Operation
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that : there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
push in the relevant control knob and turn it anticlockwise to maximum position
(
), to ignite the burner.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).
