Operation
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that :
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum
position (
Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig.
1 - letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a
power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator
to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without
the electrical device; in this case, approach the
burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down
and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
"maximum" position.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat
bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
