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 the electric ignition push button which is marked
by a little spark.
At the same time, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise
to maximum position ( ).
Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (fig. 1 -
letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
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 is possible without the electrical device; in this
case, use either a match or hand held spark generator specifically designed for this
purpose, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
“maximum” position.
