See the catalogue for details. The gas burners Figure. 1 Each control knob on the oven and on the control panel is clearly marked to show which burner it controls. Figure 1. To light one of the burners, press in the control knob of the respective burner and turn it to the left, as far as the ignition symbol, and hold it there for a couple of seconds until the burner lights. Now release the knob and turn it to the desired heating setting. If the burner does not light, repeat the process. If your cooking hob is not fitted with this automatic lighting feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner. If the ignition sparkers are dirty, this makes the burner harder to light, so you should keep them as clean as possible. Clean them using a small brush, and remember that the ignition sparkers must be treated very gently. If the burners on your cooking hob are fitted with safety valves (which stop the flow of gas if one of the burners accidentally goes out), light the burners in the same way, though you should continue to hold in the control knob for a few seconds after the flame lights. If the burner does not light, repeat the process, this time keeping the control knob pressed in for 10 seconds. To turn off the burner, turn the control knob to the right, to setting 0. Depending on which model of modern, functional cooking hob you have purchased, you can have progressive taps fitted which allow you to adjust the flame to the desired heat. Depending on the model, your cooking hob may have a triple-flame burner, which is very practical if you wish to cook with receptacles such as paella pans or Chinese woks (to create all kinds of Asian dishes). When you are using this gas appliance, it will make the kitchen hot and humid, and therefore you must ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor hood. If you use your appliance for a long period of time, you may need extra ventilation - either open a window (though watch out for draughts) or turn up the power on the extractor hood, if possible. )* . . .

Pan support for coffee pot: depending on the model, your cooking hob may include an additional coffee pot support, which is exclusively for use on the auxiliary burner with receptacles of a diameter smaller than 10 cm.
