USING THE HOB
6.1
Lighting the 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 plugs and
thermocouples.
The rack
B
is for use with woks.
The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the
knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical
ignition device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum 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: in this case, the thermocouple has not
heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob
pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not
equipped with a 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.
