Using the Hob Burners
1. Choose the control for the burner you want to use.
2. Press the ignition switch and at the same time press and hold the burner control in and then turn it
counter-clockwise to the maximum position. Release the Ignition switch only, once the burner is lit.
3. Continue to hold the control in for approximately 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control
too soon will extinguish the flame due to the flame Failure device working.
Manual Ignition
(in case of electricity failure)
To ignite one of the burners, press and turn the control counter-clockwise so that the control is at
its maximum position. Hold an ignition source (e.g. candle lighter, spark ignitor) close to the upper
circumference of the burner. Move the ignition source away as soon as you see a stable flame. Continue
holding the control in for approximately 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control too soon
will extinguish the flame due to the flame failure safety feature.
The control has 3 positions: OFF ( ), maximum and minimum . After you have ignited the burner
at the maximum position , you should adjust the flame length for cooking between the maximum and
minimum flame positions. You must not cook with the control between the maximum and
OFF ( ) positions.
4. After ignition, check the flames visually. If you see yellow tipped, lifted or unstable flames; turn the control off,
and once the parts have cooled sufficiently check the assembly of the burner rings and caps. Also, make sure
that no liquid has entered into the burner cups. If the burner flames go out accidentally, turn the burners off,
and do not try to light them again for at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
5. When turning the hob off, turn the control in a clockwise direction so that the control shows position in
line with the marking on the control panel.
Flame Failure Device
The flame Failure device (FFD) probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out.
When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold down the control for approximately 5 to 10 seconds after
the burner has lit. Releasing the control too soon will extinguish the flame.
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one
minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
• If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control off and wait
for at least one minute before trying again.
• After use, always turn the controls to the position.
