7.1
Lighting burners with safety device
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (the example here shows the front
left-hand burner).
The appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and turn it
anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until the burner lights. Keep the knob
pressed down for about 2 seconds to keep the flame alight and prime the safety
device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. In this case, repeat the
operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer.
If the burners should go out accidentally the safety device will be tripped about 20
seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open.
7.2
Positioning the griddle plate
A special griddle plate for use with the hob is available from authorised dealers. This
plate must be placed on the pan stands properly CENTRED; it must never be fitted
instead of a pan stand.
Ensure that the griddle plate is properly centred on the pan stand; if it is not correctly
positioned, the knobs may overheat while it is in use.
7.3
Practical hints for using the burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use flat, even -
bottomed pans with lids of suitable size for the burner (see point "7.4 Pan
Diameters").
When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle
plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob and must be at least
3-4
cm
from the knobs.
