During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the cooking hob unattended while it is on. 6. 1 Switching on the burners All the hob burner knobs have the following symbols: tap closed high flame low flame The low flame setting is found by turning the knob anticlockwise all the way. All intermediate settings must be selected between the high flame and low flame, never between high flame and closed. 6. 1. 1 One-touch lighting The hob burners are equipped with a "one-touch" lighting system. To switch on one of the burners, press the knob corresponding to the required burner and turn it anticlockwise to the low setting . Hold down the knob to activate the automatic "one-touch" lighting system. When the burner is on, hold down the knob for approximately 10 seconds, to allow the safety valve to open.

Should the burner switch off accidentally, the safety thermocouple blocks the gas flow, even when the tap is open. Appliances not equipped with safety valve: it is not necessary to hold down the knob (the burner is immediately operative).
