Using Your Cooktop
CONTROLS
The following symbols will appear on the control
panel, next to each control knob:
Gas off
Large flame: maximum setting
Small flame: minimum setting
The minimum setting is at the end of the
anti-clockwise rotation of the control knob.
All operation positions must be selected between
the maximum and minimum position.
Never select a knob position between the
maximum and off position.
Burner indicator
The symbol above indicates which gas burner the
knob operates.
AUTOMATIC IGNITION WITH FLAME FAILURE
SAFETY DEVICE
Your cooktop is fitted with a flame failure safety
device on each burner, which is designed to stop
the flow of gas to the burner head in the event of
the flame going out.
To ignite a burner:
1
Press in the control knob of the burner that
you wish to light and turn it anti-clockwise to
the maximum position.
2 If you keep the control knob depressed, the
automatic ignition for the burner will operate.
3 You should hold down the control knob for 10
seconds after the flame on the burner has lit.
4 After this 10-second interval, turn the control
knob to your required setting between the
maximum and minimum setting symbols.
5 To switch the burner off, turn the control knob
fully clockwise to the gas off position.
6 In case of power failure, the burners can be lit
by carefully using a match.
SUITABLE PANS
Refer to the chart below and ensure that the pan
diameter falls within the minimum and maximum
diameters given for the burner to you using.
A pan base which is too small will be unstable
on the pan support. If the pan diameter is too
large, flames can spread out to the sides and
damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of the cooktop.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for this
type of damage.
