This section guides you through the basic operation of your Faber Della Hob.

6.1 Using the Burners

1. Ignition: Push down the desired burner knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the 'Ignition' position (usually marked with a flame symbol). The auto-ignition system will spark, igniting the gas.

3. Turning Off: To turn off a burner, turn the knob clockwise until it clicks back into the 'Off' position.
