To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at

down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise
towards the maximum setting.

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).

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
