How to use surface burners
Choice of cookware
Mind that the diameter of a pan base is always
larger than the burner flame crown, and that
the pan itself is covered. The recommended
pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger
than the burner diameter, that is, for:
an auxiliary burner – a pan with a diameter
of 90 to 150 mm,
a medium burner – a pan with a diameter
of 160 to 220 mm,
a large burner – a pan with a diameter of
200 to 240 mm, and the pan height should
not be greater than its diameter.
Ignition without an ignitor
light a match,
press in the knob to the end and turn it
left to the “large flame” position
ignite gas with a match,
set required flame size (e.g. “economical”
),
switch off the burner after finishing
cooking, turning the knob right (to the off
position
).
Gas burner control knobs

Caution!
The cooker is equipped with a surface
burner safety valve, hold the knob
pressed down to the end when ignit-
ing for 10 seconds at the “large flame”
position to activate the safety device.
Operation of the burner protection valve
Automatic system cuts off gas supply to a
burner when the flame has disappeared.
This system protects the cooker against gas
leakage when the flame on a burner goes out
e.g. in case of spillage.
The user’s intervention is needed to re-ignite
the burner.
