simultaneously turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol
Hold down the knob for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the
safety device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. If this
happens, repeat the procedure, holding the knob down for longer.
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device
will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open.

Practical tips for using the burners

For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, pans
with flat, even bases and with lids should be used, and their size
should be in proportion to the burner (see "5.5 Pan diameters").
During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the hob top, all
pans or griddles must be positioned inside the outer edge of the hob
and at a minimum distance of 5-7 cm must be maintained from the
knobs.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at
least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.
