7.2 Lighting the burners using a safety device

Beside each knob, the burner it controls is indicated (the example to the left

corresponds to the front left burner).

The appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and

simultaneously turn it anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until it lights. Hold

down the knob for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety

device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. If this happens, repeat the

procedure, holding the knob down for longer.

When the burner is lit, the relevant activation knob will light up to indicate this. The

knob will turn off a few seconds after it is turned to the O position or if the burner goes

out accidentally. The knob light turns on and off gradually.

If the burners should go out accidentally, after about 20 seconds the safety device will

be tripped, cutting off the gas supply, even if the gas tap is open.

For better burner performance and minimum gas consumption, pans with

flat, even bases and with lids should be used, and their size should be in

proportion to the burner (see "7.5 Pan diameters").

During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the hob top, all pans

or griddles must be positioned inside the outer edge of the hob and at a

minimum distance of 5-7 cm must be maintained from the knobs.
