Burner ignition
1. Press and turn the burner control knob to the position . The gas feed will be open to maximum.
2. Keep the knob pressed in position , piezo-electric ignitor will generate spark and ignite the gas. Keep the knob
pressed for about 15 seconds to warm up the thermocouple. Then release the knob.
Note:
Never press the burner control knob for longer than 15 seconds. If the flame does not come within
15 seconds, release the knob, move it to position (off ), wait for 1 minute and repeat the attempt.
3. Adjust the required heat output with flame on turning the control knob to the left. The symbol marks minimum
heat output.
Burner flame extinguishing
a) Manual
By turning the knob of the respective burner to position (off) you can close the gas feed and the flame will go off.
b) Automatic (safety)
In the event the flame goes off, e.g. due to draught or boiling over, the thermoelectric cell will close the gas feed
automatically to prevent uncontrolled leakage.
Energy-saving tips
• Pots should have a flat base
Use fairly heavy-duty and flat-bottomed pots. An uneven bottom extends the cooking time.
• Matching pot diameter
Use suitable pots for each burner size.
Note: Realize that the manufacturers often mark a pot with the upper diameter, although the bottom is
smaller.
• Matching pot size
Use a small pot for a small food volume. A larger pot consumes more energy, even when half-empty.
• Use a pot lid
Use lids to cover pots and pans. Cooking without lid increases the energy consumption.
