Using burners
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that
knob.

etched star (large flame) and place a lit match up to the burner.
Automatic electric ignition:
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the
etched star (large flame) and then press the knob down to activate the spark ignition. Release the knob
some second after the burner has ignited.
Burners fitted with a safety device (thermocouple):
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the
etched star (large flame) and then press the knob down to activate the spark ignition. Once ignited, keep
pressing the knob for about 10 seconds to allow the flame to heat the thermocouple. If the burner does not
remain alight after releasing the knob repeat the above procedure,
Use of the Dual burner (Fig.16)
This model controls both the central and the external crown of the burner with just one valve.
To ignite the central crown and the external crown of the burner, press and turn the knob to the maximum
delivery position 1
and hold it down until ignition; in this position both the internal and the external flame are at maximum.
Turn the knob to position 2 to have the external crown at minimum and the internal crown at maximum flame
Turn the knob to position 3 to have the internal crown at maximum and the external crown off
Turn the knob to position 4 to have the internal crown at minimum and the external crown off.
Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite the burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position
Tips for using burners correctly:
WARNING: During use of each gas burner(s) adjust the burner flame size properly so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This is an instruction based on safety considerations
- Use suitable pots for each burner (see Fig. 17 and Table B)
- When the liquid is boiling, turn down the knob to the MINIMUM position.
- Always use pots with a cover.
