The burner controlled by each knob is shown next to the knob. The appliance is equipped with an electrical ignition device. Simply press the knob and
turn it counterclockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light in
the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again.
On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. Once the burner is lit, the flame can be adjusted as required. Always check that the control knobs are in the 
(off) position when you finish using the hob.
If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.
