entire hob area may become hot.

relative knob anti-clockwise to the
maximum flame setting.

This burner safety device shuts off the gas
supply to the burner if the flame goes out
accidentally (because of sudden draught,

The knob must not be pressed for more than
15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the
burner does not remain lit, wait at least
one minute before trying to light it again.
