the control knob to the "Off" position and open the
door or window in the room. Wait at least one
minute before igniting the burner again.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one
minute.
ATTENTION!
The burner may go out accidentally.
▶
If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, switch off
the burner's selector and wait at least one minute
before igniting the burner again.
