You can find out how to correctly position the burner
parts here.
Requirement:
Ensure that the burner parts are clean

Follow these instructions when using your gas hob.
¡
A slight whistling when operating the burner is nor-

¡
Odour formation during the first uses is normal. This
does not indicate a risk or malfunction. It will stop
after a while.
¡
An orange flame is normal. This is caused by dust
in the air, overflowing liquids, etc.
¡
If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, switch off
the burner's selector and wait at least 1 minute be-
fore igniting the burner again.
¡
A few seconds after switching off the hob, you may
hear noises, such as a slight clicking, from the
burner. This is not unusual, but shows that the pilot
is deactivated.
¡
Keep the ignition plugs clean. If the ignition plugs
are dirty, the igniter is damaged. Clean the ignition
plugs regularly with a small, metal-free brush. En-
sure that the ignition plugs are not exposed to any
heavy knocks.
