To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter

Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3
seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
flame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the
desired burner pressing down the corresponding
knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.
If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when reaches the position).
The Mini DUAL burner*
This gas burner consists of two concentric flame
rings. Using both flame rings enables a higher
power level to be reached, thus reducing cooking
time with respect to the time required by traditional
burners. The double ring also enables heat to be
distributed across the base of the pan more evenly.
Cookware of all sizes may be used; when cooking
with small recipients use only the inner burner. The
burner is controlled with a single knob.
To light it, press the knob in fully and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction until it reaches the maximum
position
. The burner is equipped with an
electronic lighting system that is activated
automatically when the knob is pressed.
As the burner is fitted with a safety device,
the
knob should be held down for approximately 2-3
seconds, until the automatic device keeping the
flame alight has heated up.
Each burner can be adjusted using the control knob
as follows:
Off
On and inner ring set to maximum
Inner ring set to minimum
Both rings set to maximum
Both rings set to minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when it reaches the
position).
Practical advice on using the burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
Use the appropriate cookware for each burner
(see table) in order to prevent the flame from
reaching the sides of the pot or pan;
Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep
the lid on;
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in
the section entitled, "Burner and Nozzle
Specifications".
