3.3IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite the range burner, you must push in the knob while rotating it counterclockwise until the top is aligned with the position corresponding to the maximum burner power. When working with models that are equipped with a safety valve, once the flame is lit, hold the knob in for about
3.4RECOMMENDATIONS
In the event of an electrical power failure, it is necessary to carry out the steps above by putting a gas lighter or a flame near the burner (Caution: please make sure not to burn yourself).
The safety valve (for models where such item is provided) will intervene in the event of accidental flame failure (e.g.: air draughts, spillage of liquids, etc.), by blocking the gas delivery.
The ignition device on any burner must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the ignition attempt fail, or should the burner be accidentally turned off, immediately turn the burner knob off and repeat the ignition after at least one minute.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the flame according to your needs.
For lower gas consumption and better cooking efficiency, use cookware with diameters suitable for the burners, avoiding the flame coming up round the side of the cookware (see the “Recommended Pan Size” table). Use only flat- bottomed cookware.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level strong enough to maintain the boil.
While cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful as they may catch fire if overheated.
