2.3 Operating principle

Fig. 4

The appliance features one-hand operation. That is to say, the ignition is activated when the control knob is pressed briefly.

After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for around 5-8 seconds more because the heat sensor that opens the gas channel has to warm up first.

The gas hob has 1 normal burner (front burner) and 1 high-intensity burner (rear burner).

All burners have a thermal protection device that prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open position.

The total rated thermal load amounts to:

16000 BTU (4.7 kW) referred to Hs* (gross calorific value)

14300 BTU (4.2 kW) referred to Hi (calorific value) The specified rated load is defined by installation of the fixed nozzles.

The gas hob is converted to a different gas type by nozzle replacement (full and low-burning nozzles) (see nozzle table on p. 12).

The symbols on the control panel mean:

0Off

High setting

Low setting

The flame is infinitely variable between high and low-setting.
