For your safety all Amica gas hob models are fitted with safety thermocouples.
The purpose of a thermocouple is to switch off the gas supply to the burner where no flame
is detected.
Normal use of such system is very easy, simply hold the burner’s control knob depressed for
approx. 10 seconds in Burner ON large flame position.
This period of holding the control knob allows the thermocouople to heat up and ”sense”
that there is a flame present. Should you release the control knob to early the flame will
extinquish.
When using on a low setting ensure that no wind or drafts can blow out the flame
Repeat the attempt if the protection has not activated for the first time.
Leak protection will cut off the gas supply if there is no flame for approx. 60
seconds. Ensure that no drafts or wind can blow out the flame when on a low
setting.
