Using your gas cooktop
Before using your cooktop
Before using your new cooktop, please:
Read this user guide, taking special note of the safety and warnings section. Turn the cooker on.
Make sure all controls are turned off.
Lighting the cooktop
1Choose the control knob for the burner you want to use.
2Press the knob down gently and turn it anticlockwise to the 
position. The ignitors on all the burners will spark.
Hold down the knob for approximately ten seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame.
3Adjust the flame anywhere between the 
and 
positions. Do not adjust the flame between
and OFF.
Note: If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control knob off and wait at least one minute before trying again.
To switch the burner off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.
After use, always turn the knobs to the off position.
Flame failure safety feature
The flame failure probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out.
When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold down the knob for approximately ten seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame.
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
