one minute before attempting to reignite
the burner.
•
If the burner does not ignite, repeat the ignition process with the burner at
the minimum position.
