OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
Using Gas Burners 
The flame cut-off safety device (FFD); operates instantly when the safety mechanism 
activates due to overflown liquid over the upper hobs. 
1.  The valves controlling the gas cookers have a special security mechanism. To light the cooker, hold down 
the switch and turn it counterclockwise. All of the lighters will operate and the cooker you are controlling will 
light. Keep the switch pressed until the cooker ignites. 
2.  Do not continuously operate the igniter for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite, wait a 
minimum of one minute before trying again. 
3.  In models with the gas security system, when the flame of the cooker is extinguished, a control valve cuts off 
the gas automatically. To operate the burners with the gas security system you must press the knob and turn 
counter-clock-wise. After the ignition you must wait approximately 5-10 seconds for the gas security system 
to activate. If the burner is extinguished for any reason, close the gas control valve and wait a minimum of 
one minute before trying again.

the burner caps are shown below.
