3.3 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob is
shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until
the burner ignites. If the burner does not light
in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to
and wait 60 seconds before trying again.
After lighting, keep the knob pressed in for a
few seconds to allow the thermocouple 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. Keep the knob pressed in longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their housings with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that
the holes

of the flame-spreader crowns
are aligned with the thermocouples

and
igniters

Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that flames
do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once
the contents come to the boil, turn down the
flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to
and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.
