IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
To light the burner, press the control knob fully down and
hold the knob down before rotating anti-clockwise to
the High Flame position. The ignition device is integrated
into the control knob and is automatically activated by
pushing down on the control knob.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for
about 10 seconds: this time is necessary to heat up the
thermocouple and activate the safety valve, which would
otherwise cut off the gas flow. This step only applies
where flame failure device is fitted.
In the instance of a power failure, place a lit match near
the burner and proceed as described above. If the flame
does not light after the first attempt, wait 5 minutes for
the gas to dissipate before attempting to re-light the
burner.
Once lit, check that the flame is even and turn the control
knob to adjust the flame as required. If the flame is
uneven, check that the 'burner head/skirt' and 'burner
cap' are correctly positioned. To turn off the flame, turn
the control knob clockwise to the off position. Before
removing pots or pans from the burners, always turn off
the flame.
For correct use of the cooktop
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use
only flat bottomed pans of dimensions suitable for the
burners, as shown in the table below. Also, as soon as a
liquid comes to the boil take care to turn the flame down
to a level that will just keep it boiling.
