7.2 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.
When the burner has lit, its control knob will light up to confirm that it is in operation.
The knob will go out a few seconds after it is turned to the O position, or if the burner
goes out accidentally. The knob light comes on and goes out gradually.
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.
7.3 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 "7.3
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
5-7 cm from the knobs.
