USING BURNERS
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. The
burners can be ignited in different ways depending on the type of appliance and its specific characteristics.
¾
Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off):
Turn the knob anticlockwise that
corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig.23A-
23B-23C) and hold a lit match to the burner.
¾
Electric ignition:
Turn the knob counterclockwise that corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the
MAXIMUM position (large flame Fig. 23A-23B-23C) and keep on pressing the knob in correspondence with the
ignition symbol marked with a star (for cookers equipped with ignition through knob) or press the ignition button
marked with a star and release it as soon as the burner has ignited.

:
Turn the knob anticlockwise that
corresponds to the burner selected, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame Fig. 23A-
23B-23C), press the knob and activate one of the above-mentioned ignition devices. Once ignited, keep
pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner goes out after
releasing the knob, repeat the entire operation.
