IGNITION AND OPERATION OF THE BURNERS
In order to ignite a burner, push down on the knob while rotating it
counterclockwise, until the knob indicator is aligned with the ignite icon .
For models with a safety valve - Once the flame is lit, hold the knob depressed
for about 3-4 seconds until 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. Adjust the flame intensity by rotating the knob counterclockwise
from MAX (maximum) to MIN (minimum).
To turn off the burner, rotate the knob clockwise until the indicator on the
knob is aligned with OFF.
POWER FAILURE
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold
a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise until the indicator is
aligned with MAX. After the burner is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
In the case of unintentional flame extinguishing, the safety valve intervenes
by shutting off the gas to the burners.
The electric igniter must not be actuated for longer than 15 seconds. Should
the burner not light, or should the burner be unintentionally turned off,
immediately close the burner, and wait at least 1 minute before repeating.
Once ignited, adjust the flame as desired.
For lower gas consumption and a better result, use saucepans with a diameter
matching the diameter of the burner, to avoid the flame coming up around the
sides of the saucepan. See the Container Table. Use only flat-bottomed pans.
As soon as liquid starts to boil, turn the flame down to a level sufficient to
maintain boiling.
COOKWARE
MATCH PAN DIAMETER TO FLAME SIZE
The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use
small pans with high flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to rear, not side to side.
USE BALANCED PANS
Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking. Center the pan over
the burner.

USE A LID THAT FITS PROPERLY
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time. Flat, heavy bottom pans
provide even heat and stability.
