5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your KAFF Gas Cooktop.
Lighting a Burner with Auto Ignition:
- Place your cookware centrally on the pan support over the desired burner.
- Push down the corresponding control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the 'High' flame position. You will hear a clicking sound as the auto-ignition sparks.
- Once the flame ignites, hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and register the flame.
- Release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Adjusting the Flame:
- After ignition, you can adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob between the 'High' and 'Low' flame settings.
- For simmering, turn the knob towards the 'Low' setting. For rapid boiling or high-heat cooking, use the 'High' setting.
- To turn off the burner, rotate the knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position.
