LIGHTING BURNERS
Electronic ignition
These cooktops are fitted with mains powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob and turn to the ‘High’ 
position (while depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the flame is established.
Flame safeguard models
The knob must be turned to the ‘High’ 
position,
then pushed down as far as possible for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the knob is released, simply depress the knob again, this time holding it down with slightly more force for the same length of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the control knob toward the ‘Low’ 
position.
WARNING
•Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
•If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.
•Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.
In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a
Choice of burners
For your convenience there is a choice of burners:
•A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
•A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
(one on
•A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.
•A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large pot or pan.
To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edge of the pan (Figure 3). Do not boil food too rapidly. A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will waste energy.
