- If the burner is difficult to light on, or if the flame is tall or irregular, turn off immediately
turning the knob to "off" position and call Assistance Service.
- If the particular nature of the local gas supply makes it difficult to ignite the burners with the knob
turned to the maximum setting, repeat the operation without a pan in position and with the knob
turned to the minimum setting and without pan stands.
- Warning: The ignition device must not be used for more than 15 seconds. If after this length of time the
burner does not light, or if it goes out again accidentally, wait 1 minute before trying to ignite it again

This is placed on top of the auxiliary burner grid (the smallest one) when pots or pans of reduced
diameter are used, to avoid unbalancing.
Special "WOK" support grid (optional - Fig.1B)
This is placed on top of the triple crown burner when using a "WOK" (concave bottom pan).
In order to prevent serious malfunction of the burner, never use a wok without this special grid
and never use the wok grid for flat bottomed pans

Choosing the right burner

The symbols stamped on the control panel (fig.2) near the knobs indicate which knob correspond
to which burner. To choose the most suitable burner, take into account the diameter of
the pan as well as the pan capacity (see table).
