6. USING THE HOB
6.1Lighting the hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. The special pan stand B is for use with woks.
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob. The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition device. Simply press the knob and
turn it 
, until the burner lights.
On models equipped with valves, once the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer. This is not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple.
Once the burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required.
After each use of the hob, always check that the control knobs are turned to 
(off).
If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open.
