Put the knob back in place and check the stability of the burner flame (the flame must not go out when the knob is turned quickly from the maximum to the minimum setting). Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.

On models equipped with valves, keep the knob pressed down on the minimum setting for a few seconds to keep the flame alight and prime the safety device.

To adjust the minimum level when using bottled gas, the adjuster screw beside the tap rod must be turned fully clockwise.
