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
counterclockwise 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 seats with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes
1 in the flame-spreader crowns are
aligned with the igniters 3 and
thermocouples 2 .
Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan.
Once the contents come to the boil, turn
down the flame far enough to ensure that
the liquid does not boil over.
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.
