ß the gas supply is turned off
& strong flame
/ weak flame
Switching on:
^ The control for the burner required
must be pressed in and turned
anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol to switch on.
^ When the flame ignites, keep the
control pressed in for 8-10 seconds,
and then let it go.
If the flame goes out, repeat the
procedure, keeping the control pressed
in for a few extra seconds.

^ With the control no longer pressed in
you can continue turning it towards
the small flame symbol.
Control the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the
pan. As the outer part of the flame is
much hotter than the centre, the tips of
the flames should stay beneath the pan
base. Flame tips which extend beyond
the sides of the pan merely warm up
the air in the room and can also
damage pan handles and increase the
danger of burning.
Switching off:
^ Turn the control clockwise until the ß
position is reached.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
Remember: Turn anti-clockwise to
switch on, turn clockwise to switch
off. The controls cannot be turned
anti-clockwise from the small flame
symbol to the "ß" position.
