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 anti-clockwise
until it reaches the “maximum” position.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
