knob all the way in and then turn it in the counter-
clockwise direction to the "High" setting, keeping it
pressed in until the burner lights.
Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3
seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
flame alight to heat up.

control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
trying to relight it.

The "double-flame" burner*
This gas burner consists of two concentric flame
rings. Using both flame rings enables a higher power
level to be reached, thus reducing cooking time with
respect to the time required by traditional burners. The
double ring also enables heat to be distributed across
the base of the pan more evenly.
Cookware of all sizes may be used; when cooking
with small recipients use only the inner burner. The
burner is controlled with a single knob.
To light it, press the knob in fully and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction until it reaches the maximum
position
. The burner is equipped with an electronic
lighting system that is activated automatically when
the knob is pressed.
As the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob
should be held down for approximately 2-3 seconds,
until the automatic device keeping the flame alight has
heated up.
Each burner can be adjusted using the control knob
as follows:
Off
On and inner ring set to maximum
Inner ring set to minimum
Both rings set to maximum
Both rings set to minimum
To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
direction until it stops (when it reaches the position).
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the
bottom of the cookware.
Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point,
turn the knob to minimum.
