Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the hob burners control knobs
mean that:
z there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before
putting a pan on the pan support.
To light a burner:
z Push in the relevant knob and turn it
anticlockwise to "maximum position".
z At the same time, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. C) to be heated
and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
z Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it
as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) is in the
correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
z.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
Always turn the flame down or put it out
before taking the pans off the burner.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans
with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so
that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the
vessel (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.
