Operation procedures 
 

A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. 
 

Manual ignition: 

Manual ignition is always possible even when the electrical supply is cut off or in the vent of a prolonged power failure. 
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star 
(Large flame) and place a lit match up to the burner. This unit operates on a thermocouple safety system. Keep the knob 
depressed for 5- 8 seconds in order for the unit to operate. If the flame is extinguished the thermocouple will cool and the 
safety system will kick in and shut off the gas supply to the burner orifice. In order to relight the burner repeat the 
procedures outlined in this paragraph. 
 

Automatic electric ignition: 

Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star 
(Large flame) and press down on the knob to activate the automatic ignition system. When the burner ignites keep the knob 
depressed for an additional 5-8 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner does not remain lit after 
releasing the knob repeat the procedure outlined in this paragraph. 

 
Tips for using the burners correctly 
 

- Use suitable pots for each burner as shown in Fig. 10. and as shown in the Chart below 
- Always use pots with a cover.

- Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the Cooktop
