Using the hob

All the appliance's control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front panel.
The burner controlled by each knob is shown
next to the knob. The appliance is equipped
with an electronic ignition device. Simply press
the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the
maximum flame symbol, until the burner ignites. If
the burner does not light in the first 15 seconds,
turn the knob to and wait 60 seconds
before trying again. After lighting, keep the knob
pressed in for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out
when the knob is released: In this case, the
thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently.
Wait a few moments and repeat the operation.
Keep the knob pressed in longer.
In case of an accidental switching off, a
safety device will be tripped, cutting off
the gas supply, even if the gas cock is
open. Return the knob to
at least 60 seconds before lighting it
again.

The continuous contact between the
pan supports and the flame can cause
