Using burners
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob.
Manual ignition:
Manual ignition is always possible even when the power is cut off or in the event of prolonged power failure. Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame) and place a lit match up to the burner.
Burners fitted with a safety device (thermocouple):
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame) and then press the knob down to activate the spark ignition. Once ignited, keep pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner does not remain alight after releasing the knob repeat the above procedure,
Note: Dual burner is composed by two burner (inside and outside); each one operates under the relative gas valve indipendently from the other one.
Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite the burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position
Tips for using burners correctly:
WARNING: During use of each gas burner(s) adjust the burner flame size properly so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This is an instruction based on safety considerations
-Use suitable pots for each burner (see Fig. 18 and Table B)
-When the liquid is boiling, turn down the knob to the MINIMUM position.
-Always use pots with a cover.

Correct usage of pans:
-Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hotplate.
-Use pots with a flat, thick bottom, except for wok cooking.
-When using the burners, ensure that the handles of the pans are correctly positioned. Keep children away from the appliance.
-When cooking foods with oil and fat, which are very flammable, the user should not leave the appliance unattended.
WARNING: If the power is cut off, the burners can be lit with matches.
The burners equipped with a safety thermocouple can only be lit when the knob is in the MAXIMUM position (large flame etching).
Note: The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Therefore, proper ventilation in the room is needed and natural ventilation openings must remain unobstructed and activating the mechanical exhaust fan/range hood. Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example by opening a window, or increasing the power of the mechanical exhaust fan/range hood, if installed.
