Operation

Hob burners

ΦTo light a burner:

λPush in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.

λUpon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter C) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

λThen adjust the flame as required.

λIf 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.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so

 

that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

 

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the

 

recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the

 

bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.

 

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the

 

overheated splashes could easily ignite.

 

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

 

contact your local Service Force Centre.
