Electricity Failure
If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your hob. Light the burners by holding an ignition source (e.g.
candle lighter) close to the side of the burner and turning the control to the High position to light the gas. The
controls must still be held down for 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the controls too soon will
extinguish the flame. Adjust the controls as required.
Flame Failure Safety Feature
The flame supervision device (FSD) probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner within one minute if the flame is
extinguished. Gas will flow out of the burner until the FSD cools down and activates, so you may notice the smell
of gas, this is normal.
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one
minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
When lighting the burner, hold down the control for approximately 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit.
Releasing the control too soon will extinguish the flame.
If the Burner Does Not Light
If the burner does not light, check that:
• The hob is connected to the electrical supply and the supply is switched on.
• The gas is turned on.
• You have held down the control for at least 5 – 10 seconds after the flame has been lit.
• The ignitors are sparking. If the ignitors are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them gently with a
small nylon brush such as a toothbrush as shown below. Ensure the electrical supply has been disconnected
before cleaning.
If the Flame is Irregular
If the flame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap (allow to cool before
touching), are:
• Clean and dry.
• Positioned correctly. See ‘Replacing the Burners’.
• Also see ‘Hints and Tips’.
