To turn on one of the burners, place a lighted match or lighter near the burner,
press the knob all the way in and turn it anti-clockwise to the "High" setting.
The knob must be pressed in for about 2-3 seconds until the device that keeps
the flame lit warms up.
Some models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control
knob. If this is the case, the ignitor is present. To light a burner, simply press the
corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to the "High"
setting, keeping it pressed in until the burner lights.
! 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).
Do not place anything, eg.
flame tamer, griddle plate
between pan and pan support
as serious damage to the
appliance may result.
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.

! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used.
• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly fitted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.
• Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on
the pan support grid.
• Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge
of the hob.

The more variable aspect in terms of pan
stability can often be the pan itself, (or
the positioning of that pan during use).
Well balanced pans, with flat bases that
are placed centrally over the burner, with
the pan handles aligned with one of the
support fingers obviously offer the greatest stability.
