Using The Hob
Lighting the burners
For each BURNER knob there is a complete ring
showing the strength of the flame for the relevant
burner.
To light one of the burners on the hob:
1. Bring a flame or gas lighter close to the burner.
2. Press the BURNER knob and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction so that it is pointing to the
maximum flame setting
E
.
3. Adjust the intensity of the flame to the desired
level by turning the BURNER knob in an
anticlockwise direction. This may be the minimum
setting
C
, the maximum setting
E
or any position in
between the two.
If the appliance is fitted with an electronic lighting
device* (
see figure), press the ignition button,
marked with the symbol

, then hold the BURNER
knob down and turn it in an anticlockwise direction,
towards the maximum flame setting, until the burner
is lit. The burner may be extinguished when the
knob is released. If this occurs, repeat the operation,
holding the knob down for a longer period of time.
!
If the flame is accidentally extinguished, switch off
the burner and wait for at least 1 minute before
attempting to relight it.
If the appliance is equipped with a flame failure
safety device*, press and hold the BURNER knob
for approximately 2-7 seconds to keep the flame
alight and to activate the device.
Check that the gas has been lit. If the burner fails to
ignite try again. If the burner fails to ignite after 3
attempts, wait a few minutes for the gas to disperse
before making any further attempts.
.
Start-up and use
If the burner still fails to ignite, a match or lighting
device can be used, but care must be taken. If the
problem persists, contact place of purchase or their
appointed agent for service.
If the flame has excessive yellowing, or appears to
lift off the burner ports, or makes a loud noise, turn
the burner off and call your service agent.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob until it
reaches the stop position •
Lighting the burners for the first time
If the appliance is being used for the first time, or if
it has not been used for a long period of time, it may
be necessary to purge the gas lines of excess air
before you can successfully light the burners.
To do this, turn each burner to High for 10-15
seconds and press the ignition button several times.
If the burner does not light, repeat this procedure
twice more. Wait 1-2 minutes for any gas build up to
disperse before allowing any further gas flow.
Practical advice on using the burners
For the burners to work in the most efficient way
possible and to save on the amount of gas
consumed, it is recommended that only pans that
have a lid and a flat base are used. They should
also be suited to the size of the burner.
To identify the type of burner, please refer to the
diagrams contained in the “Technical
specifications”.
Do not use pans which are unstable or which have a
warped or damaged base.
Ensure the pot sits securely on the trivet and is
centred above the burner.
