The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner. Start-up without valves Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame, fig.1) and press start-up button P (fig.1). Automatic start-up with valves Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the maximum position (large flame, fig.1) and press the knob. Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob pressed for about 6 seconds. Using the burners In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig.2). Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum ones, never between the minimum position and the closing point. The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob clockwise up to the closing position. If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners with matches, setting the knob to the start- up point (large flame, fig. 1). Notice - When the equipment is not working, always check that the knobs are in the closing position (see fig.1). - If the flame should blow out accidentally, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas supply, after a few seconds. To restore operation, set the knob to the lighting point (large flame, fig.1). - While cooking with fat or oil, pay the utmost attention as these substances can catch fire when overheated. - Do not use sprays near the appliance in operation. - Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burner, so as to prevent them from overturning or overflowing. - Make sure that pot handles are placed properly. - When the burner is started up, check that the flame is regular and, before taking pots away, always lower the flame or put it out.
