To light a burner:
z
push the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked
by a little spark.
z
at the same time turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and keep it pushed
down about 5 seconds.
This will allow the "thermocouple" (see diagram -
letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
z
then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram - letter A and
B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
z
.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
) )
) )
)
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
