Check that the gas flame is lit. Allow it to
burn a few minutes to ensure a full, stable

the appliance is fully switched off.
Within 1-2 seconds the gas valve should
automatically close. The flame is off.

pear.
Bubbles indicate a gas leak and the safety
valve must be replaced by a qualified ser-
viceman.
Rinse the burner jet with water. Light the
burner and allow it to burn for five minutes.
