Cooktop Burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls. Each burner has a special safety device
that stops the fl ow of gas if the fl ame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the (
) lighting position.
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through
to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark
and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control
to the off position and wait one minute, then try again
this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
Adjust the fl ame height to suit by turning the knob. On
this range the low position is beyond high, not between
high and off. The ‘LO’ marks the low position. Turn the
knob towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
Make sure fl ames are under the pans. For safety
reasons, adjust the fl ames so that they do not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction
is based on safety considerations.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the grates.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan
diameter recommended is 4

”.
The Wok burners are designed to provide even heat
over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and
stir frying. When using large pans ensure that the
pan does not over hang the edge of the cooktop. For
heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more
effi cient.
When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in,
sparks will be made at every burner, this is
normal.
If after lighting, a cooktop burner’s fl ame goes
out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity
If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners
can be lit with a match.
1. Hold a burning a match ½ inch from the
burner head keeping your hand as far
horizontally away from the burner as possible.
2. Push and turn burner control knob to HI/
lighting position. As soon as the burner fl ame
lights move your hand away. With your other
hand, keep holding the knob pressed for a few
seconds so that the burner safety device can
‘sense’ the heat of the fl ame.
