Problem
The burner goes out when I release the dial 3 seconds after the flame lighting.
Possible causes and solutions
Try lighting the burner again, this time holding the dial down longer.
The flame has been blown out by a draught or extinguished by a spill.
The flame failure protection will automatically cut the gas supply to the burner off, stopping unburnt gas from escaping. Turn the affected burner off, then wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight. This is to allow for any small amount of gas that may have escaped to disperse.

The flame pattern is uneven around the burner.
Burner parts (especially the flame ports) may be clogged or wet. Check that they are clean and dry. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions and illustrations on clearing clogged flame ports. After cleaning, check that there is flame coming out of each port.
