Some models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, the ignitor is present, but not the button.

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
GB
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.
