The symbols on the gas control knob mean the following:

To Light The Cooktop Burners
To light the burner, press the control knob fully down and continue to hold the knob
down before rotating the knob anti-clockwise to the high flame position. The ignition of
the burner is integrated into the control knob and is automatically activated by pushing
down on the control knob.
After lighting the flame, continue to hold the knob down for 3 seconds. This time is
necessary to heat up the flame failure thermocouple (Fig 1 – D) and activate the safety
valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.
In the instance of a power failure it is still possible to operate your appliance. Place a lit
match next to the burner and follow the steps as above for normal lighting. If the flame
fails to ignite wait for 5 minutes to allow the gas to dissapate, before attempting to re-
ignite the burner.
