The gas burners
Each control knob on the oven and on the control panel is
clearly marked to show which burner it controls Fig. 1.
To light one of the burners, press in the control knob of
the respective burner and turn it to the left, as far as the
maximum symbol, and hold it there for a couple of seconds
until the burner lights. Now release the knob and turn it to
the desired heating setting. If the burner does not light,
repeat the process.
If your cooking hob is not fitted with this automatic lighting
feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner. If the
ignition sparkers are dirty, this makes the burner harder to
light, so you should keep them as clean as possible. Clean
them using a small brush, and remember that the ignition
sparkers must be treated very gently. If the burners on your
cooking hob are fitted with safety valves (which stop the
flow of gas if one of the burners accidentally goes out), light
the burners in the same way, though you should continue
to hold in the control knob for a few seconds after the flame
lights. If the burner does not light, repeat the process, this
time keeping the control knob pressed in for 10 seconds.
To turn off the burner, turn the control knob to the right,
to setting 0. When you do this, the ignition system will be
activated once more: do not worry, this is completely
normal.
With the modern and functional cooking hob you have
purchased, you can have progressive taps fitted which
allow you to adjust the flame to the desired heat.
Depending on the model, your cooking hob may have a
double- or a triple-flame burner, which is very practical if
you wish to cook with receptacles such as paella pans or
Chinese woks (to create all kinds of Asian dishes).
If your hob is equipped with a double flame burner type B,
C or D, it will have taps that will allow you to control the
interior and exterior flame individually. Operating description

if possible.
