Operation
26
Risk of fire with overheated food.
Unattended food can overheat and
catch alight.
Do not leave the hob unattended
whilst it is being used.
Switching on
Press in the relevant rotary control
and turn it anticlockwise to the large
flame symbol. The ignition electrode
will “click” and ignite the gas.
When the rotary control is operated, a
spark is automatically produced on all
burners. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
When a flame is visible, keep the
rotary control pressed down for 5–
10 seconds, and then let it go.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
rotary control to the
position. Ventil-
ate the room or wait for at least
1 minute before trying again. When
making another ignition attempt, it
may be necessary to hold the rotary
control for longer.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the rotary control
back to the
position and see “Prob-
lem solving guide”.
Switching on during a power outage
If there is an interruption to the electri-
city supply, the gas can be ignited
manually, e.g. with a match.
Press in the relevant control and turn
it anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol.
Hold the control pressed in and light
the gas at the burner with a match.
Keep the control pressed in for a fur-
ther 5-10 seconds and then release it.
