USE OF PRODUCT
Use of gas burners
Ignition of the burners
The position symbol above each control knob indicates
the burner that the knob controls.
Manual Ignition of the Gas Burners
If your appliance is not equipped with an ignition aid, or
in case there is a failure in the electric network, follow
the procedures listed below.
For Hob Burners:
Push in the knob of the burner
you wish to ignite and keep it pressed while turning
it anti-clockwise until the knob is in the ‘maximum’
position. Continue pressing the knob and hold a
lit match, taper or other manual aid to the upper
circumference of the burner. Move the ignition source
away from the burner as soon as you see a stable
flame.
Electrical ignition by control knob
Push in the knob of the burner you wish to ignite and
keep it pressed while turning it anti-clockwise until the
knob is in the 90 degrees position.The microswitch under
the knob will create sparks through the spark plug for as
long as the control knob is pressed. Press the knob until
you see a stable flame on the burner.
Flame safety device
Hob burners
Hobs equipped with a flame failure device provide
security in case of an accidentally extinguished flame.
If such a case occurs, the device will block the burners
gas lines and will avoid any accumulation of unburned
gas. Wait 90 seconds before re-igniting an extinguished
gas burner.Hob Controls

The knob has 3 positions: off (0), maximum (big flame
symbol) and minimum (small flame symbol). Ignite
the burner with the knob in the ‘maximum’ position;
you can then adjust the flame length between the
‘maximum’ and ‘minimum’ positions. Do not operate
the burners when the knob is between the ‘maximum’
and ‘off’ positions.

After ignition, visually check the flames. If you see
a yellow tip, lifted or unstable flame, switch the gas
flow off, then check the assembly of burner caps and
crowns once they have cooled. Make sure there is
no liquid in the burner caps. If the burner flames go
out accidentally, switch the burners off, ventilate the
kitchen with fresh air and wait at least 90 seconds
before attempting re-ignition.

To switch the hob burners off, turn the hob burner
knob clockwise to the ‘0’ position or so that the marker
on the hob burner knob points upwards.
Your hob has burners of different diameters. You will
find that the most economical way of using gas is to
choose the correct size gas burner for your cooking
pan size and to bring the flame to the ‘minimum’
position once boiling point is reached. We recommend
that you always cover your cooking pan to avoid heat
loss.
To obtain maximum performance from the main
burners, we suggest you use pots with the following
flat bottom diameters. Using pots smaller than the
minimum dimensions shown below will cause energy
loss.
