Switching on
automatically
If your cooktop can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).
2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner
on.
Safety system
Depending on the model, your cooktop may have a
safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of
gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that
this device is active, switch on the burner as usual and,
without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame. Fig. 15.
Switching off a burner
