A spark is created and the gas ignites.
Keep the knob depressed for an additional 3 to 5 seconds to engage the safety system.

Adjust the flame to the desired level
The large flame symbol on the knob indicates the maximum and the small flame the lowest
setting.
Burner use
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, it is advisable to use pots that are slightly
wider than the burner to ensure that the flame does not spread beyond the edge.
Flame failure –safety cut out.
In the unlikely event of a flame blow out, caused by an overflow of fluid at the burners, a
safety mechanism will automatically shut off the gas approximately 30 seconds after the flame
extinguishes.
Action to be taken in the event of a burn-back
In the event of a burn-back (where the flame burns back into the jet) immediately turn off
the control valve to the affected burner.
After ensuring the flame is extinguished, wait for 1 minute and re-light the burner in the
normal manner.
If the burn-back occurs again, turn off the control valve to the affected burner, and consult
the nearest Defy Service Centre for assistance .
Do not use the appliance again until a service technician has declared it safe to do so.
