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 the hob has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power level.
While the control knob is held down, all the burners
will generate sparks. The flame ignites. Wait a few
seconds.
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 flame does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the burner and open a window or the door to the room.
Wait at least one minute before switching the burner on
again.
Note:
It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition
problems. 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.
Additional wok grid
Only suitable for use on wok
burners. Use cookware with a
rounded base.
To extend the service life of the
appliance, we recommend using
the additional wok grid.
Additional espresso maker
grid
Only suitable for use on the
smallest burner. Use cookware
with a diameter of less than
12 cm.
Simmer plate
This accessory part is only suita-
ble for simmering. It can be
used with the economy burner
or the standard-output burner. If
your hob has several standard-
output burners, we recommend
placing the simmer plate on the
rear or front-right standard-out-
put burner.
Place the accessory component
with the projections facing
upwards on the holder; never
place it directly on the burner.
Simmer cap
Only use the burner for cooking
with minimal power. Remove
the economy burner and
replace it with the simmer cap.
Always place cookware on the
pan support, never directly on
the simmer cap.

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.

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat one
single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole
dishes, etc. for a long
period of time on
maximum power.
