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

to the maximum setting.

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

for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the

flame alight to heat up.

! 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

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.
