OPERATING THE COOKTOP

Lighting the Burners
A diagram is screened beside each knob on the control panel of your cooktop. This diagram
indicates to which burner the knob in question corresponds. After having opened the gas main or
bottled gas tap, light the burners as described below:
The knobs of the burners are equipped with a safety cut-off device. They must be turned in a
counter- clockwise direction until they reach the full-on position (large flame icon, Fig. 8) and come
to a stop. Now push down on the knob. The burner should ignite in 2 or 3 seconds. Keep the knob
depressed as you turn it toward the reduced rate position (small flame icon, Fig. 8) to adjust the
flame. Should the flame accidentally go out, turn the burner control knob off and wait at least 5
minutes to light it again.

Using the Burners

To achieve maximum efficiency with the least possible gas consumption, keep the following
instructions in mind:
• Use the correct pan size for each burner. (See the following table and Fig. 9.)
• When the pan comes to a boil, set the knob to a reduced rate position (small flame icon, Fig. 8).
• Always put lids on the pans.
• Use only flat-bottomed pans.
