My burner goes out
when I let go of the
control
• The hob has a safety feature called ‘Flame Supervision Device (FSD)’. Hold down the
control for approximately 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control
too soon will extinguish the flame. See the ‘Flame Failure Safety Feature’ section.

bottled gas or LPG)

There is an
electricity failure
• If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your hob. Light the burners by holding
a candle lighter close to the side of the burner and turning the control to the High
position. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting. The control must still
be held down for 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control too
soon will extinguish the flame.
There is no power
to the oven
