Operation
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and push it down
to ignite. Keep the control knob pressed down for
about 5 seconds, to allow the safety device to be
switched off. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, 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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Centre.
