Ignition of the burner

Always light the burner before you put on the cookware.
WARNING! Be very careful when you use an open fire in the kitchen environment. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of flame misuse.

1. Push the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum gas supply position ( ).
2. Keep the control knob pushed for equal to or less than 10 seconds. This lets the thermocouple warm up. If not, the gas supply is interrupted.
3. Adjust the flame after it is regular.

If after some tries the burner does not light, check if the crown and its cap are in correct positions.
WARNING! Do not keep the control knob pushed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it into off position and try to light the burner again after minimum 1 minute.
CAUTION! In the absence of electricity you can ignite the burner without electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, turn the control knob counter-clockwise to maximum gas supply position and push it down. Keep the control knob pushed for equal or less than 10 seconds to let the thermocouple warm up.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

Cookware

• CAUTION! Do not use cast iron pans, clay or earthenware pots, grilling accessories or toaster plates. The stainless steel can become tarnished if it is too much heated.
