Start-up and use

!The position of the corresponding gas burner or

GB	electric hotplate* is shown on every knob.
	Gas burners
	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.
	Some models are equipped with an ignition switch
	incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case,
	the ignitor is present (the		symbol is located
	near each knob).

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.
