If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).
2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner
on.
Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the
burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device
is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without
releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly
for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

It is normal to hear a slight 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.
