Every hotplate features a safety pilot (thermocouple).
This means that if the flame ever goes out (e.g. is
extinguished by boiled-over liquid), the flow of gas is
interrupted.
To ensure that this device is active, switch on the burner
as usual and, without releasing the control knob, press
and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the
flame.
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
