5USING THE HOB

5.1Ignition of the burners

Before turning on the burners, make sure that the flame-spreader crowns and respective caps are properly fitted in their housings. Ensure the flame-spreader holes A are aligned with the ignition plugs and the thermocouples.

Panstand grid B, available upon request, is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).

To prevent damage to the worktop, the hob is equipped with a raised grid C: installs over pans larger than the diameter shown in the table in paragraph " 5.3 Diameter of receptacles". Note that pans larger than 30 cm diameter must be used only on the central burner.

A symbol next to each knob indicates the relative burner. The device is fitted with electronic ignition. Simply press and turn the knob counter-clockwise to

the high flame symbol until the burner is ignited.

In models with safety valve, after ignition, the knob has to be held down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner might go off when the knob is released: this means the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently.

Wait a few moments and then repeat the operation, holding the knob down for longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without thermocouples.

Once the burner is ignited, adjust the flame as required.

Always check that the control knobs are in the position (off) when you finish g th hob.

If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open).
