Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
lpush in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlock ise to maximum position;
lupon ignition, keep the knob pushed do n about 5
seconds. This ill allo the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 -
letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
s itched off, other ise the gas supply ould be
interrupted;
lthen adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans ith a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

diameter diameter
Large (double-cro n) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
If you use a saucepan hich is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame ill spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn do n the
flame so that it ill barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
