ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITION
To light the burner you have to rotate
the knob (fig. 3.2) corresponding to the
specific burner to the maximum flame
position (large flame symbol) and press
the ignition button marked by the symbol
(fig. 3.3).
The sparks produced by the electrodes
situated next to the burner will light the
selected burner.
If conditions of the local gas supply
makes it difficult to light the gas burner
with the knob set to the high flame posi-
tion, rotate the knob to the lower flame
position and repeat the ignition.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
N.B. When the cooker is not being used,
set the gas knobs to their closed posi-
tions and also close the cock valve on
the gas bottle or the main gas supply
line.
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the
capacity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
It is important that the diameter of the
pot be suitable to the potentiality of the
burner so as not to compromise the high
output of the burners and therefore
energy waste.
A small pot on a large burner does not
give you a boiling point in a shorten
amount of time since the capacity of
heat absorption of a liquid mass
depends on the volume and the surface
of the pot.
