For safety reasons, we recom- mend that you follow the instructions provided by the gas company when clo- sing the supply tap when the hob is not in use.
If the smell of gas is detected, the hob's gas intake tap should be shut off and the room should be ventilated. In addition, the gas installation and the hob should be checked by a speciali- sed technician.
The automatic lighting device should not be used for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light during this time, stop attempting to light it and open the door of the room and/or wait for at least one minute befo- re trying to light the burner again.
If the flame of the burner goes out accidentally, close the correspon- ding control knob of the burner and do not try and light the burner again for at least one minute.
The appliance is not designed to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, mental or sen- sory abilities. It should also not be used by people that do not have experience handling the appliance or who do not have knowledge of the appliance, unless they are supervised by a person who is in charge of their safety.
Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance.
Mechanism to protect
against inadvertently turning
the gas control knobs
The gas taps are equipped with a mechanical systems that prevents the con-
GB
trol knobs from turning freely from the off position to the on position (and, therefore, prevents gas from accidentally escaping from the burners) if the control knob has not previously been pressed down.
If at any time while using the hob you notice that a control knob can be turned from the off position without it needing to be pressed down before- hand (for example: because of dirt which may have got into and accumula- ted in the gas taps) you should, for your own safety, quickly notify the technical service so that the problem can be rec- tified.

The thermocouple sends an electric signal to the control card, which identifies whether or not the burner has a flame. Once the control card has processed the data, it sends another electric signal to the tap so that it opens and allows gas to enter. If the burner turns off, the absence of a flame will be detected by the thermocouple, which, since it is not sending a signal to the control card, will
