Anti-accidental turn system

on gas controls

On models without the safety sys- tem (without the gas cut-off device), the gas taps are equipped with a mechanical system that prevents the controls from being freely turned from the off position to the on position (and, therefore, prevents any accidental escape of gas from the bur- ners) if the control has not previously been pressed down.

If at any time while using the hob you notice that a control can be turned from the off position without it needing to be pressed down beforehand (for example: due to dirt which may have got into the gas taps and built up there) you should, for your own safety, get quickly in touch with technical assis- tance in order to resolve this fault.

Safety system

components

On hobs with the safety feature (those models which have the letters AL), the gas cut-off device is made up of these ele- ments:

*The safety tap

*The safety thermocouple, next to the burner

*The thermocouple-tap connection

The thermocouple sends an electric signal to the tap which identifies whether the bur- ner has a flame. During ignition, the tap should be held down for at least 5 seconds, until the thermocouple has hea- ted up and can send a satisfactory electric signal to the tap. Should the burner go out, the absence of a flame is detected by the thermocouple, which makes the safety tap cut off the flow of gas.

Using the hotplates

*When using a roasting dish, clay pots or any utensil that reflects heat down- wards, it is essential that the grid acces- sory is used, for otherwise the high tem- perature that is reflected downwards could damage the glass or the burners.

*The grid accessory can be used when cooking with pans that have a small base or when a very low heat is requi- red, for slow cooking or to keep food warm. When it is used, the burner is less efficient.
