Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the control knob and open the door or window in the
room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner
again.
Switching on manually
During a power cut you can ignite the burners manually.
1
Place a suitable pot or pan on the pot grid.
2
Press the corresponding control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting. Keep the
control knob pressed.
3
Use a gas lighter or a match to ignite the burner.
Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds
after ignition.
Note:
The indicator on the illuminated ring remains off.
Thermoelectric flame monitoring
For your safety, the hob is fitted with thermoelectric
flame monitoring. This prevents the flow of gas if the
burner accidentally goes out while it is in use (e.g. due
to draughts).
If the burner accidentally goes out while it is in use, turn
the control knob to the 0 position and wait at least one
minute before you ignite the burner again.
Switching off
Turn the control knob clockwise to position 0.

Residual heat indicator
After switching off the appliance, the illuminated ring on
