OPERATING THE GAS BURNERS
Ignition and operation
of the burners
Rapid cooking zones (only available in some models)
diff er from the conventional cooking zones by their
maximum power which allows them to heat up faster.
These cooking zones are indicated by a red dot in the
middle; after a while, due to repeated use and cleaning,
this dot may disappear.
Models with two gas burners:
• Operate the gas burners using the knobs on the hob.
Power levels are indicated on the knobs by large and small
fl ame symbols (see section Appliance description).
• Rotate the knob through the large fl ame position ( )
to the small fl ame position ( ) and back. Operation interval
lies between the two fl ame symbols.
• Gas burners can be ignited using the electric spar plug built
into each gas burner (only available with some models).
Before rotating the knob, it should first be depressed.
Single-handed ignition
• In order to ignite the gas burner, press the selected burner
control knob and rotate it to the maximum power (fl ame)
position. An electric spark will be generated automatically,
igniting the releasing gas.
• If the electric ignition should not work due to a power
failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can also be ignited
using a match or a gas lighter. After igniting the gas, keep
the control knob pressed for another ten seconds, until the
fl ame settles.
• The fl ame can then be set between the maximum and
minimum level. Any setting between ( ) and ( ) is not
recommended, as the fl ame is not stable in this interval and
may be extinguished.
If the burner hasn't ignited after the knob has been
depressed for fifteen seconds, close the burner and
wait at least one minute. Then, repeat the ignition
process.
If the burner flame is extinguished (for any reason),
close the burner and wait at least one minute before
attempting to re-ignite it.
• To extinguish the fl ame and close the burner gas supply,
rotate the control knob to the right, to the 'OFF' position
( ).
