USING BURNERS
A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that
knob.
(flame)
Manual ignition:
Manual ignition is always possible even when the power is cut off or in the event of prolonged power failure.
Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected counterclockwise to the MAXIMUM position at the 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 anticlockwise direction 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,
Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite the burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position
Note: Dual burner is composed by two burner (inside and outside); each one operates under the relative gas valve
indipendently from the other one.
Instructions for the ignition of the dual wok burner: turn on the central burner first, then turn on the external ring.
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. and Table )
- When the liquid is boiling, turn down the knob to the MINIMUM position.
- Always use pots with a cover.
Correct flame aspect: verify that aspect flame of the worktop burners be completely blue and with an aspect as
indicated in figure(flame)
