USE OF GAS BURNERS
Ignition of the burners:
To determine which knob controls which burner, check the position symbol above the knob.:
Manual Ignition:
If your appliance is not equipped with any ignition aid or in case there is a failure in the electricity
network, follow the procedures listed below:
To ignite one of the burner, press and turn its knob counter-clockwise so that the knob is in max.
position, approach a match, taper or another manual aid to its upper circumference.
Electrical Ignition:Electrical ignition of gas burners can be done in two ways; depending on the
configuration of your appliance.
Ignition by Spark Button:Press the valve of the burner you want to operate and turn the valve in
the counter-clockwise direction so that the knob is in max. position and with your other hand, press the
ignition button at the same time. Press the ignition button immediately, because if you wait, a build up
of gas may cause the flame to spread. Continue pressing the ignition button until you see a stable
flame on the burner.
Ignition Through Hob Valve (micro switch)
Press the valve of the burner you want to operate and turn the valve in the counterclockwise direction
so that the knob is in max. position, while keeping the knob pressed. The spark plugs will generate sparks
as long as you keep the control knob pressed. The micro switch placed under the knob will automatically
create sparks through the spark plug of the burner. Continue pressing the knob until you see a stable flame
on the burner.
Flame Safety Device:
Hob Burners (If your hob is equipped with gas safety device )
Hobs equipped with flame failure device provide security in case of accidentally extinguished
flame. If such a case occurs, the device will block the burners gas channels and will avoid any
accumulation of unburned gas. Wait 90 seconds before re-igniting an extinguished gas burner.
Control of the Hob Burners
The knob has 3 positions: Off (0), max (big flame symbol) and min (small flame symbol). After you
ignite the burner in max. position; you can adjust the flame length between max. and min. positions. Do not
operate the burners when the knob position is between max. and off positions.
After the ignition, check the flames visually. If you see yellow tip, lifted or unstable flames; turn the gas
flow off, and check the assembly of burner caps and crowns. Also, make sure that no liquid has flown into
the burner cups. If the burner flames go out accidentally, turn the burners off, ventilate the kitchen with fresh
air, and do not attempt re-ignition for 90 sec.
When turning the hob off, turn the knob in the clockwise direction so that the knob shows "0" position.
Your hob has burners of different diameters. The most economic way of using gas is too choose
the correct size gas burners for your cooking pan size and to bring the flame to minimum position once
the boiling point is reached. It is recommended to always cover your cooking pan.
In order to obtain maximum performance from the main burners, use pots with the following flat
bottom diameters. Using smaller pots than the minimum dimensions stated below will cause energy
loss.
