RECOMMENDATIONS
In case of electric power failure, it is necessary to carry out the above-described
operations by putting a gas lighter or a flame near the burner (in such an event,
pay the utmost attention not to burn yourself).
In any case, the ignition device must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds.
Should the ignition manoeuvre fail, or should the burner be accidentally turned
off, immediately close the actuation knob and repeat the ignition after one
minute at least.
Once the ignition has taken place, adjust the flame according to your needs.
ADVICE ON THE USE OF GAS BURNERS
For lower gas consumption and a better yield, use saucepans with diameter
suitable for the burners, avoiding the flame coming up round the side of the
saucepan (see the Container Table). Use only flat-bottomed pans.
As soon as a liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to
maintain boiling. During cooking, when using fats and oils, be very careful
because if they overheat they could catch fire.
