Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the corresponding control knob:

Off

Maximum

Minimum

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum setting.

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up.

To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it in the counter- clockwise direction to the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.

!If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
