Gas burners
Switching on manually
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2.
Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or
a match) against the burner.
Automatic ignition
If the hob has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power level.
While the control knob is held down, all the burners
will generate sparks. The flame ignites. Wait a few
seconds.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down for longer (up to 10 seconds).
:
Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the flame does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the burner and open a window or the door to the room.
Wait at least one minute before switching the burner on
again.
Note:
It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition
problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a
small, non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the
ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Switch on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
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.
Main switch/Hob lock (Main Switch)
The hob may have a main switch to cut off the mains
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:
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 soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When 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.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
