To light the burner, press the control knob down and continue to hold the knob down before
rotating the knob anti-clockwise to the high flame position. The ignition of the burner is integrated
into the control knob and is automatically activated by pushing down on the control knob.
After lighting the flame, continue to hold the knob down for 3 seconds. This time is necessary to
heat up the flame failure thermocouple (Fig 1, D) and activate the safety valve, which would
otherwise cut off the gas flow.
In the event of a power failure, it is still possible to operate your appliance. Place a lit match next
to the burner and follow the above steps for normal lighting. If the flame fails to ignite, wait 5
minutes for the gas to dissipate, then attempt to ignite the burner again.
Once lit, check that the flame is even and regular, and turn the control knob to adjust the flame as
required. If the flame is uneven, check that the burner head/skirt (Fig 1, A and B) are correctly
positioned.
To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the "Off" position. Always turn off the
flame before removing pots and pans from the burner.
