IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, it is necessary to depress the knob while rotating it anti-clockwise, till the index
is aligned with the position corresponding to the maximum gas delivery (i.e. the large flame symbol). As far
as the models equipped with a safety valve are concerned, once the flame is lit hold the knob
depressed for about 3-4 seconds till the device keeps the burner
automatically lit. If the burner fails to ignite,wait one minute
for the gas to dissipate before attempting to reignite. At this
moment it is possible to adjust the flame intensity by rotating
the knob anticlockwise from Such maximum position to the minimum
one (i.e. the small flame symbol).
In order to turn the burner off, rotate the knob clockwise bringing
the index back to the position corresponding to the closure symbol ( ).
RECOMMENDATIONS
In case of electric power failure, it is necessary to carry out the above-described operations by putting a gas
lighter or a flame near the burner (in such an event, pay the utmost attention not to burn yourself).
The safety valve (for models where such item is provided) intervenes in case of accidental flame failure,
blocking the gas delivery (e.g.: air draughts, spillage of liquids, etc.).
In any case, the ignition device must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should the ignition
manoeuvre fail, or should the burner be accidentally turned off, immediately close the actuation knob and
repeat the ignition after one minute at least.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the flame according to your needs.
Advice on the use of gas burners
For lower gas consumption and a better yield, use saucepans with diameter suitable for the burners,
avoiding the flame coming up round the side of the saucepan (see the Container Table). Use only flat-
bottomed pans.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to maintain boiling.
During cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful because if they overheat they could catch fire.
