6. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners

Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the correct position and that their burner caps are in place, making sure that the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark plugs and thermocouples.

Grid B should be used with Chinese woks.

Each knob corresponds to the burner indicated. The appliance is equipped with an electric lighting device. To light the burners, press and turn the knob

anticlockwise to the large flame symbol . Keep the knob pressed for about 2 seconds to let the thermocouple heat up.

If the burner turns off when the knob is released, it means that the thermocouple isn’t hot enough. Repeat ignition and keep the knob pressed longer.

Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required.

Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when you finish using the hob.

If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).
