)To light a burner:
z turn the relevant knob
maximum position (
), then push it down to ignite the burner.
z After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. - lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.
z To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
A - Burner cap |
B - Burner crown |
C - Ignition electrode |
D - Thermocouple |
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. - lett. A) and the"crown" (Fig. - lett. B) are in the correct position.
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 one minute before trying to light the burner again.
If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to 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.
