Hob burners
To light a burner:
l Push the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark ( ).
l At the same time, push in and turn the relevant control
knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
l Then adjust the flame as required.
l 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.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, 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 Force Centre.
