USING BURNERS ON COOKTOP
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner cor r esponds to that knob. Each control
knob controls a gas valve and built-in flame safety device.

Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Turn the control knob that corresponds
to the burner selected anticlockwise, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame on the control
knob (Fig. 18) and hold a lit match to the burner. Press the knob down and hold for 2 seconds after the burner ignites so
the thermocouple heats up. Release the control knob and adjust to the correct setting.

Electric ignition: Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected anticlockwise, setting it to the
MAXIMUM position (large flame on the control knob (Fig. 18). Keep pressing the knob down at this position until the
burner ignites, and then wait 2 seconds for the thermocouple to heat up. Release the control knob and adjust to the
correct setting.
Note:
It is recommended not to try to ignite a burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position.
Tips for using burners correctly:

Use suitably sized pots for each burner (see tab. 4 and Fig. 19).
 When the liquid is boiling turn the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame Fig. 18).
 Use pots with a cover when available.
 Large utensils exceeding the recommended maximum size can cause excessive heat to reflect back onto the appliance,
potentially damaging the appliance and causing a temperature hazard.
ATTENTION: Use Pots with a flat bottom for more efficient heat transfer.
USING THE OVEN THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB
The thermostat is used to set the maximum internal temperature of the oven. Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise and
align the selected temperature indicated on the knob with the index etched on the control panel above it. Thermostat operation
is indicated by an orange light which will turn off when the temperature inside the oven is 10°C greater than the temperature
setting, and will turn on when the oven is 10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven elements
only if an oven function has been set. For electronic timers (OF916FKXP), the timer must be off ("A" symbol off) or running.
