Operation
Hob Burners
!
To light a burner:
• push in the relevant control knob and
turn it anticlockwise to maximum
position;
• upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down about 5 seconds
the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter D) to
be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply
would be interrupted;
• then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
control knob to zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you
should only use pots and pans with a flat
bottom fitting the size of the burner used
(see table).

Large (rapid)
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm.
Small (Auxiliary)
If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame will
spread beyond the bottom of the vessel,
causing the handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
