If the Flame is Irregular
•
If the flame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are:
•
Clean and dry.
•
Positioned correctly. See ‘Replacing the Burners’.
•
Also see ‘Hints and Tips’.
Flame Failure Safety Feature
The flame supervision device (FSD) probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out.
When lighting the burner, hold down the control for approximately 5 – 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
If the burner does not light, check that:
•
The hob is switched on.
•
The gas is turned on.
•
You have held down the control for at least 5 – 10 seconds.
•
The ignitors are sparking. If the ignitors are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them gently with a
small nylon brush such as a toothbrush as shown below.

Electricity Failure
If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your hob. Light the burners by holding an ignition source (e.g.
candle lighter) close to the side of the burner and turning the control to the High position to light the gas. The
controls must still be held down for 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the controls too soon will
extinguish the flame. Adjust the controls as required.
