3.1.1 Power failure
In case of a prolonged power outage you can manually lit the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the low flame symbol . After the burner
lights, turn the knob to the desired setting.
3.2 Practical advices to use the burners
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation around the burner grate edges.
To achieve a better performance of the burners and and minimum gas consumption,
flat bottomed, levelled cookware with lids should be used, and they should also be
proportioned to the burners (see paragraph “3.3 Diameter of cookware”).
To avoid overcooking or damage the surface top while cooking, all cookware or
griddles must be positioned within the cooktop perimeter and at a minimum distance of
3-4 cm / 1 ½” from the knobs.
Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape. A good flame is blue in
color, not yellow. Keep the burner ports area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to entre the burner ports.
NOTE: Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using
empty cookware or without cookware on the grate.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
