Operation
Hob burner control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean:
= no gas supply
= maximum gas supply
= minimum gas supply
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.
Lighting the burners
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum
position ( | ) and push down the knob |
to ignite.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” are in the correct position.
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
Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again. If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to
the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.
To switch off burners
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ().
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
