Burner use
For better use of the burners and more efficient gas consumption, use pans whose
diameter is proportional in size to that of burners. Ensure that flames do not extend

Automatic safety valve
This safety device automatically shuts off the gas supply in the event one of the burners
goes out accidentally as a result of a sudden draught, a pot spilling over, or an interruption
in the gas delivery. This device intervenes approximately 30 seconds after the burner
