Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the
corresponding control knob:
0
Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at
the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise
to the maximum setting.Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the
knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic
device keeping the flame alight to heat up.
When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing
down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.
! Some models have a Double Flame burner. In this case, to activate it, simply
start by turning the knob so that it is aligned with the symbol
it all the way in and hold it in this position for approximately 6 seconds, until
the automatic device keeping the flame alight has heated up.
! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control 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).
The "separate double flame" burner*
This burner consists of two concentric burners which can operate either
together or separately.
Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives a very high power
which reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners.
Moreover the double flame crown provides a more uniform distribution of heat
on the bottom of the pan, when using both burners on minimum.
To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to its full potential,
never set the inside ring to minimum and the outside ring to maximum
at the same time.
Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of the smaller pots and
pans we recommend the use of only the internal burner.
There is a separate control knob for each of the "separate double flame"
burners.

The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when
the knob is pressed in.
Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner
keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which

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.
