LIGHTING THE HOB
The burner safety measure is a metal rod
located directly to the side of the flame.
Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted with a
safety system that, in the event of accidental
flame extinction (spills, draughts, etc.), quick-
ly and automatically cuts the gas supply and
prevents it from escaping.
Each burner is supplied by a tap which can be
opened by pressing it and turning it in a coun-
terclockwise direction.
The point “
●
” corresponds to a closed tap.
Choose the desired burner by using the sym-
bols located near the knobs (e.g.: right rear
burner ).
To light the burner:
—
Press on the knob and turn it in a counter-
clockwise direction
to the maximum set-
ting .
Continue pressing on the knob to produce a
series of sparks until the burner lights.
The setting for more moderate flame intensi-
ties is between the
symbol and the
symbol.

Tip
—
If the flame goes out accidentally,
reignite normally following the lighting
instructions.
—
The burner’s flames are smaller near the
support to protect the support’s enamel.
—
The noise made by certain burners is
related to their high power and to gas
combustion; it does not alter cooking
quality.
—
In the event of a power cut, place a
lighted match near an open burner.
Warning
— Hold the knob fully pressed down
for a few seconds after the flame appears
in order to trigger the safety system.
