Only pans with a minimum diameter of 140
mm. should be used. If you wish to use a
smaller pan, always use the auxiliary bur-
ner.
Please note:
When the burners are in operation
or have recently been in operation, the
hob will be hot in places and this can
lead to burns. Children should be kept
well away.
For safety reasons, we advise that
the instructions provided by the gas
supply company are followed and that
the supply tap is turned off when the
hob is not in use.
The glass covers can shatter when
they heat up. Turn off the burners before
closing the cover.
On models without the safety
system (without the gas cut-off device),
the gas taps are equipped with a mechani-
cal system that prevents the controls from
being freely turned from the off position to
the on position (and, therefore, prevents
any accidental escape of gas from the bur-
ners)
if the control has not previously
been pressed down.
If at any time while using the hob
you notice that a control can be turned
from the off position without it needing
to be pressed down beforehand (for
example: because of dirt which may
have got into and accumulated in the
gas taps) you should, for your own
safety, quickly notify the technical servi-
ce so that the problem can be rectified.
On hobs with the safety feature (those
models which have the letters AL), the gas
cut-off device is made up of these ele-
ments below:
* The safety tap
* The safety thermocouple, next to the
burner
* The thermocouple-tap connection
The thermocouple sends an electric signal
to the tap which identifies whether the bur-
ner has a flame. During ignition, the tap
should be held down for around two
seconds, until the thermocouple has hea-
ted up and can send a satisfactory electric
signal to the tap. Should the burner go out,
the absence of a flame is detected by the
thermocouple, which makes the safety tap
cut off the flow of gas.
