5. Adjust the flame intensity by turning the knob between the maximum and minimum flame settings (small flame symbol).
6. To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise until it clicks into the 'off' position.

Note: The ORKLI thermocouple is a safety device that automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame accidentally extinguishes.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gas hob.

6.1. Daily Cleaning

• Allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the tempered glass surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent or glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
• Remove any spills immediately to prevent them from drying and becoming harder to clean.

6.2. Burner Components and Grates

• The cast iron grates, burner caps, and flame spreaders can be removed for cleaning.
• Wash these components in warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive scrub brush can be used.

• Periodically check the burner holes for any blockages and clean them gently with a fine wire or needle if necessary.
