prevents the flow of gas if the burners

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise
while the burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the
burner to give off odours. This does not
pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is
caused by the presence of dust in the
atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid
when this gas appliance is used. You must
therefore ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: Either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install a
ventilation system (extractor hood).
Intense and prolonged use of the appliance
may mean additional ventilation is required
(for example, opening a window) or more
effective ventilation (for example,
increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown
out, switch off the burner operating control
knob and do not try to relight it for at least
one minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched
off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is
not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the
ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light
properly. Clean them periodically using a
small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the
ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.
Due to the plastic covering used to protect
the stainless steel on this appliance, you
may find remains of adhesive on engraved
areas. Remove them using a damp cloth.
