9.2 Important information about the gas hob
Follow these instructions when using your gas hob.
¡ A slight whistling when operating the burner is nor-
mal.
¡ Odour formation during the first uses is normal. This
does not indicate a risk or malfunction. It will stop
after a while.
¡ An orange flame is normal. This is caused by dust
in the air, overflowing liquids, etc.
¡ If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, switch off
the burner's selector and wait at least 1 minute be-
fore igniting the burner again.
¡ A few seconds after switching off the hob, you may
hear noises, such as a slight clicking, from the
burner. This is not unusual, but shows that the pilot
is deactivated.
¡ Keep the ignition plugs clean. If the ignition plugs
are dirty, the igniter is damaged. Clean the ignition
plugs regularly with a small, metal-free brush. En-
sure that the ignition plugs are not exposed to any
heavy knocks.
