In order to ignite the range burner, you must push in the knob while rotating it
counterclockwise until the top is aligned with the position corresponding to the
maximum burner power. When working with models that are equipped with a
safety valve, once the  ame is lit, hold the knob in for about 3-4 seconds till the
device keeps the burner automatically lit. If the burner fails to ignite, wait one
minute for the gas to dissipate before attempting to reignite. At this time you can
adjust the  ame intensity by rotating the knob counterclockwise from the highest
position to the lowest one. To turn the burner off, rotate the knob clockwise
bringing the index back to the position corresponding to the closure symbol.
In the event of an electrical power failure, it is necessary to carry out the steps
above by putting a gas lighter or a  ame near the burner (Caution: please make
sure not to burn yourself).
The safety valve (for models where such item is provided) will intervene in the
event of accidental  ame failure (e.g.: air draughts, spillage of liquids, etc.), by
blocking the gas delivery.
The ignition device on any burner must not be actuated for longer than 15
seconds. Should the ignition attempt fail, or should the burner be accidentally
turned off, immediately turn the burner knob off and repeat the ignition after at
least one minute.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the  ame according to your needs.
For lower gas consumption and better cooking ef ciency, use cookware with
diameters suitable for the burners, avoiding the  ame coming up round the
side of the cookware (see the “Recommended Pan Size” table). Use only  at-
bottomed cookware.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the  ame down to a level strong enough to
maintain the boil.
While cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful as they may catch  re if
overheated.
