6. USING THE HOB
6.1 Gas hob
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame diffuser rings are
correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the
holes A in the flame diffusers are aligned with the plugs and
thermocouples.
The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob,
the appliance comes complete with a raised grid C. This grid is intended
for use underneath pans which exceed the diameter stated in the table in
point "6.3 Pan diameters". All pans more than 30 cm in diameter must
only be used on the central burner.
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic ignition
device. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol, until the
burner lights. If it does not light within the first 15
seconds, turn the knob to 0 and wait at least 60
seconds before trying to light the burner again.
On models equipped with valves, once the burner has ignited, keep the
knob pressed down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat
up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the
thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and
repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer. This is
not necessary on burners not equipped with thermocouple. Once the
burner has been ignited, the flame can be regulated as required. After
each use of the hob, always check that the control knobs are turned to
(off).
If the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped
about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is
open. In this case, turn the knob back to the off position and wait at least
60 seconds before trying to relight the burner.
