Lighting gas hotplate, grill and oven
Electronic ignition (For models WFE616 and WFE619)
These hobs are fitted with mains powered electronic ignition.
When the appliance has been connected and the power is on,
depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To light a
burner, depress the corresponding knob and while continuing to
depress knob turn anticlockwise to 'HI' position. The knob may
be released once the flame is established, and turned further
anticlockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.
Push button Ignition (For models WFG617)
Turn appropriate burner control knob to maximum and at the
same time press the ignition switch.
Thermocouple
Flame safeguard models (For models WFE616, WFE619,
WFG617)
Models with flame safeguard have the same ignition procedure
as above but require the knob to continue to be depressed after
flame is established for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame
goes out when the knob is released, simply depress the knob
again, this time holding it down with slightly more force for the
same length of time.
