Igniting the Burners

To ignite the burners, follow these instructions:

1.Lightly press the control knob (shown on the right) and turn the knob anti- clockwise to the maximum position. Press and hold the control down to begin the ignition process (a clicking sound will be heard).

2.Once the burner is lit, adjust the burner power to the required position. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise past the maximum setting to the off position.

Some models are fitted with a flame-failure device (designated by ‘F’ in model number). If your hob is fitted with such a device, hold down the control knob for a few seconds after ignition to allow the safety device to detect that the burner is lit. Flame-failure devices operate by shutting off the supply of gas to the burner in the event that the flame is extinguished accidentally.

Please note:

•The ignition device should not be operated for more than 15 seconds.

•If a burner does not ignite, or turns off accidentally, turn the control knob to the ‘off’ position, and wait for one minute before attempting to reignite the burner.

•If the burner does not ignite, repeat the ignition process with the burner at the minimum position.

Efficient use of your Hob

The hob is equipped with burners of different sizes, designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate burner depending on the size of the pan. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and burner are correctly chosen.

Ensure that the pans do not overlap the edge of the pan stand, or cover the control panel.

The table below shows the sizes of pan that should be used with each burner:
