Operation
Hob burner control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean:
= no gas supply
= maximum gas supply
= minimum gas supply
For easier lighting, proceed before
putting a pan on the pan support
.
Lighting the burners
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob
anticlockwise to maximum position (
) and
push down the knob to ignite.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob
pushed down for about
5 seconds
. This will
allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. letter D) to be
heated and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
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”
are in the correct position.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can
occur without the electrical device; in this case
approach the burner with a flame, push the re-
levant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until
it reaches the "maximum" position.
To switch off burners
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the
symbol ( ).
Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
When switching on the mains, after instal-
lation or a power cut, it is quite normal for
the spark generator to be activated auto-
matically.
