Gas burners
Switching on manually
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2.
Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or
a match) against the burner.
Automatic ignition
If your appliance has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
Sparks are produced on all burners while you are
pressing and holding the control knob. The burner
ignites.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down for longer (up to 10 seconds).
:
Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not switch on after 15 seconds,
switch off the control knob and open the door or
window in the room. Wait at least a minute before
igniting the burner again.
Note:
It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition faults.
Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small non-
metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plugs
from suffering any heavy knocks.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Switch on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.
