To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner
and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob

To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and
then turn it in the counter-clockwise direction 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).
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.
