Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table below).
Burner | minimum | maximum |
| diameter | diameter |
Triple crown | 180 mm | 260 mm |
Large (rapid) | 160 mm | 260 mm |
Medium |
|
|
rear | 120 mm | 220 mm |
front | 120 mm | 180 mm |
Small (auxiliary) | 80 mm | 180 mm |

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
