Hob burners
To light a burner:
- turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position.
- At the same time push the electric
ignition button which is marked with a
little spark.
- Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down about 5 seconds: this will allow
the thermocouple 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.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
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).
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.
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 Centre.
