Hob burners control knobs
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:
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.
Models with automatic ignition
To light a burner, depress the relevant switch
marked with a small spark. Then, push in the
relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise to "maximum
position".
Models with semi-automatic ignition
Push in the relevant knob and turn it anticlockwise
to "maximum position". After lighting the flame,
keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds.
This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2, lett. C)
to be heated and the safety device to be switched
off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
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. 1-2, lett. A) is in
the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
•
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
Do not keep the control knob pressed for
more than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds,
release the control knob, turn it the "off" position
and wait for at least one minute before trying to
light the burner again.
If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control
knob to the "off" position and wait for at least 1
minute before trying to light the burner again.
