4. Using the cooking hob
Make sure that the flame caps, the burner caps and the pan supports are fitted correctly.
During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used.
Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the cooking hob unattended
while it is on.
4.1 Switching on the burners
All the hob burner knobs have the following symbols:
OFF
high flame
low flame
The low flame setting is found by turning the knob anticlockwise all the way. All intermediate
settings must be selected between the high flame and low flame,
never between high flame and

press the knob corresponding to the required burner and turn it anticlockwise to the low setting
.
Hold down the knob to activate the automatic "one-touch" lighting system. When the burner is on,
hold down the knob for approximately
10 seconds

of a power cut, the burner can also be lit with a match (see section “4.1.2 Manual lighting”).
Should the burner switch off accidentally, the safety thermocouple blocks the gas flow, even when
the tap is open.
The device should not been activated for longer than 15 seconds. If after that time it fails to
operate stop pressing the knob, open the window and wait 1 minute before trying again. In case
the flame goes out accidentally turn off the knob and do not try to switch on the burner for at least
1 minute.
