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:
# 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 can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it
