Igniting and adjusting
A symbol above the control knob indicates which burner is
being oparated.
With spark ignition
Press the control knob in and turn it anti-clockwise. The burner
ignites. In the case of appliances with flame failure device you
must hold the control knob pressed in for approximately
5 seconds to switch the flame failure device on.
Without spark ignition
While keeping the knob of the burner held in, turn the knob to
the left (to the high setting) and light the burner with a match.
If the burner does not ignite, check wether:
- the burner head is correctly installed;
- the buner parts are clean and dry.
Each burner can be adjusted continuously between the high
and low positions.
Caution:
glass lid may shatter when heated. Turn off all burners before shutting the lid.

Optimal use of the gas hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan.
•
If flames play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In
addition, the handles can get too hot. Do not use pans
with a base diameter less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not
be stable.
When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deepfrying it is better
•
to use the rapid burner.
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer burner. On
•
its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
For all other dishes use the semi-rapid burners.
•
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
•
Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and pans with
•
a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
