Switching on manually
1.
Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting.
2.
Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches,
etc.) and bring it close to the burner.
Switching on automatically
If your hob 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.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
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).
:
Risk of deflagration!
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 back on.
Safety system
Depending on the model, your hob 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:
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.
Power levels
The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
Main switch/Hob lock (Main Switch)
The hob may have a main switch to cut off the mains gas
supply and switch off all the burners at the same time. This
switch is very practical if there are children in the house or, if for
any reason, all the burners must be switched off quickly.
To lock the hob:
Press the main switch.
This switches off all the burners which are on. The hob is
locked.
To unlock the hob:
1.
Turn all the control knobs to the "off" position.
2.
Press the main switch and turn it fully clockwise.
The mains gas supply is turned on. You can now use your hob
normally.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When it is 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.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: Either keep the natural ventilation apertures
open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
Intense and prolonged use of the appliance may mean
additional ventilation is required (for example, opening a
window) or more effective ventilation (for example, increasing
the hob's ventilation, if possible).
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 one minute.
