Gas burners
There are indications to show which burner each
control knob operates.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan
supports are correctly installed for the appliance to
work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around.
Switching on manually
1.
Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting.
2.
Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,
matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.
Switching on automatically
If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1.
Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks
are produced on all burners. The flame ignites. Wait
a few seconds.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press
and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10
seconds).

Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off
the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at
least one minute before trying to switch the burner back
on.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Switch on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
Power levels
The progressive control knobs can be used to control
the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
