Safety system
Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the
burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device
is active, switch on the burner as usual and, 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 slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is 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.
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.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used.
You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: either keep the natural ventilation apertures
open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,
you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a
