Special measures before using for the first time
Before connecting the hob to the electric mains, check that the voltage and fre- quency of the’ mains matches that shown on the hob s rating plate, which is located lower down, and on the guarantee or, where appropriate, the technical datashe- et supplied, which should be kept together with this manual.
Remember that you may have to remove the protective plastic cover that is stuck to
the hob.Igniting the burners
*Make sure that the knobs are in their correct position.
*Turn on the gas at the mains or turn the gas cylinder tap.
*Put a flame or spark to the burner if you do not have automatic ignition.
Press the control knob and at the same time turn it
With hob models that have automatic igni- tion and the safety feature, proceed as follows:
1. Press down the burner control.
2. Keeping the burner control pressed down, turn it all the way till the gas igni- tes, and keep it pressed down for at least 2 seconds so that the safety ther- mocouple can take effect.

In order for the automatic ignition system to work properly, it is vital that the ignition (the ceramic and the electrode) is cleaned regularly and carefully - this will avoid igni- tion problems. Check, too, that the groo- ves in the burners have not become obs- tructed.
On the control panel, areas are marked (A) that show the control for each burner.
If a gas smell is detected, the gas intake to the hob should be shut off and the room ventilated. The gas installation and the hob should also be checked by a specialised technician.
