Operation

Hob burners
To light a burner:
Push in the relevant control knob and turn it 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.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (lett. A) and the "crown"
(lett. B) are in the correct position.
Each control knob is equipped with a pilot light
which gradually lights up according to the heat
level that you select with the control knob.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a
power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator
to be activated automatically.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
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.
