lighter near the burner, press the knob all the way in and 

turn it anti-clockwise to the “High” setting.

The knob must be pressed in for about 2-3 seconds until

Some models are equipped with an ignition button 

incorporated into the control knob. If this is the case, 

the ignitor is present. To light a burner, simply press the 

corresponding knob all the way in and then turn it anti-

clockwise to the “High” setting, keeping it pressed in until 

the burner lights.

knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise 

direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

•  Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) 

so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of 

the cookware.

•  Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

•  When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn 

the knob to minimum.
