The valve knobs on the cooktop have 3 positions: Off (0), Max (large flame symbol), and Min
(small flame symbol). After having ignited the burner and set it to the ‘Max’ position, as explained
above, you have the option to adjust the flame height between the ‘Max’ and ‘Min’ positions.
Avoid setting the knob to between the ‘Max’ and ‘Off’ positions.

After ignition, visually check the flames. If you can see a yellow tip or suspended or unstable
flames, turn off the gas supply and check that the burner caps and crowns are correctly positioned
(Fig. 13). Caution, these elements are extremely hot; wait for them to cool to avoid burns. Make
sure that no liquid runs into the burners. If the flames accidentally flare outside of the burner,
close the valves, air the kitchen with fresh air, and wait at least 90 seconds before igniting the
burner again.
To stop cooking, turn the burner knob clockwise until the mark on the knob is opposite the ‘0’
point (the mark on the knob must be up).
Your cooker is fitted with burners with different diameters. In order to make sure the burners
are functioning efficiently, take note of the size of the pots/pans placed on the burners, and use
perfectly level pans. Don't use pans with a concave or convex base, in order to avoid energy loss.
Make sure the size of the pots/pans corresponds to the flame. If you’re using pots/pans which
are smaller than those specified below, this may cause energy loss. To use gas as economically
as possible, set the flame to the minimum position once boiling point has been reached. We
advise that you always cover your cooking pot/pan.
