Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not switch on after 15 seconds,
switch off the control knob and open the door or
window in the room. Wait at least a minute before
igniting the burner again.
It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
Note:
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition faults.
Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small non-
metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plugs
from suffering any heavy knocks.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
Switch on the burner as usual.
1.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
2.
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
8
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.

Instructions for use
When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
Note:
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance.
The following recommendations can help you save
energy and avoid damaging your cookware:

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using a
lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
