Hob burner
The knob has 3 positions: off (0), maximum (big flame symbol) and minimum (small flame
symbol). Ignite the burner with the knob in the 'maximum' position; you can then adjust
the flame length between the 'maximum' and 'minimum' positions. Do not operate the
burners when the knob is between the 'maximum' and 'off' positions.
After ignition, visually check the flames. If you see a yellow tip, lifted or unstable flame,
switch the gas flow off, then check the assembly of burner caps and crowns
once they have cooled. Make sure there is no liquid in the burner caps. If the burner flames
go out accidentally, switch the burners off, ventilate the kitchen with fresh air and wait at
least 90 seconds before attempting re-ignition.
To switch the hob burners of
f, turn the hob burner knob clockwise to the ‘0’ po
sition or so
that the marker on the hob burner knob points upwards.
Your hob has burners of different diameters.
You will find that the most economical way of using gas is to choose the correct size gas
burner for your cooking pan size and to bring the flame to the 'minimum' position once
boiling point is reached. We recommend that you always cover your cooking pan to avoid
heat loss.
