lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired posi-
tion.
N.B. In the case of a mains failure light
the burner with a match or lighted taper.

difficult to light the burner with the knob
set to maximum, set the knob to mini-
mum and repeat the operation.
Caution!

hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

It is important that the base diameter of
the pots or pans match the diameter of
the burner rings in order to obtain an
efficient heat transfer, Always position
pans centrally over the burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position the pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.
Only used flat bottomed pans.
