Main switch/Hob lock
The hob may have a main switch to cut off the main gas
supply and switch off all the burners at the same time.
This switch is very practical if there are children in the
house, or, if for any reason, all the burners must be
switched off quickly.
To lock the hob:
1. Press the main switch.
This switches off all the burners which are on. The hob is
locked.
To unlock the hob:
1. Turn all the control knobs to the "off" position.
2. Press the main switch and turn it fully clockwise. The
mains gas supply is turned on.
You can now use your hob normally.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used.
Inner flame on minimum power.
