6.USING THE HOB

6.1Gas hob

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 optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in point "6.3 Pan diameters". All pans more than 30 cm in diameter must only be used on the central burner.

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 anti- clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again.

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: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. 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. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
