Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.

Gas burners

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the

corresponding control knob:

● Off

Maximum

Minimum

To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at

the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise

to the maximum setting.

Since the burner is tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed

for approximately 6 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the ame

alight to heat up.

When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner by rst

pressing the gas burners button (identiable by the symbol), then pressing

down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise

towards the maximum setting.

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.

To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and

then turn it in the counter-clockwise direction to the “High” setting, keeping

it pressed in until the burner lights.

! If a ame 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

To ensure the burners operate efciently:

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames

do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

• Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.

• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
