The burner controlled by each knob is shown above the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it
counter-clockwise to the maximum flame symbol until it lights. If it does not light in
the first 15 seconds, switch the knob to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds
before trying to light it again.
Once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the
thermocouple time to heat up. If the burner goes out when the knob is released, it
may be that the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments
and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for a longer time.
If the burners go out accidentally, a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas
tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light
the burner again.
7.2 Practical hints for using the hob burners
For better burner efficiency and to minimize gas consumption, use pans with lids and of suitable size for the
burner so that the flames do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once the contents come to boil, turn down
the flame to prevent the liquid from boiling over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking,
all pans or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat
bottoms. Take the greatest care when using fats or oils as they may catch fire if overheated. If the flame
accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the
burner.
