USING THE COOKING HOB
6.1
Lighting of the cooking hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns
are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that
the holes
A
in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the igniters and
thermocouples.
The supplied rack
C
is for use with woks (Chinese pans).
The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The
appliance is equipped with an electric lighting device. To light the
burners, press and turn the knob anticlockwise to the large flame symbol
until the burner lights.
On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a
few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up.
The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the
thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Wait a few moments and
repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not
necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. Once the burner
is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required.
Always check that the control knobs are in the (off) position when
you finish using the hob
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety
device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is
open.
