3.3 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob
is shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol,
until the burner ignites. If the burner does not
light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob
to
and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed
in for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up. The burner may
go out when the knob is released: In this
case, the thermocouple has not heated up
sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat
the operation. Keep the knob pressed in
longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their housings with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that
the holes in the burners are aligned with the
igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that
the flame-spreader crowns are correctly
engaged in the burner holes.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to
and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.
