The knobs for using the gas hob of the cooker are found
on the control panel. The regulation knobs could be
turned in anti-clockwise direction until the small flame
symbol, and vice-versa for the larger symbol.

To light a burner:
1. push the relevant control knob in completely
and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum position
(
).
2. then, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero,
and try again.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite, check
that the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned
(see figure 2 - letter A and B).
To interrupt the supply of gas, turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to the position """.
When lighting the hob manually: Hold a flame near
the burner. Never turn the control knob before
approaching the burner with the flame.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
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.
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).
