USING THE HOB
5.1
Ignition of the burners
Before turning on the burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns
and respective caps are properly fitted in their housings. Ensure the
flame-spreader holes
A
are aligned with the ignition plugs and the
thermocouples.
Panstand grid
B
, available upon request, is intended for use with woks
(Chinese pans).
To prevent damage to the worktop, the hob is equipped with a raised grid
C
: installs over pans larger than the diameter shown in the table in
paragraph " 5.3 Diameter of receptacles". Note that pans larger than 28
cm diameter must be used only on the central burner.
A symbol next to each knob indicates the relative
burner. The device is fitted with electronic ignition.
Simply press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to
the high flame symbol
until the burner is ignited.
In models with safety valve, after ignition, the knob has to be held down
for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner
might go off when the knob is released: this means the thermocouple
has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and then repeat the operation, holding the knob
down for longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without
thermocouples.
Once the burner is ignited, adjust the flame as required.
Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when you
finish using the hob.
If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20
seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).
