High heat

A normal "La Cornue" burner in the Cornuchef range has a thermal
power of 3.2 kW and a small burner has a thermal power of 1.85 kW.
A wide range of heat intensities is therefore at your disposal.
They are specially designed to provide a stable flame, with no release of
carbon dioxide, and are equipped with a safety thermocouple: if the
flame goes out because of a spill or draft the gas supply is automatically
shut off. For optimal use, we recommend using pots and pans with a
base diameter larger than 12 cm.
To ignite a burner:
knob and turning it to the left, to the "high flame" position.
A spark directly lights the gas once the knob is pressed and turned.
Keep the knob pressed in for 5 to 10 seconds, this short period of time is needed for the safety
device to be activated. You will hear ticking round. This means that the electronic ignition
system is working properly.
When you release the knob, the burner should remain lit: the safety device is therefore in
operation.
If the burner is out: repeat the operation, keeping the control knob pressed in for a
little longer this time. When the system is new, the safety device takes a little longer
to activate.
Then adjust the burner to between "high flame" and "low flame", to obtain the
level of heat you desire.
Low:
this is obtained by turning the knob as far to the left as possible, to the "low flame"
position.

Turning off:

Turn the knob clockwise until it is in a vertical position.
the gas is turned on by pressing in the control
