If the Burner Does Not Light
If the burner does not light, check that:
• The cooker is switched on.
• The gas is turned on.
• You have held the control in for at least ten seconds.
• 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.
If the Flame is Irregular
If the flame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are:
• Clean and dry.
• Positioned correctly. Allow to cool, then refer to the “Replacing the Burners” section.
General Guidelines
To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer to cook.

• Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the edges of your hob as this can deflect heat onto your
worktop and damage the surface.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or deflect
the flame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the high position. Once the food is
boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady flow of heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will
reduce the cooking time.
